What can I say about this? According to my information, the topic the two sides worked out quietly. But orders from Pakistan had not yet reached not to the Kharkiv Morozov Machine Building Bureau, not to the plant Malyshev. These Ukrainian companies are currently working in three main directions. The first trend - the gradual implementation of the Thai order, as the receipt of funds from the customer. The second direction (Malyshev Plant) - a successful, according to the delivery schedules, the production of the engine compartment to the tank Al-Khalid Mk.1 with 6TD 2E. And the third, most fundamental today for the Ukrainian enterprises - fulfillment of the State Defence Order for replenishment of new and refurbished equipment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to protect the eastern territories of Ukraine from external military aggression of the Russian Federation against the independent state of Ukraine.
