Type96A if I remember correctly. It’s the gunners seat.
Here is what I mean by commander hatches being convex, they often don’t actually even close plush with the roof, instead they have outer grooves around the outer rim of the hatch:

This is the drivers hatch...
What does that picture supposed to prove exactly? It’s a commanders station from what I presume is a Type99. Commanders hatches are alway convex in shape so that the commander can have room for his head to be able to comfortably see through the vision blocks. In other words it’s not a plush...
There is no project 915, and the T-14 is a new design. There is no Soviet tank even close to the T-14.
And if the T-72 and T-90 are tin cans then what does that make the Type99 when the armor is clearly thinner.
The T-80 is an inferior tank to the T-90, I’m tired of repeating it. In live fire...
There is nothing false I said about anything. I proved that Chinese tanks had thin armor with evidence, then I gave examples of China using Russian components. Its more of Petty denial on your part.
What image? The T-72 and T-90 have the same roof thickness as the hatch. I posted a picture proving it. Here it is again, put your glasses on:
Same thickness:
Type 99 hatch thickness and roof is the same thickness:
T-14 hatch and roof is identical in thickness.
Why do you tell people to be humble and not get cocky when you have said the T-90 is a tin can, the Al-Khalid is superior, and the T-14 is garbage.
You sound like a hypocrite.
When did I ever say the hatch is not the same thickness as the surrounding roof. Pull that none existent quote.
I have always said they are the same thickness. I said the drivers hatch and roof is thinner then then the driver hatch and roof on the turret. Those are two different parts of a...
The driver accidentally hit the emergency brake during rehearsal. An armored recovery vehicle could not even move the T-14 because the brake was on. After a while a technician discovered the problem and disengaged the emergency brake and the tank drove off, the tank participated in the parade...
The result is that China bought SU-35s, that must hurt your ego. The stuff that comes from China is rediculous. Like I said Norenko claims that their tanks had better engines, transmission and fire control compared to Armata, although Russia has said very little about any of those systems on the...
You must be stupid or can’t read. Yes I said that the hatches and roof armor is the same thickness, I literally never claimed it wasn’t. Learn to read before making a fool out of yourself.
China has been waiting for years for that engine. The JF-17 uses the RD-33 there is no smoke. China purchases the SU-35 for a good reason.
And spare everyone the Chinese myths. Chinese poster were claiming that Russia made China use Russian made ammunition in the tank biathalon. That is the...
Until recently they used American made chips. China just bought a bunch of Russian made SU-35s, the J-31 uses RD-93s and basically almost every Chinese product uses some Russian parts or is a copy. You should be the last to talk
As for Russian drones, nothing is known about them but based on...
I’m not sure why people on here often accuse Russia of some sort of blackmail, leverage, ect.
Remember how Russia was accused of lying about the SU-35 deal? I remember all the insults and name calling and for what?
I’m not a spokesperson for Russia but Russia has good relations with Pakistan...
Yes they do. I just posted multiple photos of hatches and the actual roof thickness. You just posted a random photos of a T-90 that shows nothing. T-90 drivers hatch is thin like all other tanks besides the T-14. The commanders hatch and roof on the T-90 is, however, much thicker and that is...
The T-14 has a 3rd generation APC called Afghanit which is claimed to be able to intercept ATGMs as well as APFDS rounds.
Is to what the Armatas side armor can withstand is anyone’s guess but at the minimum it will be able to withstand RPG-7s just like even T-72s can when fitted with ERA...
That is based off a 25 year old Swedish Strf90 light tank. It weighs just 38 tons, and has a 940HP engine.

It’s just an old Strf90 with a barel sleeve and some electronics from BAE and thicker skirts:
The hatch is the same thickness as the roof, so yes showing a hatch demonstrates the roof is thin. Besides that most Chinese tanks have zero side armor besides sheet metal skirts.
Here is actually the hull thickness of the Type99:
Here is the side skirt compared to T-14. Zero armor...
