Al - Haider VT-4 MBT - The Premier PA Ground Asset [Developments]

[prothought]

That's correct. Oplot was tested but follow up copies with improvements/tests never happened as expected/planned.
keeping in mind Ukraine condition, we did dodge a bullet minus the engine TOT which would have been a great help

I think @Lion has mentioned it multiple times in the past that even the TU80/AK/Oplot engine sucks when it comes to torque conversion.

Just mentioning that VT-4 engine reportedly proved to be much more powerful in those trials (especially up the hill maneuvers where both Oplot and AK failed). Please correct me if I am mistaken.

If anything, I think, Pakistan should strive for ToT for that Chinese engine .
