Pakistan Army's VT-4 Main Battle Tank | Updates & Discussions

1000 of VT4?

Don't be surprised if we go well beyond 1000

In the mix we are also getting alot of "extra stuff" that will help our development of AK, Ak2

Why is it rocking back and forth when firing at 0:32. Is this normal?

It’s the recoil from the gun, a tank needs to have very good recoil control, if the tank didn’t move like that to cancel the forces from the gun and stayed stiff it would basically destroy itself from the vibrations of the gun. It’s a normal thing. Some extra movement may be seen due to the skirts over the tracks. It’s also firing over it’s side which means less of the length of the hull is receiving the recoil (in the opposite direction to the recoil). All these factors combined make it seem like it’s wobbling too much. But it’s nothing out of the ordinary.

Right, its 700 to 750mm max. Its not chinese Type 99A but its lower end version.

They would never give you an actual figure. But the first one is obviously too high to be realistic. Nonetheless it is more than enough, especially against what the enemy has in store for it.

off-topic but what happened to the 132-odd Type 69s that were refitted with 100mm guns and sent to FC KP/BLN? Considering the fact that all operations of such nature are over since '17, there is a possibility of them being returned to the army, with or without refitting the 105mm again. any insight? @PanzerKiel

Many are suggesting that we're getting 7 regiments of VT-4s. How would those add-up if the total order is going to be 300? (considering 44 per regiment). would there be some more orders or change in ceiling per regt or 6 regts plus a recce regt? the latter looks probable.

Hamid mir is pissed off

Alkhalid already has 650mm naiza 2 round so my estimate is good that it wont be beyond 800mm but will be between 700 to 800mm

"Normal for Eastern Block Tanks!

Portuguese Leo2A6 firing at its side, 120/55 gun

Keep the volume low for this!

Will induction of VT-4 help in the development of AK2?


Perhaps we could ask our Chinese friends for some ToT

T-90 after knowing that the VT-4 has been inducted by PA

With a turret that moves this fast the T-90 would be sh!TT!ng ERA bricks.

 

[Path-Finder]

I wonder if there will be a development the main gun department. after the revelation of Rheinmetall 130mm gun, maybe its time to push for beyond 125mm

 

[Blacklight]

I think u are in the armd corps or MO directorate

Higher than that, much higher.

I didn't know VT4's fly in the sky and how the heck do they plant IED's in the sky?

... tanks will be blown straight out of the sky.

A M1 Abrams tank blown apart by an IED ... most likely around 20 kg. When I meant a tank will be blown out of the sky ... I meant it loosely. But below is the reason why you still need a dedicated MRAP instead of a tank to face IEDs. There are some IEDs tanks can deal with but a majority of them will end in bad consequences.

I want to know how the turret separated the way it did and got tossed away. And survival of the crew.

 

[Thorough Pro]

Fighter jets are shot/blown out of the sky because they fly, tanks don't fly so they can't be "blown out of the sky" they can be blown to pieces, or blown to smithereens or blown out to space, etc. etc.

Only MRAPs can survive large IEDs ... tanks will be blown straight out of the sky.
