TANK HAIDER
Tank Haider is a 3rd Generation Plus battle tank developed in collaboration with NORINCO China and Pakistan’s local industries, integrating advanced technologies for superior battlefield performance. It features a 1200 HP engine, automatic transmission, and digital navigation for high maneuverability across all terrains. With long-range precision engagement, hunter-killer capability, and an advanced Fire Control System (FCS) and Gun Control System (GCS), it ensures greater lethality. Its digitized architecture enhances real-time battlefield awareness, secure connectivity for Combined Arms Operations, and modular adaptability. Survivability is reinforced with a low heat signature, Explosive Reactive Armour (ERA), and protection against fire, explosives, and NBC threats. Designed with cutting-edge engineering and quality control, it offers high reliability, while maximized local production reduces foreign dependence, making it a cost-effective and self-reliant defense asset, showcasing Pakistan’s commitment to indigenous military production.
