Bobby was dg ispr n his parent unit was the first regt. Equipped......so it has to be around the end of his first stint or start of his second tenure.
 
PLA's 4th gen MBT is already here.

Haider is just a localized vt-4 with some tweaks to turret, front hull and tracks, armor, gun, and ammo. Parts HIT quickly produced thanks to things they learned with AK series. Chinese aren't comfortable with license production and rightly so. It's their hot selling product why would they or anyone hand over critical info on that?
However, during AK development, they withheld critical drawings and blueprints of components repeatedly. We had to procure prototyping equipment like Fero Arm for quick prototyping and carve fresh blueprints of components. They play hardball and so do we whenever possible. Vt-4 is Norincos IPR however times we label it as local. It's funny actually.
We do fabricate quality turrets these days though, case in point AZ turret.

No more investment on T80 UDs. Some already retired.

Nopes. T80UD have only been recently upgraded I think like 1~2 years ago. And ones being retired was totally from a batch of around 30 tanks that was slightly different in specs and delivered much earlier than rest of the tanks. Hence they were rather old as compared to rest of fleet.

1-2 years ago.

Depends upon the value T80 brings in Armored doctrine.
 
Tanks have been been , sitting ducks in recent Ukraine-Russia conflict
May be the age of Tanks is finished

3-4 Years to make a Tank and then they are destroyed by 1 missile from air

Not so if you make your tanks smarter and more lethal than the adversaries they face. The Turkish asymmetric solution via robotic means:
  • Make each tank a de facto generative AI machine. Moreover, convert each of them into a node in a neural network as they learn from each other via secured comms during a given ops. All for one, and one for all
  • Put radars, EW, EA etc. to have a fighting chance against the drones, loitering ammo etc. Additionally, put the in-sync capability to fire 30mm ATOM (programmable air fragmenting ammo) rounds from the autonomous heavy machine gun station to take down the above threats
  • As for ATGMs, put the hard kill capability to build a shield around the tank to destroy the incoming projectiles. Don't forget to have a 3D and 360 degrees coverage
  • Have in-situ armed micro drones with advanced optical and thermal imaging along with anti-jamming capabilities. A touch of AI would enable them to autonomously take out the imminent threats, especially the "bastards behind the rocks" sitting with ATGMs. Thus, you get an advanced situational awareness at a 20-50km range. For tactical ops it should suffice
  • No armored ops in formations should be allowed unless accompanied by KORKUT like tracked AD systems. And, not BEING covered by TB2 like armed to the teeth MALE drones
  • Etc.
