China itself thinks it can be in the top three in the world, but it has not been officially ranked. As a result of the Chinese one.

is low-key, and it will only be stronger than this. The firepower and protection of the Type 99 are very good, but there is still a gap between the maneuverability and the international advanced level, because China's engine manufacturing is relatively backward. Good foreign tanks include the American M1A1 and M1A2, the German Leopard 2A6, the Japanese Type 90, the Russian T-90, the Israeli Merkava, the British Challenger, and the French Leclerc.

In fact, it's very simple The top three must be the German Leopard 2A6 American M1A2 Russian T-90 Our country can rank fourth I think so Germany, Russia, and the United States are all relatively advanced tanks They have all participated in 2 wars Among them, the American M1A2 has experienced more actual combat Tanks still mainly look at the performance on the battlefield It is useless to just look at the data But in the powerful tank, it is still given anti-tank missiles.

It can be said that the Red Arrow anti-tank ** in our country is still very smart.

Type 99 is ranked third in the world. The first is the German Leopard, the second is the American M1A2, and the Japanese Type 90 should be slightly inferior in comprehensive capabilities to the 99, ranking fourth!

<> "The third-generation Type 99 tank is known as the first in Asia and the fourth in the world, what is its performance?"

The tank is the king of land weapons, with strong protection capabilities and fierce firepower, which once made it difficult to meet opponents on the battlefield. The strength of the tank is undoubted, so people have developed a lot of cracks. Such as anti-tank mines, anti-tank rifles, anti-tank guns, with the development of modernization, fighter jets, unmanned aircraft can effectively and quickly destroy tanks.

People once thought that tanks did not have much value, but in fact, people usually saw asymmetrical operations, if in a large-scale symmetrical war, the value of tanks is still not rotten and can be replaced.

In the mid-20s of the 20th century, Zhang Zuolin, the then warlord of the Feng family, copied the French Renault FC31 tank in the Northeast Arsenal, but only made more than ten vehicles. Mass production of tanks began in our country in 1959, developed on captured Soviet-made T-54A tanks. However, due to the low industrial level of our country at that time, the performance of the tank was not high, and it was difficult to rank in the world.

However, after decades of scientific and technological development, when our scientific and technological level improved, the Type 99 tank was developed. After the successful development of this tank, its performance soon attracted attention at home and abroad, and the quality of the Type 99 tank also appeared in some foreign rankings. In most of the ** reports, the Type 99 is regarded as the first tank in Asia and the fourth in the world.

At present, the Type 99 tank is China's active main battle tank, is China's new generation of tanks, is at the third generation of tank development level, is China's reference to the Soviet-made T72 tank technology on the basis of independent research and development, combined with some advanced technology in the West. The Type 99 tank has the characteristics of "low survival", double-layer protective armor, sufficient power, excellent fire control system, and powerful firepower.

Specifically, the Type 99 tank, with a total combat weight of 51 tons, a total length of 10 meters when the muzzle is forward, a length of meters, a width of meters, and a height of meters, and a turbocharged intercooled high-power diesel engine of 1200 horsepower, which can run at a speed of 70-80 kilometers per hour (there are still some gaps between the power and the Western M1A2 and Leopard 2A6).

The fire control system of the Type 99 tank has an anti-cordance response time of less than 6 seconds, a first hit rate of more than 90 percent, and has the ability to shoot at moving targets in a state of motion day and night, making it the world's top fire control system. The Type 99 tank has composite armor in both its turret and hull, which has increased its bullet resistance exponentially. The Type 99 tank artillery is more powerful than the United States, Germany and other countries, and this item is well-deserved first.

The Type 99 is also extremely comfortable, and in the past, internal heat was a big problem, but the Type 99 tank was equipped with an air conditioning system due to its own electronic equipment, and the driver members also benefited from this.

Now the international community has not developed a large-scale war, the role of tanks seems to be neglected, and tanks have a feeling of heroic twilight. But who can guarantee that there will be no large-scale wars in the future? Therefore, now all countries in the world maintain this fixed number of tanks and do not stop in the slightest in the development of tanks.
