Thanks for your response.gf0012 said:
The initial evaluation by the Saudis is complete and now some "sample" tanks have been sent to Saudi Arabia for more rigorous testing. Initial testing was done by Saudi Army inside Pakistan in desert conditions (reportedly near Bahawalpur). I think this tank would make a nice complement to the Saudi M1 Abrams.

Saudis could easily buy 500 Al-Khalid MBT to boost Pakistan arms industry, if it wish so to do, as funds are not a factor for the Saudis.shamayel said:

Kindly post a link for this information. Besides I wonder from where is Bangldesh going to get money to buy Tanks from Pakistan. In Bangladeshi forums I have read, that they have to ground their aircrafts also because of fuel expense and maintainance. :roll

Saudi Arabia is also trial testing al-khalids since its best for desert and hot climate conditions.

I think it is high time the Saudis should support and boost Pakistan arms industry by buying at least 500 Al-Khalid tanks.The Watcher said:

good point there. Its hight time Islamic countries started helping each other out technologically, financially and morally!
At the momment Pakistan is not in a position to export Al-Khalid as they have to meet their own requirements first and annual production is also not very high.I read somewhere(dont remember link) that turkey is interested in investing money in project and increase annual production as they also wana get this tank but after some more improvements.I think Saudia will also do the same after evaluation of this tank.

That's no new news because Bangladesh Army members visited Pakistan for increasing the relation b/w Pak and Bangladesh..Pak will sell them on cheap rates.
As far as I know Faisal, Bangladesh does not have a dime to fly their Airforce and you are talking about them buying AL-KHALID. Obviously Bangladesh has to be interested since it is a classic Fighting Machine, but I am not able to believe about the financial conditions of Bangladesh. Can you post any link even from Bangladeshi newspapers which may mention that government has allocated that much money or something of the type to show that Bangladesh is really going to buy it?Faisal_Masud said:That's no new news because Bangladesh Army members visited Pakistan for increasing the relation b/w Pak and Bangladesh..Pak will sell them on cheap rates.
