APC-Talha is an armoured personnel carrier designed and manufactured by the Pakistanian Heavy Industries Taxila (HIT) using Ukrainian made engines. The vehicle is a modernised American M113-A2-Mk1.[1]

There are several provisions for firing ports and periscopes. The army of Pakistan plans to deploy 2,000 of these by year 2010.

Iraqi Interest

In November 2004 an Iraqi defense delegation paid a visit to Pakistan and showed interest in the vehicle and ordered 44 of them.[2]
