- Ukraine will deliver 110 tank power plants – engines and related
parts – to Pakistan under a $50 million contract, state-run arms
exporter Ukrspetsstroi said on Monday.
The power plants will be manufactured at the Kharkov-based Malyshev
Plant, a state-run enterprise specializing in armored vehicles and their
components, under a four-year contract that was signed “several days
ago,” Ukrspetsstroi said in a statement on its website.
It did not provide any technical specifications.
Ukraine previously delivered more than 300 power plants to Pakistan for its al-Khalid main battle tank, Ukrspetsstroi's acting deputy general director Vadim Kozhevnikov said, adding that Ukraine also supplies tank engines to China.
The statement cited Kozhevnikov as saying he believed Ukraine is in a good position to compete with the world’s leading tank power plant manufacturers, in particular Germany.
“We are direct competitors of German engine manufacturers. Our models are every bit as good as theirs in terms of technical characteristics but are significantly cheaper,” Kozhevnikov said.
