A few months after details of a new Chinese light tank designed for mountainous terrain emerged in official channels, the state-run newspaper China Daily pronounced the tank the new pillar of the Chinese regime’s tank fleet. This most recent addition to China’s arsenal appears to have some of the same quality control issues as other high-tech Chinese armaments.

In July, Jane’s 360, a military news site, reported that the newly-unveiled tank was set to compete in this year’s Tank Biathlon in Alabino, Russia. http://www.janes.com/article/62175/china-s-norinco-develops-new-type-96-mbt-variant

But during the competitions, a series of photos show the Type 96B, one of several examples China has sent to Alabino, encountering what looks like unexpected mechanical trouble. According to Defence Blog, the tank lost a road wheel and the Chinese team had to replace the vehicle.

Brand new upgraded tanks, frontline tanks, chinese braggery, plus rare occasions when they can't censor news- makes it a fun discussion.

Build an aircraft. Without a copier.

This is the new low for someone that I had high regard for. With a mentality like this shared by Professionals and Trolls alike, no wonder India is in such sorry state in just about every conceivable aspect, from PISA to Olympic, from HPC to Indian Flags.

What a response! Thank you @Dungeness and I note that you HAD high regard. Very grateful for the brief notice. Apparently you have not had time to look at the actions and posts of your fellow countrymen.

Let us leave it at that.

And let me also add, as a professional, that as far as those who behave with decency and common courtesy towards me and my countrymen are concerned, of whatever nationality they might be, there has been no cause for complaint ever. Not even with Chinese members until this last phase of excruciating bad manners, arrogance and pompous, condescending criticism, even when it should have been unstinting praise. If you think China is perfect, that Chinese policies are perfect, that Chinese members and their manners and decorum is perfect, I have nothing to say; it is clear that nothing will permeate. On the other hand, it is clear that there is no one left among you to behave and think with rationality and even-handedness; everything becomes immediately an avenue for partisan politics, and propaganda.

So be it.

During war failure is not an option. It will be certain death.

No need to gloat, folks. If you have a serious course and push your MBT hard, all sorts of stuff can happen. If there is a quality issue underlying this, then it is better to find out in a competition than e.g. in combat.

Oh, OK. That works for me. Going alphabetically, are we?

You mean Indian?

We'd buy your engines if you had any.

There is every reason to gloat, but, as you said, the people at the sharp end of the gloating should realise better in trials than in combat, and they should learn to be less dour and self-righteous and smile.

Sure, sure....Anything to get rid of this conversation. Very clearly, except for a handful, no Chinese member is aware of what a conversation is. It is not for an individual, any individual, to stand around guiding someone else. I've had that to the back teeth.
