Experts in China said that the T-90C is inferior to the Chinese tanks VT4 and VT5
In total, the contract involves the delivery of 64 combat vehicles of this type to Hanoi. In Chinese media, it is stated that the first batch (including 32 units) has already been delivered to Vietnam from the Russian Federation. It is noted that for the transportation of armored vehicles from the port were used wheeled tractors KZKT-7428.
In the Chinese media, military experts have stated that with the acquisition of Russian T-90, the Vietnamese army will receive additional armored equipment, but "this will not give an advantage over the latest Chinese tanks." In particular, it is stated that the T-90С acquired in Russia for the Vietnamese troops "are in many ways inferior" to the Chinese tank Type 15. This is a tank that was previously demonstrated at military-technical exhibitions under the export nomenclature VT5. Also known as ZTQ-15.
From the statements of the Chinese military expert in the Chinese media:
The following are judgments about comparing the T-90 and VT4 (MBT-3000) tanks. VT4 - is the Chinese main battle tank, which is in service not only the PLA, but also the Thai army. VT4 has an 125-mm gun, capable of firing not only projectiles, but also guided missiles at a distance of up to 5 km.
From the statement of the Chinese military experts:
In general, all these statements boil down to praising Chinese tanks and calling on the countries of Southeast and South Asia (including Bangladesh and Myanmar) to buy armored vehicles made exclusively in China.
