Pakistan gets tank parts from Ukraine
WASHINGTON: Pakistan has
started receiving from a Ukrainian company components for
its Al-Khalid Main Battle Tanks (MBT) being assembled in
the country.
Malyshev plant, based in
Kharkov in Ukraine, has begun shipping sets of engines
and transmissions to Pakistan for the tanks, a Defense
News report from Moscow said quoting a Ukrainian industry
official. The plant has already assembled and shipped 15
sets to industrial complex at Taxila, which is
integrating Pakistan`s indigenous Main Battle Tank,
according to Mikhail Borisyuk, general designer at the
Morozov machine building design bureau, which is a
partner of Malyshev in the project.
Some 320 T-84 tanks have
been manufactured by the Malyshev plant and shipped to
Pakistan, Borisyuk said and added that Ukraine has
offered to provide anti-aircraft guns also.
He said one way to
expand this cooperation would be to further adapt
Al-Khalid tank, which Pakistan is jointly developing with
China for operations in hot and dusty environments. He
said it will cost Pakistan "a lot of money and
effort" to integrate Ukrainian engine and
transmission sets with components developed by Chinese
defence companies.

Case filed in US court against PTV MD
ISLAMABAD, Oct 20: The Norway-based Scandinavian Satellite System (SSS) has filed a case in a US court against PTV Managing Director Yousaf Baig, and London-based Prime TV for infringing a copyright agreement,
it was learnt on Friday.
The company accused the PTV MD of working against the interests of Pakistan. It claimed that it held the exclusive license for PTV programmes outside Pakistan because of PTV's Licence Agreement with "Sports Star International" (SSI).
SSS has maintained that SSI, in which PTV Managing Director Yousaf Baig Mirza is believed to hold an interest, was granted exclusive licence by the PTV.
It said that since SSS is a copyright owner of PTV programming, the importation of PTV programming and distributing directly into USA by another company named Prime TV was infringing on the exclusive rights if the plaintiff company.
The plaintiff has requested the court to stop Prime TV from airing the programmes, declare the SSS as the owner of the copyright of PTV programming as per the contract, and award damages including lawyers's fees.
