New export light tank of China

China has created a new export light tank, which may be presented at the Zhuhai exhibition under the designation VT5, reports Messenger of Mordovia with reference to the blog of military expert Yuri Lyamin.

“The export vehicle resembles at the same time simultaneously reduced Chinese main combat Tanks Type 96A and VT-4 and the previously mentioned so-called "mountain tank". Apparently repeating itself story with a medium tank Type 59, on the basis of which the lightweight Type 62 was made. Outwardly very similar, but with weaker armor and a less powerful gun, ”the author writes.

Apparently, he notes, the tank is armed with a 105-mm cannon. The machine has a modern fire control system, incl. and a panoramic sight with a night vision channel.

“It is noteworthy that significant measures have been taken to protect vulnerable zones - the lower frontal part of the hull and side are reinforced with dynamic protection. In the feed projections are mounted lattice protivokumulyativnye screens, “- said in a publication.

The countries of Asia and Africa, which traditionally buy Chinese weapons, may be interested in this development.

Maybe they will sell it to someone. And so, in principle, it is not impressive.

[Bloodsucker]

And what is needed to impress?
LT is LT, what do you demand from him-security as a heavy? The power of a weapon like MBT?
This tank has its own scope and its own theater, if we already understand the issue.
the Americans created a new LT - do they depict the same principle of impression, or do they create it for some needs?

[svp67]

With their ability to reduce the cost, I won’t be surprised at anything.
By the way, Ukraine does not want to buy? Your Soviet stocks seem to have been depleted, but here you can buy LOTS for small pennies ...

Hmm ... Different tanks are needed, different tanks are important ... Maybe some Botswana will do ...

If you can’t buy a kilogram, then buy a pound.

The first question at the exhibition will be: "And how do you like on this tank with the front rollers attached?"

Why laugh then. The first T-72 had the same problems, but now it is the most massive and reliable tank.

That's exactly what at the first.
And the Chinese put up a modification of Type 96 for biathlon, which has been produced since 1997 - almost 20 years (at least they said that it was just a modification of a production car).

[Bloodsucker]

Well, it’s not a fact that NORINCO’s engineers did not take this failure into account without recounting it according to new calculations and introducing an amendment to the design

Still, there is benefit from Biathlon. At least for the Chinese.

And as far as the fakaps are concerned, the Kuwait drift-overkill will not be surpassed by anyone anyway.

Yeah ... let's say that. South Korea produces the best GERMAN tanks. Although, something tells me that the Germans do it better.

More Challengers are not bad tanks ...

Why not the Abrams?

[Alex777]

The Chinese made a toy tank?
Such competitors need to be offered.
As a result, no money, no tanks.

[maxim1987]

China offers an assortment of goods

[svp67]

Yes, well done Chinese, it’s necessary to reforge SO T-55 ... Cool.
Although it will do for the poor, it will go to Africa to replace the old Chinese T-59s ...

[padded jacket]

Iranian Zulfikar-3 is also somewhat similar to Abrams. Did the Chinese take part in its design?

[Banishing liberoids]

Why do the Chinese themselves look alike, and from the tanks look like non-Chinese tanks?

[uskrabut]

Everything is in the car industry!
- Why is it like a European?
- Sleep your wife!

[Alex 2016]

Well, another tank from China. Work out and run in stolen technology. Well done. Still, the quality and reliability of technology would be raised.

[kolkulon]

Beautiful machine. That would be more detailed.

[Lanista]

The Chinese created Stingray. Progressing ...

There was also a sense of deja vu and a vision of the reincarnation of the T-55.
