Pakistan is currently undertaking test trials of the next generation VT-4 Main Battle Tank prototype, developed by the Chinese military industrial giant NORINCO.
Should this state of the art MBT meet Pakistan Army's stringent evaluation standards, it will replace Pakistan's old T-59, T-69, T-85IIAP and T-85III Main Battle Tanks. Its worth noting that, this MBT is not a replacement for Al-Khalid series which is a heavier MBT and will continue its production.
Industrial experts are also speculating that if VT-4 prototype is acquired by the Pakistan Army, it will be bought under a Transfer of Technology Agreement (TTA) resulting in its production inside Pakistan..
