However, despite these new measures, the Type 99 tank. He has several fatal weaknesses that we still can't solve. First of all, the most critical defects are insufficient kinetic energy coefficient and insufficient life of 125mm gun body. In terms of armor protection, although China obtained the armor technology of "Armored Raft" in 1997, it also developed its own domestic "Armored Raft". However, after the field test in Pakistan Army Chariot Center, its actual capability did not satisfy our "surprise". In the development of depleted uranium armor, our army is obviously backward. Compared with the armor piercing 800 (poor oil) armor of M 1A2100 (poor oil). Type 99 tank is characterized by "all-football" and still lags far behind in its own basic armor defense.
In terms of operational intelligence effect, Type 99 tank is compared with several popular tanks at present. His effectiveness is not very outstanding. Gokler is a new type of main battle tank equipped by the French Army. His greatest feature is the excellent performance of the battlefield command system. However, the French army has always lacked "advanced armor", which is the characteristic of "thin face" of French tanks. M 1A2 tank is "all football", and the attack and defense measures are very good. Judging from the actual effect of the battlefield, the most advanced T72M 1 tank equipped by the Iraqi army at that time could almost hit the frontal armor of M 1A2 at a suitable distance of 1200m (during the day). But unfortunately, the roots can't shake him. On the contrary, at this distance, the opponent can overturn the T72 turret with the first counterattack. Or penetrate his former main armor. It's completely M 1A2 at night. T72M 1 There is no way to find the target at the distance of1200-1400m. Because the maximum distance of his night system is only 800-900 meters. So once M 1A2 is used at night, T72 can be used as a moving target.
Compared with the improved model of 99 tank, although we introduced the characteristics of T80U site. The field system has been strengthened. The distance is 1200- 1400 meters. If there is no moonlight at night or the moonlight is low, you can find it at the first time and attack it at the first time. However, the truth of "one foot and one battle" is known. M 1a 2 haha improved his night fighting system on the original basis. Yes1550m. In a combat environment, even a gap of 0.5mm may cause you to be eliminated by your opponent. Therefore. We still have a "fatal gap".

China 99 tank! Can destroy your "eyeball" Karl Soros (USA) Posted by: MK 800 2007/01/09 21:35 Source Forum: Oriental Military News Click: 1 1357 Let me say a few words.
Carl Soros (the latest batch of China analysts in the United States and the Asia analysis and evaluation consultant of the United States national defense): At present, the China People's Liberation Army has started to hunt and install T99 main battle tanks made in China in batches, and its capability has exceeded our imagination.
Karl Soros: China did not develop Type 99 tanks "based on Russian T90M" as suggested by Russian experts. China people want his next-generation main battle tank to be a completely independent product, while the Type 99 tank does not follow the consistent style of Russian tanks, and looks closer to a westernized product. Comparing with Leopard 2A6, we will clearly know that the turret armor of Type 99 China tank is designed in a forward-leaning way, which has been recognized as the best front turret defense in the world.
In its power system, China has begun to replace its earlier 1.500 high-power engine with 1.200. This will further improve its already high operational maneuverability. At present, according to the figures published by China's official media, its maximum highway speed is 80 kilometers per hour. The maximum journey is 600 kilometers. The maneuvering speed of cross-country combat is not less than 55 kilometers per hour. This mobility is not only the T90 of Russia, but also the most advanced M 1A2 main battle tank currently equipped by the US Army.
The fire control system is one of the greatest achievements of China people, which endows Type 99 with a new integrated hunting-fighter combat control system. What is even more surprising is that a laser overhead system is installed behind the turret of China 99 tank, which is very similar to the appearance of Russian-made "Guardian 1". But according to the official reports of China and the information we know at present, it is not. As early as the development of Type 90 armored vehicle in China, the second generation laser vision countermeasure system designed by ourselves was installed in one of the variant vehicles in China. His main function is to assist the main battle tank to destroy the opponent's optical aiming system by soft means in the theater, including infrared, ultraviolet and low light. Waiting system. So this is equivalent to China people giving Type 99 tanks a kind of "gouge out other people's eyes" terror ability. At present, his view on the maximum action distance is inconsistent with it. Officials in China claim that the working distance is 2000 meters. Reports from Russia say it is 2500 meters. However, in 2003, Cadillac Gage, the main equipment supplier of the US Army, tested Russian products and showed that it could work up to 3,500 meters under good weather conditions. It is the same distance from the main gun of Rheinmetall Germany. It can work up to 2800 meters in the complex climate above Grade 2. Same as the second generation LLL imaging system. So China people can walk in front of you and destroy your "eyeball" at the same distance as the main gun.
At present, among the most famous main battle tanks in the world, there are French Gockler and American Army's Trum. German leopard 2. Japan T90. Such as the main battle tank, its main combat means and observation measures, in good weather, the maximum distance of action, not more than 2200 meters. The night vision system of the US main battle tank M 1A2 is the largest1800m. China and Russians have the same terrible thinking. They think that destroying your opponent's eyes in advance and making you the "blind man" they want is killing you easily! This weapon can destroy the human retina system to the greatest extent. For light aiming system, low light level system and laser ranging system, it has 100% killing power. Once irradiated, the human retina can be completely penetrated within 10- 15 seconds. Causing permanent blindness. The light aiming system of the chariot will be completely damaged in 20-30 seconds. It can be said that it is the best weapon for manufacturing "disabled soldiers" in the future.
On the fire system, China's thinking is obviously much better than the Russians. Domestic 125mm sliding-bore tank gun is the main attack means of Type 99. Russians are used to installing a strange launching structure on tanks, that is, they can launch gun-launched missiles. However, the M70 verification vehicle developed by the US Army in 1970s fully illustrates the limitations of gun-launched missiles. At that time, the "rubber stick" missile used by the US Army was much better than the "dry stick" missile used by Russia now. However, it still can't meet the demand. The wisdom of China people is hard to evaluate. They almost integrated the advantages of both, and installed the Type 98 terminal-guided gun-launched kinetic energy projectile system for his Type 99 tank, which China called the terminal-guided projectile system. The guidance mode of this kind of shell is very different from that of gun-launched missiles, and it is similar to the 155mm "copperhead" shell still used by the US military. But the guidance method is different. It is based on the terminal inertial guidance and the injection hole around the warhead to implement terminal maneuver, and it does not need the tank to carry out irradiation tracking after launch.
China Type 99 tank, with a total combat weight of 5 1 ton, is the heaviest main battle tank of PLA at present. His armor defense adopts a three-layer armor composite defense structure, which is obviously the latest design concept of M 1A2HA "safety structure" currently adopted by the US Army. A bomb disposal engine room with a carriage was obviously installed at the back of the turret, which was the result of the "secondary effect inside the turret" of the Russian-made T72 tank equipped by the Iraqi army in the Gulf War. At present, China people claim to be 850mm frontal main armor. However, according to Pakistani military media reports,1000-150 mm is close to our military equipment M 1A2HA. Completely surpassed Russia's T90. The outermost layer is clad armor and the second layer is homogeneous steel armor. This kind of steel is a new type of C-grade steel plate developed by China people combined with German Rheinland metal refining technology, which has a high degree of carbon slag electrolysis. Toughness is much better than the steel used in China's main battle tanks before. The interior is an inn layer with Kevlar ceramic armor space. In the last part, there is another kind of "neutron-proof lining" that China people are used to using.
The biggest regret! China 99 tank adopts chassis system, which is the development type of T72 tank developed by China in the early days. However, compared with the T85M 1990 chassis developed in China in the mid-early 1980s and 1990s, it is very difficult. However, the bearing capacity and power suspension system have been greatly improved. The German Military Science and Technology media reported the T85II tank in detail at some time during the period of 88-9 1. Mainly because it is equipped with the power system of MTU company in Germany. The "Khalid 2000" main battle tank currently used and produced in Pakistan is actually an improved version of China's early T85IIM. China 90 tank is a hard species to praise. His shortcomings are too great. Therefore, Pakistan referred to the above two tanks during the period of shaping "Khalid". Finally, I cleverly avoided the misleading of China people! Chose the former. It seems that this time, China people once again seriously underestimated their research level and ability.
At present, China 99 tanks have started hunting ahead of schedule. According to the data currently known, he is equipped with at least the China People's Liberation Army 1-2 armored division. It will be used to replace 4,500 T55/59 tanks, 2,400 T69 tanks and 750 T79 tanks in China. At present, it is almost impossible for these tanks to play well in the current operational environment. It can only be the "target car" as an opponent. The latest news shows that the T2000 main battle tank secretly developed by China people in northwest China is likely to be equipped with 135mm or 140mm 1 gun. 00-0 1 Two explosions were reported in the early stage. The main reason is that the refining technology of electrolytic steel from Germany and France has not been introduced into China at that time, and the gun barrel steel independently developed is seriously insufficient in heat resistance and high temperature impact strength. In 2004, China signed import refining technology with French MCT company and German Rheinmetall company respectively. Therefore, China developed the 140mm tank gun in the later period, which was successful. If 2000 tanks really use the 140mm main gun, it is likely that China people will create a new incredible miracle.
China's Type 99 tank has other weaknesses, and the on-board command system in the theater is not perfect. At present, the 90 1B military armored vehicle radio station and the 975C military GPS vehicle-mounted receiving system used by China army are in the problem stage. After purchasing the China 85 armored vehicle, Thailand's first requirement is to replace the 88B car radio made in China. The reason is that the performance is low and it can't adapt to the changing environment well. However, there are still some defects in the performance of Type 99 armor, and China people dare not advocate the development of advanced lean armor technology. And armor-piercing techniques. This is its biggest regret and defect. The muzzle kinetic energy of 125mm gun is low, which is unavoidable for Russians and China. It does not have the muzzle velocity capability of the 120mm smoothbore gun currently used by the US Army and NATO allies. Therefore, both China and Russia are stepping up the development of 135mm caliber artillery, which can fully explain the problem.
However, once China 99 tank can get out of China with the approval of China government, it will undoubtedly be in Asia, the Middle East, Arab and African countries. Caused quite a stir and shock. Pakistan may be his first major and biggest user!
