What's hampering PAK's total indigenization of the AK tank? I believe PAK should do a sole R&D and develop a completely new prototype tank just to test the experience & home grown tech of domestic industries. But then again U guys R short on cash thanks to WOT.
Pakistan has indigenous capability to manufacture AKI, for the new version of AK, AKII Pakistan is co-opting with China getting important technology from China.
Problem with developing a brand new proto-type tank and platform is it is not cost efficient and would take too long, and AK platform already satisfies the needs of PA so no urgency to develop new platform.
Though I would like to see Pakistan evaluate Altay tanks from Turkiye and see if they are beneficial for Pakistan and give Pakistan a decisive and technological edge over regional threats in regards to tank warfare; and if so procure at least 50 (with transfer of technology) of them as a specialized cavalry unit.
