China May Deliver 300 of Type 99 Main Battle Tank to Pakistan

105mm and still a technology demonstrator.

What is the issue with 105mm? Its a light tank and it can be equiped with 125mm.

PL 01 is only 30 tons heavy... If you had AN 124 then you could transport 5 of them.

I think it also can transport troops...

Yeah tell your Modi to prepare his 56" chest or be prepared to serve Tea to both China and Pakistan.

Ice cold tea will be served in siachen

Talks are underway for replacing older fleet. A customized version should come for trials soon, the problem is engine, as it is pretty similar to the one installed in VT-4, slightly more powerful. The 150HB series.

Frankly, fingers not crossed yet.

Bhai,

Why are they hell bent on replacing the relatively good T-80UDs?

 

[Dazzler]

Not going anywhere mate, chillax. They just got upgrades recently and r more than a match to anything the enemy has in the arsenal at the Moment.

Looks like war is upon us... Very soon. Time for new mapping

But on serious note. China and Pakistan might attack India. Time to go for shopping. Chinese are arming Pakistan and all these new weapons will be delivered in 3 or so time

I hope we don't de-rail from the Main Thread ...

But TO be Honest .. BOTH countries are going through Major Military Up gradation Phase (Also Pakistan is in Economic recovery) , with India lagging behind in Air Power (not to Pakistan, but by its own Parameters) .. i don't see thm committing to a war for atleast next 10-15 years (alot depending on water situation)...

Neither i see Pakistan going for any confrontation on its own, considering the indian conventional armament is significantly superior to Pakistan (mostly in Numbers but Not Always in Quality- but thn again quantity in itself posses a quality) ...

China Also need to strengthen its economic might (with difficult times looming ahead) south China Sea flaring up, it won't want an additional front ...

My Only Fear is with MODI, i could be wrong but he have the potential (or thirst) for ignoring ground realities and may well be in his last years of being in power (in second Term) could go for a misadventure !

China May Deliver 300 of Type 99 Main Battle Tank to Pakistan

According to reports, china may deliver a total of 300 of Type 99 Main Battle Tank to Pakistan. Pakistan is already testing the Type 99 Main Battle Tank given the unsatisfactory performance of the VT-4 and Oplot-M. VT-4 is the export variant of the MBT-3000, while the Oplot-M is a Ukranian Tank. Pakistan is looking to upgrade its inventory of tanks in order to satisfy the needs of the armed forces from 2017 to 2025. After the successful testing of Type 99 Main Battle Tank, it will be decided which tanks will to acquire.

Defense experts have welcomed this new development with open arms. The Type 99 Main Battle Tank would serve as a cheap and ideal replacement for Pakistan Army’s fleets of T80UD, Al-Zarrar, Type 85, Type 69, and Type 59 MBTs. The fleets under Pakistan Army as of right now are quite old and can’t possibly create with a modern line of tanks in huge numbers. Type 99 Main Battle Tank was fielded by the Chinese People’s Liberation Army. It is a third-generation tank and a Chinese variant of the Russia T-72 MBT. Type 99 Main Battle Tank incorporates the autoloader, hull, the main gun and armor from the T-72 Russian MBT. If the deal between Pakistan and China on this front goes through, the Type 99 Main Battle Tank should also serve as an ideal opponent to the Indian T-90MS.

Pakistan is doing exceptionally well at the moment in carving out important deals on two crucial fronts; infrastructure and defense. China has been a great benefactor of Pakistan and hopefully will remain so in the years to come. With China having invested billions of dollar in Pakistan, even more so recently in the form of China-Pak Economic Corridor, more such deals, even powerful, could come through in the future. As for the infrastructure, the government is bringing in foreign investments not short of billions of dollars to finance power generation projects in Pakistan. With Operation Zarb-e-Azb, Pakistan is at a constant battle with terrorists and quite successfully. If things keep heading the way they are, Pakistan has a bright future ahead.

@kaonalpha Can you confirm this... secondly, is type 99A or type 99A2.

Agree, without proper air-cover Tank battalions will be a duck shoot for enemy Air-force, no matter how many they are.

Air cover is important, one the bridge head has not been launched. This is the time when formations are most vulnerable. Once it has been launch they it is very difficult to get after those formations. I think PAF has protect the assets till the bridge head is launched. Obviously, there are certain assumptions taken by me while presenting this analysis. for example, every formation has its own limited air cover etc etc.

Is Pakistan need it ? Because Pakistan already have enough no of battle tanks .... i think pakistan more need Navy War ships....

 

[alimobin memon]

looks like pakistan is increasing tank fleet. Maybe Al Zarrar Project is not as good as speculated as stop gap.

Nah we will prefer hot perhaps at the Red Fort.

 

[Path-Finder]

Getting some HJ-12 would be nice!

 

[EAK]

some idiot on here thinks heavy bombers like the B-52 is needed to take out tanks
i'll refrain from bother to answer this brainwashed imbecile, quoting his post is almost like giving him some kind of respect. and with a -44 it summarizes his poor quality

With 322 post and 2 negative ratings.. You are almost as much brain washed as he is kid..

 

[Ghazwa e Hind]

Al-Khalids and T-80UDs are one of the most advanced MBTs in the world. This guy T-99 is also a same league. Pakistan Army's Armored Corps needs 3000 tanks to operate in the vast lengths & breadths. Currently, our AKs, T-80UDs and medium MBT Al-Zarrar & T-85 are not more than 1500 in numbers. Rest of the inventory is old and obsolete literally.

I don't think that army is going to phase out T-80UDs at this time. They will only be retire after procurement of more than 2000 latest heavy MBTs. Pakistan will procure tanks in numbers from different countries to complete the numbers gap against adversary. Our minimum deterrence is 3000 tanks against more than 4000 Indian Army tanks. Al-Khalid, Al-Khalid II, T-99, T-80s and Al-Zarrars are not enough to reach the number of 3000. I think Pak Army will purchase some cheap tanks to fill the numbers gap because 3000 numbers should be maintained anyway. Technology requirements are already fulfilled by Al-Khalid.

 

[black-hawk_101]

So where is AK-IIs? and How many AK-1s have been produced? Also, About AK-IIIs?

 

[Blue Marlin]

pakistan should look at this(type 99) platform and use components from friendly countries to make them better.
for example the PNK-6 tank sight on which was on the oplot-m, pakistan never rejected the oplot because of the sensors.

and if you want to go up a notch then you should look to you brother to the west, Turkey. the altay may be to heavy for pakistan but it got some goodies that isn't.

how about the STANAG 4579 that uses a Thales bis.

im sure theres more stuff out there tht pakistan would like but there are some example.

Re Read the OP !
this Type will be use for REPLACEMENT for existing old generation tank !

The Type 99 Main Battle Tank would serve as a cheap and ideal replacement for Pakistan Army’s fleets of T80UD, Al-Zarrar, Type 85, Type 69, and Type 59 MBTs.


(Although as mentioned in above comments T80UD may not need immediate replacement ... but Al-Zarrar (Type 59) / Type 69 / Type 85 (Totaling to 2000 Tanks Sure D can be replaced & it will take Significant time .. & as i Read Reviews ... Type 99 seeems to be a Good Tank, better thn All & except at Par if not Superior to Al-Khalid I
