(Land) China: Type 99 (MBT)

[Turin]

Hmm klingt realistisch. Insofern könnte ich mir auch den Post eines gewissen Israelis in einem anderen Forum erklären, was ich oben ansprach:

Quote:
Hi buddy,
I am denil - from Israel and working on the Arjun. I think most of you guys are getting too personal here. Facts are facts.
Buddy i think i can help you out here. Most of the answers to your questions are already in this forum. (...)

Anyway i have been to Singapore and spent some time in assisting Singapore with certain critical upgrades and system design issues. Anyway that is not the point here. I DO KNOW THE T-98 quite well seen the interiors too I guess you have too. The entire tanks metallurgy is MESSED UP... even a RPG -7 will kill the t-98 - sorry but its true. I know about Chinese engineers consulting Israel on these issues. There is talk of a huge assistance from Israel to Chine -but USA is a major bottle neck. You are a market to us - but USA wont let it happen even with some really small issues. (...)
Let me honestly tell you what the t-98 is. It is a honest attempt to make a decent tank and experiment (since there is a lot of money in China to do this) and play with technologies and see what comes out. This one has gone WAY TO WRONG...but nevertheless that’s how all nations learn. next time around most of it will be rectified. Its was also made from a marketing point of view to make some form of dent in the Russian arms market in providing cheap alternates.
(...) Metallurgy and China have a long way to go. I know of incidents documented secretly by China and given to El-Op systems for study and rectification - i don’t have the liberty to go into that.

Er macht noch diverse und recht ausführliche Bemerkungen zu seiner Arbeit am Arjun, die seine These evtl stützen.
