Pakistan outlines industry gains despite economic constraints
Jon Grevatt - Jane's Defence Weekly
22 September 2019

Pakistan’s Ministry of Defence Production (MoDP) has pointed to some of the gains its national defence industry has achieved despite continuing economic constraints. The MoDP’s recently published 2017–18 yearbook shows advancements in major programmes and how local enterprises are positioning for future expansion.

The book also provides insight into some of Pakistan’s major military programmes across air, land, and sea domains. These include the upgrades for armoured personnel carriers (APCs) and main battle tanks (MBTs), the development of the Al‐Khalid II MBTs, the production of JF-17 Thunder multirole combat aircraft, and the development of Pakistan’s proposed next-generation fighter aircraft.

Indicating some of the pressure that local industry has been under in recent years, the report said the Pakistan Ordnance Factories Board (POF), one of the country’s largest defence enterprises, has had government subsidies reduced while production targets have increased.

Efforts toward improving armored capabilities include finding substitutions to component imports and indigenous development, specifically:

• The manufacturing of auxiliary power units for the Al-Zarrar and T-80UD tanks.
• The development and trials of a sabot FSDS-T round.
• The development of a driver’s thermal imaging/night vision periscope.
• The assembly of engines for the Al-Khalid and T-80UD tanks.
• The rebuilding and upgrading of 160 Type-85IIAP main battle tanks between 2019-2020 and 2021-2022.
• A pilot effort to rebuild T-80UDs (completed in August 2019).
• The continued rebuilding of M113-series armored personnel carriers.
• The continued upgrade of Type-59 main battle tanks to the Al-Zarrar version.
• The low-rate production of 20 Al-Khalid I tanks, plus the final-stage development of the Al-Khalid II (featuring an enhanced power pack and fire-control/gun-control system).

A program for a tracked infantry fighting vehicle, or IFV, was also mentioned in the ministry’s document. State-owned armored fighting vehicle manufacturer HIT developed the Viper to meet this need. The static prototype was displayed at the IDEAS2018 defense expo. The platform was based on the M113 series, but was armed with a Slovak Turra 30 unmanned turret.
