Tit bits:
= VT-4 and Oplot -P, both are not coming despite better performance in the second leg of trials. No decision made on Al Haider as focus is shifted to Alkhalid-1 and the next gen Alkhalid-2. Funds have been released for both.
= SH15 has bright prospects to be chosen as the next wheeled howitzer for PA, has performed better than Nora B52.
What is the expected timeline for the development of Alkhalid-2 ? I find it would take another 5 years before next battle tank is ready for production, and then another 4-5 years before they are produced in sufficient numbers to meet requirements. So why not cut the timeline short, get something off the shelf while keeping own developments going as a "second leg" to talk on?
