PAKISTAN MAY NEGOTIATE WITH UKRAINE FOR 100 OPLOT-M MAIN BATTLE TANKS

OPLOT had failed field trials in Pakistan. The engine was unable to withstand the desert heat in Saleh Put Ranges near Sukker. The same had happened many years ago during the selection process of T-80UD as well as the engine had cracked under intense heat. I would take this news with a pinch of salt
Yet we are using same engine and other engines from same country almost in all of Our Tanks o_O . So don't you think the Issue is resolved , I do hope so!:cheers:
 
. .
From the recent IDEAS exhibition it was learnt that PA is in talks with Ukraine for upgrading its T-80UD tanks bringing them upto OPLOT level. So OPLOT induction in PA was supposed to happen. Now what is not confirm is whether the 100 tanks mentioned here are upgraded T-80UDs to OPLOT or new builds.
I disclosed it in October [emoji4], yet a few mocked me

Hazrat why would we go for T90 when Oplot fits the bill perfectly?
OPLOT M had issues in first test so it was supposed to come after sometime and also T-90 was supposed to come for testing

Yes it failed first tests but Ukraine than promised to resolve the issue soon so after they resolve the issue the Tank will return for testing again also T-90 MS was supposed to come for testing who will win will become our AL HAIDER.

Hazrat I would place my bet on Oplot as we already operate the same chassis in T84 which will be upgraded and brought to Oplot level. T90 is based on T72 chassis and I don't think we need T90 but there is no harm in testing it.

But based on engine the Ukrainian option is far better as they have better engines to offer than T90 which comes with a 1000HP engine only.

Yet 320 t 80 s are thundering over Pakistani sand dunes

T-80UDs were intentionally shoved down the throats of Pakistan Army by Gen. Jehangir Karamat for reasons now know to everyone. Pakistan Army is still unsatisfied with T-80UD simply because of unavailability of the GALOL oil from anywhere but Ukraine! Seems like the same mafia is pressuring the Army into another corner

The last OPLOT M failed. They are yet to send another one. Until that happens and the Army goes through formal summer and winter trials no selection or purchase can come through. Rest everything is up to the imagination of the kiddies here

Having personally had a ride in a T-80UD I would like to inform you the army is more than pleased

Even if test T-84 OPLOT had a engine failure could be a rectifiable issue as already its in widespread use in Pakistan and beat German, French and Chinese alternatives when chosen for Al-Khalid.
Ukrainian KMDB 6TD variant engines power the T-80UD, T-84 OPLOT and the Al-Khalid. It's already being fielded in huge numbers in PA and Pakistan is in process of getting TOT for it.
A newer 1500HP 6TD-3 variant has been offered to Pakistan.

It's a very good tank, issue with Thailand delivery happened because of unstable situation in Ukraine. In event of a Pakistan order it is likely that there will be alot of tech transfer and local manufacture in Pakistan.

YES it failed but will return soon Ukraine claims to have resolved the issue so it would return for testing and even 1200 HP which we use in AL KHALID failed but later UKRAINE resolved the issue
