My bad, I should have read more carefully. Still didn't see Type 99, which is the best tank China have. Yes, you start it with a bunch of speculations. You asked me about divisions vs. battalions, brigadization is irrelevent to answer your questions...also, what is wrong with their...

Okay, moderator, here is one of your own article at your own forum... China's Defense Challenge The Russian-built S-300 PMU-2 air defense system by Martin Walker UPI Editor Emeritus Washington (UPI) May 26, 2006 At some point this fall, probably in September, China will take delivery of a...

Register at china-defense.com, there is a thread about that $ 75 bil figure. People with a lot more knowledge in this field and with a better reputation also support my claim that it is from PPP...so if you support the $ 75 bil figure then you support PPP, but you can't support one and deny the...

That is either a type 96 or a type 98(prototype), there is no add-on armor in the picture so that is not a type 99

if you wish for peace, then prepare for war

Yes it is, let me put it to you this way...see the "$"-dollar sign, that means US currency, but China doesn't use the US dollar; so where could this $ 75 bil figure come from...omfg, maybe it is converted to US currency from Chinese currency...and how do people determine conversion factors? by...

That is funny, i don't remember Type 99 participating in the Sino-Russian exercises. But i do remember Type 96 participating in that exercises. You are dead wrong, best way to see capabilities is through performances on the actualy battlefield in a real war. If you think Sino-Russian is...

I already proved my arguement and you already agreed with me. You stated again and again that PPP doesn't work, which is the same thing i been trying to say (the power of Chinese money should be higher). PPP is used to determine all money conversions. The $75 bil figure is in US currency...

First of all, we don't have any statistics about Type 99's fire control or C4ISR, so you arguement about Type 99's fire control and C4ISR is a blatant lie out of your ignorance...if you take Type 99's upgradable armour, add-on armour, and active defense into account, Type 99's is defensable...

the actual cost, if you ignore the money and currency conversions, and you go down to the fundamental of economics, would be still be about the same. Its just that in US, you earn more money, so things cost more; in China, you earn less money, so things cost less...the 75 bil figure only takes...

Not the exact same benefit, but also not 75 bil figure either...here is a even simpler example,Type 99 MBT is comparable to Abram MBT, but Type 99 MBT is a lot cheaper than the Abram MBT, so when the money is recorded, China seems to have spend far less than the US while still deploying an MBT...

Fuel costs and resources doesn't count towards PPP or nominal...but the point is, like you said, if PPP doesn't work, then it means there is a serious flaw with the $ 75 billiion conversion since it is converted from Chinese currency to US currency using PPP. My point about people getting paid...

That doesn't say anything beside that US spends a lot of money on defense...spending a lot of money on defense doesn't mean you have a good defense. Before 9/11, US thought it was invincible, and now look where it is at. China could be more efficient with resources than US. In addition...

Yes, they are developed by the same people, but the Type 99 is an entire generation ahead of the Al-khalid. Al-khalid is MBT-2000, it is just the pakistani name. Type 99 is very different from the Type 98. Al-khalid is comparable to Type 96 mod, since they are in the same generation and...
