The press said that Pakistan is interested in the Ukrainian tank "Oplot"

79

This week, the Chief of Staff of the Pakistani Ground Forces, General Kamar Javed Bajwa, visited a military training ground in the Kharkiv region of Ukraine and witnessed field trials of various combat vehicles and systems. He showed great interest in modern Ukrainian weapons systems.

This is reported by the Defense Blog magazine.



The press said that Pakistan is showing interest in the Ukrainian tank "Oplot" and the anti-tank system "Skif", which is an export modification of the "Stugna" missile system.

Pakistan is interested in expanding defense cooperation with Ukraine through technology transfer and joint ventures in the future, as both sides can benefit from each other's experiences.

- said Bajwa.

Kiev and Islamabad agreed to further optimize defense cooperation, especially in the field of military production, training, intelligence and the fight against terrorism. Ukrainian dignitaries praised Pakistan's sincere efforts to establish peace and stability in the region and reaffirmed Ukraine's desire to expand bilateral cooperation. They assume that Islamabad can buy the T-84BM "Oplot" and ATGM "Skif" tanks.

At the moment, Thailand is the only operator of Oplot tanks outside of Ukraine. At the same time, Thailand several times threatened to terminate the contract with the Ukrainian manufacturer, as it did not meet the terms of delivery under the contract.

T-84BM "Oplot" - a tank with a combat weight of 51 tons. Crew - three people. The tank gun has a caliber of 125 mm.

      It would be surprising if he said "... well, these tanks of yours ..." What could he say then? Showed a courteous interest, otherwise he does not know about Thailand. :))

        And to the state of the industry of Ukraine, hardly capable of fulfilling any significant contract, Pakistan did not show?
        It’s somehow hard to believe that in Islamabad they don’t know who they have to deal with.

        The news is more of a category -
        Why, without fear of sin,

        In principle, the phrase: "and that over there ... is there under the canopy?" may well be interpreted as a manifestation of heightened interest.

          Today, yes. But at one time, the packs were bought from the Sumerians (then still Ukrainians) a good batch of T-80s. It's time to change or upgrade the existing ones. Putting a diesel engine on the T-80 and updating the avionics + an updated protection system looks attractive. But ... Krajina-U is not the same.
          At the same time, there is another example of the modernization of the T-80 - in Russia. And Russia would not be against such an order, but ... India ... There are very serious arms contracts with India, and India is categorically against such a multi-vector nature of Russia ... Here they are maneuvering (so that they are already jealous in Russia) ... but the Sumerians. .. the Sumerians dream.

        The Banderotankists themselves do not speak very well about the "stronghold", so most likely no one will buy them. Yes, there are already no hulls left for rework. But the ATGM, in terms of price-quality ratio, is not the worst. Subject to technology transfer, they will be suitable for Pakistan.

          When hit by a projectile, tanks from Vnaokraina always crack at the seams. This has been noticed a long time ago and many times. And the tanks of the USSR period are no exception.
          There have been several articles on this topic.
          So a tank from the outskirts is often disposable, then it cannot be pulled down or folded down.

        At least they thought a little, now is not the 80s, Pakistan is not only not friends with the United States, but is directly in opposition, is friends with China, a little less with Russia, and certainly the State Department is not a decree to them

      Well, these are not even intentions, but rumors. Pakistan with Imran Khan makes various lobby-oriented purchases, so suitcases with arguments in favor of a contract can solve the issue there.

      However, on the other hand, Pakistan has already chosen a new generation MBT (for Pakistan), signed a contract with Norinko, receives technologies for the subsequent release of components and assemblies (the license option has already been signed). A firm contract for 180 tanks and another 120 in option with production in Pakistan.




      On the other hand, Pakistan at its factories is carrying out a phased modernization of national Al-Khalid tanks on a large scale with significant use of Ukrainian (missiles, engines, elements of the FCS) and Chinese (electronics, TPV) components.

      However, it is generally stupid to put another type of tank. They will have the most modern and powerful VT4 (and they have already paid for this, and the tanks are being shipped), their Al-Khalid will be massive, and the old people Al-Zarar (the fruit of decades of violence against the T-54 - already up to a normal engine, cannon, FCS and etc.) to crush the Taliban as a means of strengthening their positions. Taking into account the fact that the T-80UD almost do not participate in parades, exercises, exacerbations, they are either very much cherished (but what's the use of the technology with which dust particles are blown off?) Or they have already died for the most part.

    Kiev and Islamabad agreed to further optimize defense cooperation, especially in the field of military production, ...

    China was the largest buyer of Ukrainian weapons. Vosnomnom - engines for tanks. But after the "kidalovo" of the Chinese on the sale of "Yuzhmash",
    China has understood who it is dealing with and is demanding to return 3 billion to it.
    Now Pakistanis have pecked at Ukrainian "bacon"? The chicken is in the nest, and the Ukrainian authorities are already announcing it, for domestic consumption, as their success in the international arms trade.

      So the packs have already bought 300 VT-4 (180 in China or whatever, and the rest in Pakistan from Chinese kits).



      In general, VT4 is so laughing, laughing, becoming a serious player in the market. In total, 500+ have been contracted and there are still quite a few interested / pre-contracts / impressions. Plus, in 2021, the tanks went into a real battle against BokoHaram. And so far they have not lost a single one (but the Ukrainian T-72s have already lost two pieces in battles). It is clear that it is not an indicator, but a tick - it participates in battles, you can already put it on the booklet.

    Pakistan is interested in expanding defense cooperation with Ukraine through technology transfer and joint ventures in the future, as both sides can benefit from each other's experiences.

    It seems to me that behind the demarche of the Pakistani general, there is a more ambitious goal! For Pakistan, the transfer of some Ukrainian technologies in the field of armored vehicles is indeed of interest. Despite the fact that the Pakistanis have a fairly close cooperation with China, they are trying to develop their national defense industry, and accordingly, they will try to acquire everything that is useful for them.
    But! I suspect that Pakistan is also paving the way for the promotion of its JF-17 fighter in Ukraine!

    The car is simple, while the price is pristine for countries with a limited budget! Ukraine is looking for opportunities to update its aircraft fleet, Western models are expensive, not affordable. True, there is a problem with Ross. RD-93 engines sitting on the JF-17 Thunder, but the packs may well find an alternative solution. In short, some form of barter between Ukraine and Pakistan is possible. hi

    Well, let's put it this way. Pakistan operates 315-320 modernized T-80uds.
    The Pakistanis have no comments on them.
    At the same time, Kharkiv provides support for the repair and supply of spare parts.
    The bulwark is in fact a well-known modernization of the same Birch.
    So there are options as with a new contract for the supply of new tanks. So it is in terms of modernizing Pakistani to the level of a stronghold.

      None of this will happen. No modernization, no supply of new equipment. The fact that the Pakistani saw the tank and said that he liked it was out of politeness. Ukraine is now unable to pull any serious contract for the supply of new equipment.

    The press said that Pakistan is interested in the Ukrainian tank "Oplot"
    And in what press does this write?
    In addition to the aforementioned VT-4, the Ukrainian "Oplot-M" also took part in the announced tender. The Kharkov product was thrown by plane for testing. After their completion, a number of Ukrainian sources even hastened to announce victory over the equipment of the NORINCO corporation.
    But, as it turned out later, it was too early to rejoice, the car revealed many design flaws. They were also found from a Chinese competitor, but judging by the further development of events, the Chinese were able to quickly eliminate them.
    what else does the press give out? ...
    ... You can recall the rather shameful story with the supply of "Oplots" to Thailand, the "odyssey" with the BTR-4 in Iraq. Therefore, the recent attacks of the Ukrainian media on the Russian T-90s are understandable, they were made out of despair. Ukraine has lost the possibility of mass production of new equipment, factories are only capable of repairing and somehow improving the Soviet legacy ...
    And this is in general from the series - hold a watermelon !!! laughing
    VT-4s are not the only tanks acquired by Pakistan. So, from Serbia this month received modernized T-55.

    Quite an ordinary event. The history of FTC between Pakistan and Ukraine has a long history, this is the supply of T-80UD, and the supply of tank diesel engines, service maintenance of both tanks and diesel engines, and aircraft engines. Let me remind those who have forgotten that all TV-Z of our Mi-8 and Mi-17, Mi-24 and Mi-35 helicopters are serviced by Ukrainians.
    Pakistan is considering the purchase or development of the L-15 UBS for its Air Force. This supersonic UBS developed by the Chinese with the support of our Yakovlev design bureau and based on the Yak-130, like the original version of the Yak-130, is equipped with an AI-222, but with an afterburner.
    In Ukraine, there are still and continue to develop enterprises in the field of location, missile weapons systems, etc., Pakistan may be interested in a lot, as well as Turkey, with which Pakistan has become very close in recent decades and has common programs.

    It is wrong to say that Pakistan will automatically buy everything from China, Pakistan is diversifying its arms suppliers in every possible way and is doing on the localization of the production of basic systems.

      This could have been until 2014, and I deeply doubt it. The engine was developed by the Klimov Design Bureau from St. Petersburg, so we have both the opportunity and the full right to independently service the engines.
