What night fighting capability ???
The Pakistani Pattons back in 1965 had no infrared periscopes for the gunner and the commander (infrared periscope for driver appeared on late-production
M48 and I'm am not even sure the Pakistanis had this feature back in 1965).
The infrared searchlight (or Xenon white light) above the 90mm appeared on the
M48A3, so the Pakistanis didn't have it back in 1965.
