too big, too slow, no fire control system, no anty infantry decoys, no auto-reloading system, no tactical gestion panel, 4 man crew instead of 3 for a leclerc tank... HOW BAD
Type 99 Tank : laser suppressor and thermal image jammer (4000m range)+ laser warning active protection (electromagnetic)+ laser-based IFF system+depleted uranium (DU) APFSDS round + Explosive Reactive Armour (can be shot by T-72C tank seven times and sustain no damage), High-powered laser dazzler . Fastest tank :2100hp version : 60miles/hr
High-tech war ready data-link+digital battlefield information terminal+GPS navigation . 155 mm gun with kinetic rounds.
As stated none of the more advanced tanks have faced off, but only the M1 has killed other tanks. The M1 has been in a fight. Challenger proved it can also fight. Would leo or LeClerc do as well? Probably would T90 dominate t72 or would ztz99 dominate t72? Probably but will all but M1 and Challenger its a guess. If you want to be the baddest you got to put in the work! Nicest looking of the old soviet designes thats for sure!
@cr9527 Those 2 people aren't the "Chinese State Media". The interviewer asked them "Where would you place our T-99 tank at?" After they answered, the interviewer chuckled and said "Really? The last rank?".
Those 2 included a military professor, and some guest host, whom by part 2 have already acknowledged that type-99 is not at the top ten. On a separate episode, the military professor briefly described the top 4, which were identical to this list.
I assure you if they said anything the CCP doesn't want them to say, they would not have broadcasted.
@UtdRepsOfChina well the russian Kontakt-5 ERA does block APDFSP easily. combine that with composite armor, or this Type 99's armor, it can even block Javelin missiles lol
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Leo 2A6M's armour is more advanced.... the Leo is faster with much better suspension allowing better ease of firing while in movement while offroading, the Gun has a higher range, the computer systems in a leo are 2nd to none. This is bullshit Chinese propaganda.
Leo2A6M has the same armour as the 2A6 version with additional heavier skirts and an added plate at the belly to protect against mines and IEDs. It is not faster than Type-99, it's top speed is 70kph, while Type-99 has a top speed of 80kph, because both have 1500hp engines, while Type-99 is about 10 tonnes lighter. Suspension is the same - torsion bar suspension. As for ease of firing while in movement off road, you're dead wrong.
Leo2s use a human loader which cannot maintain an average rate of fire over rough terrain, when the tank bounces and hits potholes and bumps at speeds higher than 25km. That's were the autoloader simply has no equal. Autoloader gives chinese and russian tanks a sustained rate of fire no matter the terrain and speed involved. Also, all modern tank guns have a maximum range of 10+ km, effective range depends on the rounds used.
That top speed is highly recommended never to be reached because of trouble with the engine overheating(granted, its being worked on), the armour is not the same, its BASED off the leo 2 because the chinese were never one for originality. And my son, not all torsion bars are built the same. And the chinese do not have access to the LAHAT which our ranges anything the reds are putting out.
LAHAT has the same range (with a smaller warhead) as Invar-M ATGM of the russian T-90. On top of that, LAHAT is not standard issue equipment of Leo 2 tanks.
And yes, all torsion bars are built the same as they use the same mechanical principal. If you're talking about materials used for build, that will only influence the average life expectancy of the said parts not their effectiveness in providing suspension. Top speed of 80km for Type-99 speaks enough about the quality of the suspension.
right, most modern guns can usually rife around 10km of maximum range, although at that range no kind of round would be strong enough to destroy the front armor
of any 3rd gen tanks. the maximum effective combat range to maintain maximum penetration is usually somwhere between 2 - 3km, unless they can launch ATGMs like the T-80/90 or Type 96/99 which would extend to 5km.
as history has taught us, the best tank model doesn't always win. In war, production time and sheer volume will usually win out. I would really doubt this thing having an advantage over the abrams anyways. I def wouldn't mind taking one for a spin around (I mean through) the block
yo seriously bro,, i am chinese, but stop the bullshit right now... how can 99A2 be so advanced when it still uses the old hull, how can the 99 tanks be so advanced when it still uses a Ukraine engine with a manual transmission
A lot of people say the the French Lecerc or the German Leopard tanks are the best. Many also say that the M1 is the best. But how do we truly know? The answer is... We cant. Since NONE of these tanks never went head to head against the other.... Seriously... Who wants to see a French Lecerc in a war against the Germans?
@AKTHEGREAT1234 true. But there is no doubting that the chinese defense industry is lagging behind the west in terms of technical sophistication. They are producing stuff that may be one generation behind the west.
@redwhitedude But the WEST and EUROPE are already in a financial crisis, USA is living on a Trillion Dollars Debt that China owns. Europe is now at the tip of breaking. USA is already cutting its defense budget ITS JUST TIME THAT USA WILL GO DOWN, and China will ascend. Its just fucking time
@hjtjl The US to begin with has a bloated defense budget so it needs some paring down. Not all of europe is in financial crisis. The stronger economies historically germany and france are doing just fine. The drag are the less competitive economies such as greece, spain and to a lesser extent italy. Europe will pull through but the main economies are intact. China is ascending but will it ascend to superpower status that is not a given yet. At the moment they dominate the low cost manufacturing.
And what does it mean by, "Unchallenged by any other tank in the world?" This thing didnt even go to battle yet.. Against America's famous M1 Abrams? Seriously people. We must take it into consideration that many of the world's advanced tanks do not go head to head to other so called 'superior' tanks. So in a sense, we dont even know the best tank in the world
wow fail... the description of the video is WAY OVER EXAGGERATED. I agree. the tank is pretty advanced. But the description on the right greatly overdoes it. "The Type 99 has the world's HIGHEST MOBILITY, MOST POWERFUL CANNON, ABSOLUTELY THE BEST ELECTRONICS, and the NEWEST ARMOR. " Way to over done... but its a nice tank
well techically the m1a2 went against t 72 t 54/55 and some t 80s(not u model or bk) so of course the m1a2 pwns

@11111Cube
yes and no,
ERA is good to decrease the HEAT projectiles by a counter-explosion.
However, against APDFSP the best thing is a massive block of composite
armor. The Type 99 actually uses also modular composite armor on the front
of the turret and at its sideracks. Only the blocks on the front chassis seems
to be ERA. But it was mentioned that ERA blocks could be added.
