Ukraine's state-owned defence industrial group, UkrOboronProm, has highlighted expanding opportunities in Pakistan, including a new project between the countries to develop and produce missile systems.
In a series of recently published press releases, UkrOboronProm said the opportunities - across air, sea, and land domains - were the subject of meetings between the group and Pakistani military leaders at the IDEAS 2018 international defence exhibition, held in Karachi, Pakistan, during 27-30 November.
UkrOboronProm said Pakistan is interested in co-operating in areas such as armoured vehicles and precision weapons, and in supporting the maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) of Pakistan's military transport aircraft and helicopters. UkrOboronProm said Pakistan wanted to "conduct tests" of various Ukrainian weapons and military equipment as part of its procurement processes.
The industry group said it also discussed with counterparts from Pakistan the "terms and conditions [to support] the start of joint Ukraine-Pakistan production of high-precision missiles of various classes".
UkrOboronProm said the two sides had "confirmed their readiness to start joint research and development work in the coming months". UkrOboronProm did not identify the weapon but in recent years the countries have been discussing collaboration on high-precision anti-tank missile systems developed by the Luch Design Bureau in Kiev.
UkrOboronProm said they also discussed prospects for collaboration on the production of the Al Khalid-Improved (I) main battle tank (MBT), which has been developed by Pakistan's Heavy Industries Taxila (HIT) as a follow-on to the baseline Al-Khalid MBT, and the provision of MRO and modernisation support for the Pakistan Army's Soviet-era T-80UD MBTs.
The Pakistan Army operates more than 300 T-80UD tanks, which were produced by the Ukrainian Malyshev Plant and were delivered to the Pakistan Army in the late 1990s.
