if Haider and vt4 same why they displayed as two different platforms ? or is it VT4P is imported from china and Haider is VT4p produced in Pakistan

You answered your own question basically. The Haider is just a VT4 produced in Pakistan. The VT-4 Pakistan got from China was already modified and upgraded to Pakistans specifications and also had some local parts, but with Haider, there’s significantly more local assembly, a few more local parts, and a bunch of future indigenization planned.

Yes consider the repetition of Type-90-II which is the base of Al-Khalid tank.
VT-4 is the origin point of Haider tank program tank manufactured in HIT with the help of China, you can say a localized VT-4 is Haider tank

Original 570 Units order for VT-4 import was curtailed.
ToT with NORINCO results in Local assembly + Sub systems including Radios, IBMS, Drivers night sight, Gun Barrel, 125mm Smoothbore Gun for Haider MBT.
Capability to manufacture Turret & Hull is already available with HIT..

The problem is not the capability but the problem is capacity.
HIT will take take a decade plus to manufacture 500 tanks
Don't know if PA can wait that long

Given Pakistan current economic condition, the rate of procurement will actually match the rate at which Pakistan can afford to pay for these tanks. At least, there will be less pressure on FX reserves with more of the components being made inhouse in Pakistan, both in procurement costs, but also lifecycle costs over the lifespan of this tank.

The Alkhalid has Ukrainian engine, while Haider has a Chinese engine. There was a lot of RD done on the Khalid in Pakistan The Haider is off the shelf
