Priory_of_Sion Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Do you know much about the Sino-Pakistani relationship? I know Pakistan likes to use Chinese military hardware and are building a highway through Kashmir. With the war on the Afghan frontier and the U.S. leaving, would it be likely to see more Chinese involvement in that conflict? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khand-e Posted June 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Do you know much about the Sino-Pakistani relationship? I know Pakistan likes to use Chinese military hardware and are building a highway through Kashmir. With the war on the Afghan frontier and the U.S. leaving, would it be likely to see more Chinese involvement in that conflict? China is easily Pakistan's biggest ally bar none, the fact they both don't like India also helps. But Pakistan is usually the first buyer of any new Chinese toys or gets the chance to test them second (after China themselves) to see how they perform. (Pakistan is also usually the first country a new Chinese premier visits and vice versa.) Also, they're building much more then just a highway. China is putting a 46 billion USD investment in improving the infrastructure and local defense of Pakistan, which outdoes even the USA's own 31 billion, to basically make everything from Roads, Railways, port improvements and a canal, many power stations, and countless other improvements to help defend them against local terrorist cells. And yeah, Chinese involvement wouldn't surprise me at all as they're basically trying to build a modern silk road at this point, if attacks from Afghanistan threaten that to the point Pakistan has trouble stopping it, I would expect them to at least send some defensive units on the border.

Khand-e Posted June 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 It is almost like CSAT in Arma 3! Nah, some magically strong Iran is the primary antagonist in Arma 3. Which is only one of it's flaws, but it's at least really good with mods. (....great, now I need to make a games thread on it.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoooSeR Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 Is it in service? AFAIK no. Type 96A vs T-72B. I didn't knew that Type 96A is bigger than T-72, including engine compartment. Chinese Tank Biathlon, not so recent photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khand-e Posted July 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 The Type 96A is actually a few tonnes heavier then then an unmodified T-72B (not the Biathlon ones), Not too surprising that it's slightly bigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could have been turret and hull frontal armor, heavier does not mean bigger. Type 96A looks like it have better frontal armor than T-72B.

Type 96A looks like it have better frontal armor than T-72B. They did rate it's armor better at the Biathlon. If you look a bit further, you can actually get photographs of inside the Type-96A with it's hatch open (I can get the photos if you want), maybe do that and take notes of features of it's interior layout that may make the tank bigger.

Khand-e Posted July 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 Also, not the Type-96A ones from the Biathlon, but these are claimed to be the inside of unknown model ZTZ-99. LoooSeR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MBT-3000 did not showed itself much better than Al-Khalid. And they were talking about this thing being superior to T-14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khand-e Posted July 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 Wait what? Even Norinco and the PLA think it's a watered down budget tank for export (Even the Type-96G beats it).
