I read that discussion and let me contribute some words to it
The Oplot-M has been chosen probably, because of logistical reasons and not because of his capabilities, but i think it was a mistake. Why? Because modern Ukraine can't produce tanks in big numbers.
Just look at the history of Thailand contract with Ukraine. Contract with Thailand was signed in 2011 for delivery of 49 Oplot-M and 2 recovery vehicles on its base.
Since 2011 was delivered to Thailand only 10(!!!) of Oplot-M and today is 2015...
So i'm pretty sure that Pakistan will not be happy with this contract in near future. Mark my words.
There was also discussion about "Ukrainian technologies" and in general in cooperation with Russian Military industrial complex.
First of all, Ukraine doesn't produce any key technologies for Russian techs(except maybe gas turbines for ships, but its will be also replaced). The andrei-bt claims that they produce thermal vision, but in fact they don't have technologies of production matrix for thermal cameras, they bought them from sagem, irrc.
The second one, Russia producing their own thermal visions for tanks, helicopters. etc. without any foreign components.
Also, the main reason why ukraine even producing some components for Russia, because 1. Salaries in ukraine x3 time smaller then in Russia, so products are cheaper, this is including military hardware.
2.Ukrainian industrial complex produced some components only for old techs, such as BMP-2, some spare parts for helicopters engines which is were designed during soviet times and so cooperation stays since this times.
The same why Belarussian thermal sign was chosen for modernisation of T-72B, because this product is also cheaper.
There was some question. Why Russia don't use T-80 and going for T-72.
Because we have plans of unification of our combat platforms, first step is make tank forces only T-72\T-90 operating platform, the next step, the Armata platform will replace all this tanks, recovery vehicles and many many others military vehicles.
Also, i strongly don't recommend to you read that crap which is written by anrei-bt He's on the salary of ukroboron prom and talk cr@p about tanks which is were produced by Uralvagonzavod all the time. It's he's personal problem, but that's another story
