PAKISTAN MINISTER OF DEFENCE PRODUCTION & HEAVY INDUSTRIES TAXILA CHAIRMAN VISITING UKRAINE

[Arsalan]

Altay was never happening, not what we know today as Altay even though many people were "confirming" that on this forum.
Ukranian engine is what we really fell for and rightly so. I just hope that the oplot M deal is a sweetner and we actually use the engine for our own next MBT (call it Haider or AK2, whatever you like). For that the Ukranian engine along with a VT4 or some other main frame with some Turkish and Ukranian goodies and some western fire control etc will actually give us a beast that will serve us for decades. I just hope we do not neglect that possibility as that is going to be HUGE!

I think OPLOT M and and engine both will come. After all you can use one engine in different Tanks and still Tanka can be totally different from one another

Wait till mighty India open their never ending bank accounts to stop Ukraine from doing any business with Pakistan, maybe a 30 year procurement plan to buy IL-78

Look up Reliance Industries and Antonov 178.

Sorry @Quwa and @Bilal Khan 777 I was waiting for you to start the thread but now I have started this

There is nothing here. This is common to visit defense expos. Pakistan is courting Russia for the key technologies. Ukraine has nothing that lists in A priority.

A 1,500 hp diesel engine for our MBTs is something we've been looking for some years. I believe we will be taking a look at the one Ukraine had just revealed in the summer.

It does not open the changes for OPLOT, nor it opens chances to work with Ukraine defense industry, which is already on the way down after Russian conflict.

Pakistan with buy engine and spares, and not a ToT.

Sir there is engine and there is OPLOT M and there is lot of new Anti Tank stuff also hearing about some Air Defence and MRAP and also ship engines and few other stuff. So there is lot of stuff which we can get from Ukraine. But this visit seems to be related to engine and OPLOT M @Dazzler @balixd @DESERT FIGHTER

Sir the OPLOT M we tested was with 1500 HP engine. The engine had few issues otherwise we loved OPLOT M. But now it seem Ukraine as it promised to resolve engine issue has managed to do it and we are opting for engine and Oplot M as well and with TOT

sir whats harm in getting tot

 

[tarrar]

We know 1500hp engine is what Pakistan wants. Apart from that may be a new tank?

Yes OPLOT M would come

Lets hope for the best. It is true tge Oplot failed in the trials, so yes it looks like Ukraine has fixed the issues, but lets wait & see.

The only issue with OPLOT was engine but other than that we loved the Tank and now it seem they have resolved the engine problem

 

[Dazzler]

The idea is to operate oplot m and alkhalid 2 on the same engine and transmission (1500h, automatic) as we saw with t-80ud and Alkhalid/ Alkhalid1. Though AK houses a more powerful version, it is still the same 6td series having similar dimensions but with increased output.

However, Oplot M will first have to successfully prove its worth during trials.

Altay is not an an option as AK 2 will fill the slot of next generation mbt in army. Even with all the goodies and addons, AK 2 WOULD still be lighter and cheaper than Altay, and will pack a similar, if not more powerful punch.

thats just speculations, like India does to every arms supplier, there is nothing concrete on the ground
