    I think the palestinians have just copied the Pakistani al-Khalid. I mean, they even gave it a similar name for gods sake!

    Can't they come up with their own name?

    Its a translation of a Chinese article done through some net based translator, that's why the English is so poorly written & Pakistan has been changed to Palestine & AL Khalid to something else.

    Anyhow we got what the article wanted to tell.

    Guys, that article is just a copy of this Usman Ansari article that was published a few months back:
    Pakistan Pushes Armor Upgrades - Defense News
    ...
    Another improvement is inclusion of a third-generation thermal imager from the French company Sagem.
    ...one visible modification is what HIT officials describe as the Active Threat Protection System. This is the Ukrainian "Varta'' electro-optical jammer...
    ...The Al-Khalid is also now fully air conditioned to resist summer temperatures in the southern deserts that can soar past 50 degrees Celsius (122 degrees Fahrenheit). ...
    ...the modular armor package is likely to be upgraded and the turret may feature a wedge shape, similar to that of the latest versions of the Chinese ZTZ-99/Type-99. Sensors and available ammunition types also are likely to be improved and the power-pack up-rated to a 1,500 horsepower unit, he added.

    I wonder if the engine will be from Ukraine (6TD3) or German (MTU).

    Most probably the Ukrainian one, as it will be less costly, already PA is using the 6TD-2 version in T-80UD so ease of operations & getting familiarity with the technology, most importantly less prone to sanctions which would be high in case of a German engine.

    But it all depends how it performs in the hot & dusty conditions of Pakistan.

    I am hearing German. Ukrainian isn't powerful enough for the next generation MBTs.

    Not heard which one though.
