    Ukraine
The Ukrainian Ground Forces has 10 T-84 Oplot-Ms in service.[citation needed]
The Royal Thai Army has 5 T-84 Oplot-M in service.[13] In March 2011, the Royal Thai Army placed an order for 49 T-84s to replace its fleet of aging M41A3 Walker Bulldog light tanks. Up to 200 tanks may eventually be acquired. However, the Royal Thai Army had yet to make an official announcement.[14][15] The government had just approved 7.155 billion baht to purchase the first 49 Oplot tanks to be assigned to several units: the 2nd cavalry battalion (Royal Guard at Fort Chakrabongse, Prachinburi), the 4th cavalry battalion (Royal Guard at Kiakkai, Bangkok), the 8th cavalry battalion (Fort Suranari, Nakhon Ratchasima), and the 9th cavalry battalion (Fort Ekathotsarot, Phitsanuloke).[16][17][18] The first T-84 Oplot will be delivered to be tested at Cavalry Center at Fort Adisorn, Saraburi in mid-2013 and during the official procurement. The factory in Ukraine had offered the extra 5 T-84 Oplot in addition to the first 49 Oplot tanks.[19][20] The Oplot-M 5 to be delivered on 5 February 2014, 20 will deliver in July 2014.[21]

Potential sales
In 2009, Peru reportedly tested the Oplot tank, but the government of Alan Garcia later decided to acquire test examples of the Chinese MBT-2000 in late 2010, only to have the government of his successor, Ollanta Humala, abandon the purchase in early 2012 to seek other alternatives.[22][23] In May 2013, the T-84 was reported to be part of comparative tests to be conducted by Peru. The T-84 competed against the T-90S, the M1A1 Abrams, the Leopard 2A4 and A6, and the T-64 also offered by Ukraine.[24] By September 2013, only the T-84, T-90S, Russian T-80, and M1A1 Abrams were still competing.[25]

Lost sales
In 2007 the Bangladesh Army began negotiations for the procurement of 76 T-84 Yatagan tanks in the first batch. The Bangladesh Army intends to induct a substantial number of Yatagans (200 to 300) over the next several years as part of its third generation main battle tank procurement program.[26] However, Bangladesh finally has decided to buy 44 MBT-2000 in 2011.[27]
In January 2011, Azerbaijan showed interest in the Oplot main battle tank. The Defense Ministry of Ukraine has long been holding negotiations on this issue.[28] In June 2013, it has been made public that Azerbaijan had instead purchased 100 RussianT-90 tanks,[29] in a series of rearmament deals worth $4 billion with Russia.

don't copy from wikipedia you your head and don't use copy and paste.
 
Oplot offer that the AK, the AK 1, and the T-80 UDs don't already offer us
It Will save time , Pak will get it earlier , easy maintenance , infrastructure wont need dramatic changes , will be operational in less time .e.g Pak bought f16 from Jordan they could have waited for jf 17 they had money , they bought those birds , what happened , it caught India by surprise , in a giff their was a operational squander of F 16 in Pak ,
These Projects take Time , Pakistan isn't Russia neither U.S where they can run factories to manufacture different weapons and don't get delays ,
In War timing is everything

I think I read that the engine is not local but an import, I am not sure about this, if you could tell me what the case is? because any engine originating from western entities would be worrisome for Pakistan as sanctions have crippled our armed forces at vital times before.

Hi,

What did you mean by local engine if I may ask!
 
we can manufacture them but not upto the quality level as let's say the russians, or the ukrainians for that matter...
i believe we did wish that the chinese would develop something more suitable but seeing their tank i felt like they didn't put a whole lot attention to their tank development...
ukrainian r&d in this sector is without any doubt superior to ours and since we already operate their tanks anyways we know em pretty well...
surprisingly even though the chief didn't even visit ukraine, it seems that his trips certainly don't revolve around munitions rather something else...

Hi,

The possible reason being that china is not concerned about an armored invasion---. Its primary concern is naval and air strikes.
 
Best pics of VT-4 on the internet. A treat it was, thanks.
If Pakistan has chosen T-84 Oplot M Why two more Tanks are coming in December to be tested ?
