Personally, I think. The reason why GAIJIN keeps adding Soviet tanks to the Chinese tree is that there are too many Soviet cars, so they are put on the Chinese tree.
Oplot is not a soviet tank
Soviet union died on 1991
the Oplot was born in 2009.
yeah i much prefer to have the Oplot-P because i dont want a copy paste tank from thailand with a pakistani flag.
Can we try adding it? AH1Z.

Do you know more information about this A7 attack aircraft?

kinda,
The Americans wanted to sell us around 110 A-7H models when the russian invasion of Afghanistan was underway. This was apparently a carrot to dispel Pakistani plans to acquire aircraft that were nuclear-capable (to carry nukes). But Pakistan rejected the offer after trials, as the aircraft was simply not what we needed.
They offered to give us F-5Gs and F-16 J-79s, but we eventually went with the standard Block 20 or something with MLUs later on.
Other sources claim that instead of Pakistan, it was Kissinger or his administration that eventually blocked the deal from going through (despite offering it in the first place) after realising PAF plans to acquire a nuclear-capable aircraft. However, I’m not sure if the A-7 was nuclear-capable.
