An active protection system can be of two types, Hard-kill systems like the Trophy and GL5/GL6 which defeat incoming projectiles with their own projectiles, or soft-kill which intend to protect the tank by other means such as IR Dazzlers (Shtora) and Laser Dazzlers (JD-3). Laser warning receivers along with automation smoke deployers are technically also soft Kill APS systems.
Generally the Hard kill systems are thought to be more effective, more expensive and preferred.
This JD3 system is a very strange one and often the topic of discussion among tank enthusiasts. Many (including me) doubt it’s effectiveness because of its strange (claimed) working principle. A now deleted video from a Chinese news documentary showed that it is intended to basically burn through objects (they used a thick piece of pinewood in the example) and hence said that it could do the same to optics and prevent the enemy ATGM or tank from firing at you. However this would need an extremely powerful laser, one that would need a very large and sudden power source (most likely a capacitor, but to have energy to melt a tank optic said capacitor would need to be absolutely huge). What it could possibly do is blind enemy optics and ATGMs as long as it’s pointed at them (unless wire guided, which again is a little confusing, because when the system was first seen most ATGMs were wire guided, and this system would not have the range to reach out to ATGM launchers anyways, another reason it is somewhat questionable, unless it is blinding ATGMs themselves, which would require it to move extremely fast and accurately, something that’s easy for a projectile but not so much for a small turret).
All this being considered, I doubt the capability of the system and though PA has shown interest in it and trialed several other APS systems, I doubt it will ever be inducted in the PA. If anything it is likely nearing replacement in the PLA itself with their new GL6 Hard kill systems (that are offered for VT4 as well), something the PA is more interested in too. The JD3 is only used in ZTZ99 and 99A, which may suggest something specific in the tank meant to power and use said system.
Currently the only tank in the PA with any version of an APS is the VT4 with its LWRs and automatic smoke deployment. AK was considered with VARTA (Ukrainian version of Shtora), but not inducted, because the system was already obsolete by then.
