This is one of many experimental vehicles that are floating around in this country, all major tank designers even on the international level that are out there have some pretty neat concepts.
I meant the design is with accent on 'low profile' and low observability, like the Russian's T-serial tanks have: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxba0ynu_yk&mode=related&search=
Interesting, what engine they used there. The classic V-shaped diesel seems to be too high for it.

A-l-d

Gun positioning is very important when lining up a new shell, Russian auto loader gun placement is 3 degrees above the horizontal position which it will automatically do each time the gun is fired, I do not know exactually what it is on the Leclerc or Type 90 but even though they have bustle mounted auto loaders I would think that it is close to that position. These systems when properly maintained are quite fast when loading especially when it comes to the bustle mounted systems.


T-90 does not have active-laser-defence

forget wetern tanlks, it cannot even take on the Type-99 tanks of china

Are you referring to Type 90 from Japan, is so why will it not be able to take on a Type - 99 from China, please give me facts as to what makes the Type - 99 a better tank.:) :)

Yes with this experimental vehicle it is quite low and the crew is located in the hull, concept has been tested for the last twenty years or so not only by us, but as you know Russia has been working with similar platform.

Okay - I will assume that you are talking about a TYPE 90, it does have a laser defensive warning system in place. Again what is so special about the Type-99, facts please.:rolleyes:

I do not like Russian tanks as much as Western MBTs. The west has more money for research and therefore gets better tanks. Western armies also have better trained and motivated crews. The Russian tanks have one plus point. They are really cheap.

I also think personally that the type 99 from china is better than the t-90 from Russia. Might not be true though.
Now that is interesting - what do you like better, I personally like the bigger hull on the Type - 99.

I like the hull too. Overall though, I believe that the Chinese are now equal or ahead the russians in tanks. the type-99 also looks cooler. I like the side skirt armor. The main gun is cool too.
It is a great tank.:)

Hey, all.

On russian website I've seen too many sayings like "Abrams' piece of crap - T-90 the best". So I was just wondering, is T-90 that great? Because I have a hard time believing it. I'm not saying it's not a good tank - it is. But is it, like the russkies say, best of all?

TIA.
you sure because the abrams has still not been beaten by any russian tank but i hope the t90 is way better

The type-99 also looks like a western MBT. Do you think it could win over a t-90/t-80U?
In the hands of a well trained tank crew and proper ammunition it could hold its own against any tank or battlefield skirmish that it may face. I would never under estimate a T-90 or T - 80U either. China has conducted extensive research on the T - 80U and T - 84, compliments of Ukraine and have placed some of the technology into the Type - 99. It is rumored that DU penetrator technology has come from Isreal.

You should never under estimate Russian tank technology, they have some pretty wild stuff that they are working on also. The current side skirts are not ballistic panels, not say that they cannot offer this.

But the S is soooo ugly...
What is amazing with the S-tank is that swedish engineers have perfectly managed to design such an ambush tank, well adapted to the sweden defense purposes during the Cold War, and to its engagment type of terrain either.
