T-72%20autoloader.jpg

 

Someone (who can read Chinese) can explain what exactly is shown in this image? It compares the autoloader design of the T-72 to the autoloader design of what tank? Does it mean "upgraded T-72" or "improved design based on the T-72 autoloader"?

 

If the autoloader's of the Chinese Type 9X tanks would woork like that, the crew would be quite well protected. The projectiles are stored within an armored container below the turret ring, while the propellant charges are stored behind a layer of armor in the turret bustle, apparently with some blow-out panels.

Late response, but yeah, that's the autoloader style/blowout panels used in the Type-96A/B series.

 

Obvoiusly going by the graphics, you're almost always going to lose at least 1 man in a penetration scenario, but better that then the entire crew.

When I asked about this picture on another forum a while ago I was told that it was redesign of the T-72 called 龙 (Dragon).
