Circula Trubia Blog is reporting that the Chinese are about to introduce a new tank. They speculate that its a light tank but I can't tell by the images and there isn't much in the background to give a decent size perspective (I don't know the various sizes of Chinese structures or I'd give it a better guess-estimate). What I do know is that it has certain "Western" design features and the lead that the allies once had when it comes to heavy armor seems to be eroding.
That looks pretty light to me. Not very far off the ground and the treads don't look very big. Wide and squat.
ReplyDeleteI might be wrong but I'm pretty sure that's the MBT3000 which is their new MBT at 52 tons with a 125mm. I believe it's an upgraded version of MBT2000 which is also known as the Al Khalid as used by Pakistan which itself evolved from the Type 90II. Both models use a Ukrainian engine although the MBT3000 has more hp.
