Upgraded at HIT locally without Russian input. The pakistani t-80ud is Malashev's Objekt 478 BE-1 with welded turret and other innovations.
this is one of those 5 Pakistani t80 tanks updated by ukraine to OPLOT M standard for Pakistan to check out.

As far as we r concern, lets just agree we suck! AK project is great example.

Upgraded to what?? Oplot came for trials twice but was rejected as Ukrainians could'nt guarantee supply and it had other issues.

No UD was upgraded to Oplot standard. As for AK, it's better in general performance than UD and 90S/M both. Funding issues have plagued the project from the start.

in case u missed 5 t80UD were updated by ukrainians as an update to be tested and evaluated by PA, if they r satisfied then rest of 315 would be updated to same standard. @Quwa had also reported that.

AS for AK last i heard, its discontinued.

No I didn't miss such things due to my affiliation with HIT. The UDs upgraded were NOT to Oplot standard. Rather, they were upgraded with Ukrainian assistance with close to 84 config.
Yes, AK is discontinued BECAUSE of the production of AK1. 42 are in service while more are being manufactured.

Jet?. Must be Gas Turbine engine, but Pakistan is already happy with Ukrainian Diesel option and there has been considerable investment in infrastructure for it.

and that is that ukraine updated t80ud close to t84 as u said...one of those 5 units.

AK1, if being still produced is good news, however what abt AK2? this project has been stopped thats why they were going for t90s
