As of now the concentration is on Al Khalid 1 which is a radically improved variant of the original Al Khalid. Al Khalid 2 will be in a different (heavy) category comprising a 1500 hp engine, third generation thermal imager, new fire control system based on a new and more powerful ballistic computer, new laser range finders, new autoloader supporting Long Rod shells, fully automatic transmission with new suspension for hull down-turret down support (similar to k-2 black panther). R&D is at an early stage but it will benefit from Turk Altay and Chinese Type 99 a2 technology and will also feature heavy armor.

[Dazzler]

Regarding the Long Rod Shells, Pakistan made contracts with French Nexter and South Korean Poongsan to establish them locally. Even Al Khalid 1 will be capable to support it hence the improvement was made in the autoloader.

Well there is no confirm cost of AK, but rough analysis says that 3 to 4 AK come in the price of a single Abram tank, which is around 4.5M$ to 5.0M$, if am not correct. So AK would be roughly 1.0M$ to 1.5M$.

The current Al Khalid 1 standard as offered to KSA with all sorts of up gradations and gadgets coupled with 120 mm smooth bore cannon ranges around $2.5 to $2.8 million per tank. Very competitive price if you ask me as compared to other options with similar capability.
