Huh. So even the police in China refer to units dealing with dogs as K-9.

CNN aired the news of the USMC's photo scandal using the picture of the Chinese military force as the background, what a terrible logging and editing... one even can see that distinctive PLA logo at the right on the fuselage

Type 99 MBT

I wonder what's China's most superior main battle tank at present? (in operational stage)
And what will it be in the near future? (something under development and already made known) -- the army's arsenal is relatively less mentioned here, shaded by the rapid and much "sexier", big & impressive developments in navy and air force or even the newcomer, Rocket Force!
