In China, Type 99 called tanks that cannot be stopped

Exercises completed in China tank units, during which the main battle tanks of the PLA Type99 were involved with 125-mm ZPT-98 cannons.

The command of the tank crews was tasked with advancing into the open steppe terrain in the format of a quick jerk. To do this, tanks and army cars overcame the pass and ended up on a mountain plateau, where subsequently the entire complex of exercises developed.

In the plots of the channels of the PRC, traditionally, there were enthusiastic remarks addressed to the Chinese MBT. In one of the stories, Type 99 were called tanks, "which cannot be stopped." Explaining his words, the correspondent told viewers that the tank has powerful frontal armor of the hull, capable of withstanding the hit of armor-piercing feathered sub-caliber shells (BOPS), as well as the frontal armor of the tower, withstanding the impact of cumulative ammunition. “But these ammunition is unlikely to reach the goal, since the Type99 tank’s active defense will work.”

Even more eloquent about the tank was shown by users of Chinese military resources, saying that the Type 99 is "the best tank in the universe."

At the same time, no one in the Chinese media mentioned that Type 99 is another development of the concept of the still Soviet T-72. Of course, the Chinese tank received a considerable percentage of modern elements, but there are a lot of borrowings in the tank. Suffice it to say that the mentioned ZPT-98 gun is an unlicensed copy of the D-81TM smooth-bore tank gun (2A46), developed at the time in the Urals (OKB-9, Sverdlovsk).

During the maneuvers, the PLA tankers fired on various types of targets. One of the technical elements is shooting on the move. Another is the fire support of a tank breakout.

Now the Chinese are the undisputed leaders in the number of times the phrase "unparalleled in the world" is said, forgetting to add the phrase "in the Chinese world"!

I remembered the carefree childhood. When, after our next visit to the video salon, we were arguing hoarsely with the guys who was cooler than Bruce or Arnold.)))

You just don’t read the American press.
And we and the Chinese are just children in this regard.

You will recall at least the American presidents, both black and white, who say that Americans are an exceptional nation. Best of all and blah blah blah.

And all of them have the best and unparalleled super-duper and mega-golden-wow.

[Basarev]

The US can, the superpower has the right to quirks. But we should be impeccable and as modest as possible.

[Mestny]

We are also a superpower.
Although for fighters with the regime, this revelation on the brink of an explosion knows what.

[Basarev]

Not a superpower is a country in which tens of millions still live in barracks. Not a superpower is a country where money is only in the capital. Not a superpower is a country that uses generics. And not a superpower is a country where German trophy machines are still in use.

Are you talking about the former Ukraine now?
Calmer, calmer. No need to scream, this is not a rally.
In the USA (superpower), the mass of people lives simply on the street.

I think that all these Chinese eulogies about their military equipment are designed and aimed at domestic consumption. And from the outside, and so it is understandable, and all these victories, which have not been confirmed by anything, provoke a backlash, doubt and skepticism among foreigners.
But the fact that everyone in the world began to pay attention to what the PRC writes in the media is already, however, a trend.

[Amateur]

It is immediately clear that in China there is no "Rain" or "Echo M .."
Therefore, there is no one "directly and honestly" to declare that with these teachings the PRC demonstrates the possibility of capturing the universe

Remember how the Stalingrad Tractor continued to work during the Battle of Stalingrad.
Ordinary people worked and produced tanks under bullets and shells.
Children, women worked.

And here you are crying that you cannot.

You can tap on the keyboard with your fingers. The Chinese are great, but you can’t. Well, a penny to you.

Unlike you, there are millions of people in the country who work and produce tanks and planes and pasta pans.

The USSR did not just take the brunt, but crushed Europe alone. But when, after the Battle of Kursk, it became clear to everyone in the world that Hitler was Khan, then the "coalition" began to move at least a little.

Well it's written right there:

The "sucks" of the 99 tank specifically lies in the absence of "Rain" and "Echo M .."

And they’re not bringing the 99th. Only the 96th, specially lightened with a forced engine. And specially trained crews. And still do not win? Maybe just Faberge interfere? So in China, eunuchs were held in high esteem

Type 99 - "the best tank in the universe."

Is that - in parallel.

[Reserve buildbat]

"Tank that cannot be stopped" ...
Apparently, now the 99 type is available without a brake system and gearbox. Started and roll while there is a solarium If you don’t break torsion bars, as in biathlon

[Nikolaevich I]

In one of the stories, Type 99 were called tanks, "which cannot be stopped." I believe! They stop themselves ... of their own accord, regardless of the will of the Chinese tank crews or the enemy! T-96 at tank biathlon "hinted" at this ...

[Nikolaevich I]

Chinese tanks at biathlon ...

[Kuroneko]

Quote: Nikolaevich I

T-96 at tank biathlon "hinted" at this ...

Well, here the Chinese simply outwitted themselves, because their Type 96A was specially "tuned" for biathlon - it was extremely lightweight to achieve a higher power density, at the expense of strength (well, the engine was forced, emnip). They just made a sports car out of a combat vehicle purely for records. Here is the suspension and grunted indignantly, spitting out the roller. Stupidly exceeding the maximum operating load.
But such a tank-"Ferrari" is exactly what a single specialized vehicle. This will not happen with regular Type 96s. Taking its origins from the Soviet tank design school, the Chinese school also pays great attention, first of all, to the reliability of tank components, albeit to the detriment of, say, ergonomics.

[Vitaly Tsymbal]

I am glad for our Chinese comrades !!! Just why the author did not mention the Chinese tankmen, who are "shock workers of communist labor" and "foremost workers of socialist competition"))) If it were not for the leading and guiding role of the Chinese Communist Party, then the tankers would have got lost during the march, and the tanks would have broken down without leaving boxes ... Reading materials on VO about China, it seems that the author got a part-time advertising manager in the Chinese military-industrial complex))) Only an "advertiser" can so beautifully ride over the ears, citing as an example the usual exercises that are held in all armies, well, at least the least where there are tanks ... And of course the link to the "sofa experts" just "smiles" !!! It's a pity there is no information on the problems that are not only among tankers (not to be confused with a review of the performance characteristics) of China, but also in other armies in a specific theater of operations.

".... impossible to stop ...." - in the sense - not to turn off the engine until the fuel runs out?
This is apparently some kind of secret tactics of the Chinese tank formations - to go to the last drop of KARASIN?

And what - should not?
For some reason, Internet experts violently demand exactly this from our media. The slightest inaccuracy in the description of our technology makes them hysterical, turning into a traditional nagging about bad power.

In a separate Chinese universe, perhaps the tank is really the best that they can)) ... it’s clear that all this is advertising and raising the morale and self-awareness of the Chinese)) ... would not go too far in its exclusivity ... this happened in history ..

And this will never be a zerg rush, their weapons are not so bad, there is no superiority over their heads over their weapons, which means they can take in quantity.

[Retvizan 8]

No one doubts that in recent years the Chinese have significantly progressed technically, but their tank is unlikely to be unkillable, given modern means of destruction.
Once upon a time, for example, the Germans also considered their battleship Bismarck to be a super ship, but they sunk it pretty quickly.
Well, in general, wait and see.

It is enough to say that the mentioned ZPT-98 gun is an unlicensed copy of the D-81TM (2A46) smooth-bore tank gun, developed at one time in the Urals (OKB-9, Sverdlovsk).

My applause to the Chinese. Why - guess?

Attachments from the commanders-in-chief of tank armies from the Moon, Mars and Saturn were attached to the message.
