Bro, you misunderstood my reply, No Pakistan will never buy all of these, instead PA is only looking to buy 'one' Main Battle Tank under the local customized, version of 'Al-Haider' Next Generation Tank Project, which is efficient, fast, modern and perfect for Pakistani terrains and the other only project is the upgrade of AK to AK-II / AK-3 latest standards. These are the only two main projects.
Pakistan is testing MBT 99A, Oplot-M, VT4 and some other western tanks, to select one future MBT, it is also doing tests to compare Al-Khalid's performance. The tests are done on various tanks, to also use the better technologies of other tanks and incorporate into future AK-2/ AK-3 and Haider MBTs.
Both AK and Haider MBTs, have different configurations, weight class, weapon systems, terrain use like deserts, mountainous, plains, marshes, forestry and agricultural areas.
Pakistan wants to market both AK and Haider to world.

please re-read the post, which i was just trying to tell the weaknesses of the tanks yet tested by Pak Army, and so if those weaknesses in Oplot-M, VT-4/MBT-3000 are removed, and upgraded and PA's specifications are implemented, these tanks might be back in contest. For example Russian T-90 initially failed in Hot Indian conditions, and it heated up, but after later modification, and A/C unit, it was ordered by Indian Army, so, Here is my original reply:
"
The Pa's Haider program involves testing various platforms n selecting the most perfect suited to its own conditions. The articles link n details r on the OP, t99A is the ideal tank with Pakistani customisation to make it Pak environmental friendly.
Well, AK-II a separate weight class project which should be going into serial production Spring of 2016.
Norinco VT4 MBT-3000 main battle tank Is still on cards along Oplot-M. Not sure how it came about that VT4 is dropped but the fact remains similar to FM-90 SAM, PA had requested some upgrades in VT4 prior to the evaluations. One of the upgrades PA requested to Mbt3000, vt-4 was to have the ability to fire laser guided shells n better armour.
The only thing which is happening with T-80 in Ukraine is that PA has quietly asked for spare parts from the tanks which are stored and withdrawn from service. T-84 op lot-m is an upgrade toT-80s serving in PA."

Drugs and cocaine is ur daily need and ur class of taste.
Were you high drunk when you first said this, ''Plus order from above not to encourage chinese at all. As we are no longer going to take chinses tanks. Because of certain kickback issues.1500 hp" Source:
T-84 oplot M fails testing what now for the army, in terms of tanks?
So how come PA is testing Chinese T99A, a new tank again?
Chinese are known to never bribe, infact Ukrainians bribe and give kick backs, which was cleverly concealed.
You are the one who come with fishy news of Ukrainian Oplot-M confirmed tank, later it turned out to be tat it was not selected, and even the tests failed. So keep your idiotic labeling on yourself.
