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

Engine commonality with the al-Khalid and the possibility of re-manufacturing the Army's T-80UDs into Oplots might also be reasons for interest.
That's what i suspect. PA wants to convert UD to OplotM standard and they might be asking to get that work done in-house. Buying 100 or so Oplot M off the shelf might be a way to sweeten the deal for Ukranians.
Oplot M will serve thar deserts, while Al-Khalid will roam the fields of punjab.
 
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

Then how T-80UD problem was solved? Or Pakistan purchased them with problems due to some kick bags?

I also bet on OPLOT M I am only giving news of what I have that OPLOT M was supposed to come for testing

What is different between 80-UD and Oplot-M?
 
I dun see why would they buy them anyways, they have al khalid 2 and it contains most advance technologies. Why to waste money on relativly expensive platform when you even promised semi automated secondry weapon in al khalid 3
Even AK I has a RCWS.'

Oplot may chosen cox we are upgrading T-80UD tanks bringing them upto OPLOT level.

And have alot of tanks to replace.

bro, in a nut shell ... how our Al-Khalid 1 is compared to Oplot-M ?

AK superior when it comes to firepower etc.

Possible Slightly inferior when it comes to protection.

AK II will rectify that... while retaining its firepower and electronic/gadgetry strength it shall be heavier,more protected armour and a bigger 1500hp engine.

Nonsense, there are still large number of machinery and tools need to be transfer from Ukraine. The unstable situations in Ukraine will still affect everything. The Ukrainian is desperate in all situation and therefore make a lot of tall promise that is very unlikely to be delivered.


Nonsense. RTA has claimed VT-4 is superior and even buying additional 10 mores. Thailand claim Ukraine tank is nothing but thrash. They regret buying Ukrainian stuff.

Same as Iraq army who claimed M1A2 serving them is very inferior. Even ISIS can easily knock them out. Iraq army are very impress with VT-4 and going for a big order together with HQ-9 SAM and CH-5 UCAV.
Abram MBTs provided to Arabs are downgraded moreover the incompetency on the part of Iraqi army also resulted in MBT losses same like KSA lost many in Yemen.
Further many factors count in selection of MBTs and other military stuff.
