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.
Pakistan recently signed $600 Million deal with Ukraine for 200 engine for Al-khalid 2 and other equipment for up gradation of T-80UD and I don't think these 100 could be the upgraded one because up gradation was supposed to happen in Pakistan. I feel its Al-Haider tank.
Are you sure to Oplot-M level? I guess PA was going to upgrade T-80UD to T-84 not oplot-m level because Oplot-M weighs 51 tonnes while T-80UD and T-84 weighs 46 tonnes.
