    Do you know WZ122's variant "product 704" ? If you know it already, then I won't need to upload its picture anymore.

    The RHA turret is Type80's stuff, not Storm-1 or Storm-2's. The photos above showed Storm tank turret's composite armor pack welded to the turret. For other parts, yes, Storm-1 uses 730hp engine and planetary gearbox, Storm-2 uses 800hp engine (and the engine part is a little bigger in size) and hydraulic gearbox, basicly that's all the difference.

    1, we built 3-hydraulic (WZ122-1) first, and it is a disaster, completely unreliable; that's why we turned back to mechanical (3-mechanical, WZ122-2 and WZ122-3), but they didn't work very well else, one of WZ122B (I don't whether it is WZ1222 or WZ1223) is in plant617's museum as the photo showed before, another one's turret is installed on a Type80 tank body and displaying in BeiJing tank museum (the photo below). 2, buddy, I don't know what pictures you've saw already, and since plant617's museum is not a pubilc museum (and these tanks may also be stored in the warehouse untill now), the photos I uploaded are the only new photos so far. 3, there are other Storm-1 and Storm-2 (they are almost identical except the engine and transmission part) displaying in Chinese North Industries Corp's park and plant617's park. I checked their photos and I found you're right.: 4, I havn't notice this special 59 tank before, I'll see to what I can find.

    1, There isn't too much info about Type 80 welded turret, the only thing we know about is it is a steel turret (without any kind of special armor) for test use only. So it is safe to say they made more than one prototype turrets. 2, These tanks are in Inner Mongolia First Machinery Group Corporation (plant 617) 's museum, only who were invited may visit there. Here are more photos of WZ122-6: About WZ122-1, we call it "三液样车" (in English: 3-hydraulic prototype, meaning hydraulic control + hydraulic transmission + hydraulic suspension), here are its photos: otvaga questions: Storm-1 tank ( type85-I, and you all know type85-II which went to Pakistan service and PLA service) is not any kind of classified stuff in China, we know almost all of its common data, so, what they want to know ? The turret is its original turret, I checked from several sources. The gun isn't, this displayed vehicle didn't have any gun in the early years, the current gun is installed by the museum. BTW, Storm-1's original gun is 105mm. I never heard of "type59 with turbocharged engine and 1-piece cast turret", the only Chinese "1-piece cast turret" I know about is WZ122's turret. So could him upload some photos of it so I may know what tank he talk about?

    Where is the gallery now..... OK, here are some Chinese cold-war prototype tank. 1980s, Type 80 tank with welded turret,this is one of the first Chinese welded tank turrets, as you can see its quality isn't very well: 1970s, WZ122-6 tank (the 6th prototype of WZ122), this tank's design is effected by M48 tank we got from Vietnam, and armred with a 120mm L/48 smooth gun (not the German L44 gun or any kind of its copy, but a local developed low pressure tank gun, never used in any Chinese mass- produced tanks). WZ122-2 or WZ122-3 prototype: WZ132, if you are a WOT player, I believe you surely heared it already: BK1851 prototype tank, it's a project started in 1985 which meant to use steering wheel driving and western engine & transmission parts.
  6. U-47
    And you are right about this. The tank in your picture is Type85 tank, its armor is just about the same level as T-72M1 (no kidding), so T-72B do has much better protection.
  7. U-47
    It's not made up, and also not J18. In Chinese code system, we call bombers as "轰-X", or H-X for short, the "轰" means "轰炸机" or "Bomber" as in English. J-X means "歼-X", and "歼" means "歼击机" or "Fighter" in English. This is a bomber anyway, so of course it won't be called as J-18, instead, we call it "新隐轰" which means "new stealth bomber" in Chinese internet, "轰-18" (H-18) is its unconfirmed rumor name. This plan is true and do has a real model to show to the military, but it seems (rumor again and we can't confirm it) this plan has been dropped and that's also why it leaked on the internet (a serious Chinese plan won't leak to the net easily). Here is a more clear picture of its model:
  8. U-47
    My God, that's where you so called J25 came from...... It's a famous fake on Chinese internet years ago.
  9. U-47
    I agree.
  10. U-47
    What really going on. As you can see: a carrier-born AEW&C model (which means that's what the real one would look like) is under test in Chinese carrier's research land-model.
  11. U-47
    Again, fan made design, as you can see this is basicly a Ford-class carrier. And we have no any kind of J-25 so far, they do talked about a carrier-born J-20, but it's just a plan so far.
  12. U-47
    This is a fan made design, end. Next time you see any 3d CG picture marked with "西葛西造舰", they are all fan made design, or at least most of them. The true new Chinese FFG which we are working on are 054B (gas turbine powed, basicly looks like Singaporean Formidable-class frigate) and 058(light frigate like 056, I don't know its detail).
  13. U-47
    Good! Thank you. Here is the link: http://www.pearvideo.com/video_1029365 A new 3D CG video just made by my friends who work in the media, it shows the construction process of our new carrier with data, and the different between the new one and Varyag. In this video, "山东" (ShanDong, which named after one of our province) means the new carrier current under construction, "辽宁" (LiaoNing, named after another province, where these 2 carriers were building/built) means the carrier we bought (Varyag).

    Can somebody tell me why CIA wwould document their own tank or their own serect armor(at 80s) ?
  16. U-47
    This is really great !
  17. U-47
    This is the PLA Army painted (not test anymore) Type 16 light tank (someone also called it Type 17, we don't know its real name as for now), it's going to field the 41th army (which bases in Southern China, Guangxi province).
  18. U-47
    This is just a prototype gun for test use. This is some kind of fan made design, not sth that our tank really are or will be, in fact all Chinese 125mm gun MBTs so far are all using the stand T-72 autoloader system. Chinese tank designers believe that the real key to avoid explosion is a more reliable automatic fire suppression system, not a thin 20mm plate between ammo and crew (they believe if a APFSDS do penetrate the front armor, then this thin plate won't stop it else). In this picture, the left part "标准的T-72设计" means "The stand T-72 design" ,as you can see it shows what happens to a common T-72 when it get penetrate; the right part shows this guy's "龙氏隔舱化T-72设计" (means "Dragon's compartment T-72 design") which he blieve will protect the crew better and blah.

    A interview to Type96 tank's power system director. Here are some points from this interview (in case you don't know these): 1, Type96's diesel engine is called Type150 (which means its cylinder's diameter is 150mm ), the "old" type150 of Type96 (not Type96B) is developed from T-34's V2 500HP engine with turbocharger, its power output is 730HP. 2, Type96A uses a improved version which has 800HP output. 3, Type96B uses a completely new Type150 engine which is developed from Type99's engine (with different numbers of cylinders), its power output is 1000HP. 4, There are 12 Type96B tanks as for now.

    Wrong post.Edited.

    Do you mean the whole Sudan (whatever side) has 4 T-72/ZTZ96 totaly? Here is a interesting news, since obviously this event is a very bad reputation for Type92/WZ551, the TieMa( Type92/WZ551's manufacturer) has just released a new VN2C IFV which is basily a Type92/WZ551 with additional armor (SATNAG 4569 level3, 19 ton now instead of type92/WZ551's 12 ton) and 402hp new engine.

    A lot of Chinese people who knows nothing about AFV tech simply blamed that how can a "armored" vehcile couldn't resist a incoming shell and our soliders got hit and died. Of course, we know that there is no way a wheeled APC/IFV can resist mortar's direct hit, and even Type04 IFV or some other Chinese tracked modern IFVs can hardy resist such hit else, so the best hope we have on such thing is a heavy APC based on Type59 (T-54A copy) tank which just tested this year (sorry there is no photo of this APC, just a offical list named it). But what is even worse is the Sudan army got T-72AV MBT outside, what if they fire at us like this time for whatever misfire reason? Obviously even if we do have a Type59 tank based heavy APC, it still couldn't resist a 125mm APFSDS.

    Y, I know the tail, we saw it first from the Chinese peacekeeping force's official blog, who said they were attacked by an HEAT shell. Then we compared the photo to all known shells and we found it is a 125mm HE tail as well. But, as we all know: a 125mm shell can hardy hit the roof, and if it do, a 125mm HE will more likely to tear the wheeled IFV apart instead of just a small hole. And then we were told by the TieMa's staff that the blog made a mistake, that tail is from somewhere else (the blog simply release the photos as quickly as they can without think too much), not the one hit the IFV. The one hit the IFV is a 60mm mortar HE shell, and probably a Chinese made 60mm mortar HE shell. So TieMa official words is "a mortar shell less than 82mm".
  24. U-47
    Hi, guys, I am a Chinese who happens to found here. According to a friend of the manufacturer TieMa company (in English as Iron Horse, but I don't know if it uses such English name or sth else, this company builted these Type92 IFV, and this event makes a lot of Chinese blame them that they made a weak AFV that couldn't protect our soliders), the one that hit the Type92 is a 60mm mortar, and the roof armor where it hits is 5mm.
