What's new

T-80 and T-84 Main Battle Tanks Information pool

Only for tanks (and apcs)? No arty?
Because last year I asked this about M109s.
M109 upgrades and rebuilds were mostly done at HIT because they had the capable factory for it. Maintenance is done mainly at 502 and likely some at Gujranwala.
 
No I am talking about completele overhaul not periodic mentinance, its akin to mlu.it can only happen at HIT.....the tanks taken apart completely to the last nut n bolt n then put together completely.....if HIT choses it can even make quite a few upgrades....
They have at ASRF
Improved 1g46 sights with new intensifiers
Upgraded 1a43 ballistic computer and associated sensors
Catherine fc integration is already well known.
Kba3s can all fire naiza and Chinese apfsds and HEAT rounds

Should start for SH-1 also.
 
SH-1 platform maintenance will likely be done at 502 workshop. The gun barrels are too new to need any maintenance for now but it should already be easily possible at HIT, they have the equipment.
The mobile workshops are an interesting concept with the manoeuvre formations. Maybe the ficus should change so local EME wksps can do it in the cantt, battery by battery.

Depends on what needs maintenance. Most of the common stuff can be done within the regiment or Cantonment itself by the EME regt responsible for maintenance, there is recently a somewhat increased focus on this.
At the EME college in Rawalpindi they have two separate Mechanical equipment training dept and electrical equipment training depts with one of each of the vehicles PA operates (or its corresponding electrical parts), they’re also used to train army techs that will form said mobile workshops.

If it’s a larger issue/repair they may be sent to the nearest major workshop like Gujranwala, Multan, Bahawalpur, Karachi etc. Plenty of artillery maintenance takes place at Gujranwala, Tanks at Bahawalpur. But for the newer equipment like SH-15 and VT-4 they might have to stick to 501/502/HIT until they can set up the necessary procedures to maintain these machines at other places (maybe they already have?). There’s currently a large amount of development and research work being done on the VT-4 of a certain nature, before we can entirely locally maintain it.

For further away regiments RWP is sort of a last resort and HIT is simply the army outsourcing it’s work for when it needs their advanced equipment, like gun barrel maintenance or electrical rebuilds/upgrades.

Its the experience from local wksps in cantts which can then be taken to the field wksps in the event of Exs or war.

With the Russian-Ukrainian war I doubt Pakistan will buy anymore military stuff Ukraine.

We should work with China. That is just better,

I think that's the case with any nation. Early on in the war, Ukraine was seen using a Stugna P meant for an Arab country against a Russian tank.
 
We should have bought the T-84 Oplot blueprints from Ukraine.

Now this Ukraine-Russian war will make that impossible.
Im not too sure that Ukraine would have been willing to sell their latest blueprints to Pakistan despite the relations. Also Ukraine could barely make 1 of those tanks. Do you think Pakistan would've faired better in manufacturing the tank?

On top of that, Pakistan not getting the Oplots could be a good thing. Remember, Allah is the best of planners.

Yes I agree with that Allah is the best of planners.
