Re: MBT's
Thank You.
I've stated it many times and the body of work represents I feel, a " world view" of the game.
The Pakistani and Indian situation represents one of the top three flashpoints in the world. Also it represents the one with the greatest risk of potentially going nuclear.
Pakistan is looking into a multi-national tank deal with the
Ukraine for the OPLOT-P (Improved OPLOT-M version.), China for the VT-4 and Turkey for the ALTAY.
For themselves from a source (Global Security)...
"The Al Khalid tank is based on the Chinese Norinco Type-90-II Main Battle Tank (MBT). This is a Pakistani built tank, all of it except its engine is made in Pakistan. The engine is a Ukrainian one."
They've had strong ties with China and the Ukraine for a very long time.
Regards,
Pat
