Thailand intends to purchase a total of 150 Chinese-made VT-4 MBT: unit price 5.8 million US dollars

.
M1A1 cost you 21 millions USD,you call 21 millions and 5.8 millions the same amount!?

Are you sure it is 21 million USD? Abram price tag was 6.21 Million USD, and now 8.92 million USD (because of the inflation). Leopard 2 is also around 6 million USD. Indonesia bought 180 secondhand Leopard 2A4 from Germany for around 2 - 3 Million USD each.

21 Million USD is impossible for Tank price tag. It is more of cheap Aircraft price tag. Even JF-17 block 1 has 25 Million USD price tag. Are you say that M1A2 Abram is as expensive as JF-17?

If US can sell MQ9 drone 105 millions each to India ,I did not see why M1A1 can not reach 21millions may be even more expensive!
Self used price and export price are different my freind,especially yankees export!

Need I remind you that VT 4 is the export version of CHINA PLA advanced Type 99A MBT.
It is far more better than the T90s upgraded from T 72.

There is also a very big pre condition:If "beloved "yankees let you give them money firstly.
If not,forget it already.

M1A2 SEPv3 factory Price is more than 22 millions USD,guess what the price will be when handed over to its foreign client!?

MQ9 facotry price around 15 millions USD ,
price sold to indians:105 millions USD each,who said indians are poor!!?

Actually at 5.8 million US dollar per unit is very bargaining prices. Considering this tank had more advantage compared to even T90 of Russia, like insulation cabin for their crew, better equipment and electronic stuff, not to mention other legacy T series. This will be a major improvement for Thailand Armor Corps.

New Leopard 2 series being sold to Qatar for almost 12 millions US dollar per pop. And secondhand Abrams to Australia for almost 5 million US dollar decade ago

Highly unlikely now, first pak dont have the money. Second China may now not give the loan like other defence deals.
First of all weapons we want to buy we are buying them. And OPLOT or VT 4 winner will be announced soon and produced in Pakistan with full TOT

Where did you get that price from?

As far as I recall and only continue to find now, the deal was 2.5 Billion worth for 62 Leopard 2A7 and 24 PzH 2000 including the usual peripherals. The PzH should be cheaper than the new Leopard, but even if it did cost as much, the unit price for a Leopard would end up at about 29 million US Dollar.

A new bulk order?

Regarding the VT-4 deal I think it will realistically boil down to about 70-100 units at a slighter higher unit price after negotiations. Granted the more than timely delivery by China, Thailand is neither in a rush, nor is it caught in a boom and has really that much money to squander.

Thailand is now actually in a rush!
After pass order to Ukrain,Thailand only gets 20 units of T84 6 years later!
With the 20 Units T-84 from Ukrain (berely made it, they have civil war issue),and with the more 28 units VT-4(already deliveried)+21 units(under production),Thailand has now 69 New 3rd generation MBT, this si some number but not that much really.

Vietnam has 1,500 tanks (although most of them are old models), but Vietnam continues to introduce more relatively advanced T90s. Both China and Thailand should be wary of the increase in Vietnam's tank power. However, the Vietnamese army(tank power) pose more threat to Thailand, Laos and Cambodia than that to China.

Dude, we attacked Thai from 1979-1988 and Thai gay soldiers always chose to run away when seeing our troops. Its No use and no chance for Thai to fight against VN army as usless PLA also dare not send men to help Thai.

Its US sanction that stop our expansion till now. Stupid PLA generals wt human wave tactic and Thai army r cheap joke. Its a waste for Thai to buy submarine and tank as Thai and PLA army only can fight against terrorist who got poor trained and poor equiped, can not use in real war.
