Secondary Gun: 12.7 mm anti-air machine gunĪl Khalid (The Immortal Tank) This fiercely named tank was named for its formidable strength and firepower.Type 96 comes loaded with unique Chinese technology after years of painful study of other designs. The Chinese after realizing that all their current fleet of MBTs were outmatched and out-gunned by the west as shown during the Gulf war went ahead with an ambitious plan to fill up that gap. Engine: VT/E1 Diesel engine 1,200hp turbocharged diesel engineĪn advanced Chinese design able to go toe-to-toe with even the most deadly western tanks and still come out unscathed.Technology: Red Shield 2 active protection system, 76 mm smoke grenade launchers.
Secondary Gun: 12.7 mm Heavy machine gun, 7.62 mm coaxial GMPG.The maximum firing range of the anti-tank missiles is 5km. The 125mm gun can fire armour-piercing fin-stabilised discarding-sabot (APFSDS) rounds, high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT) warhead, artillery and guided missiles. Informed sources claims that the FY-4 ERA on the VT4 has the same protection level as the Russian Kontakt-5. The gross vehicle weight of the tank is approximately 52,000kg. The hull of the VT4 MBT is of all-welded steel armour construction. The VT4 tank features integrated advanced armor and fire control capabilities and offers increased firepower and protection to combat forces in the battlefield. It is intended primarily for export markets. The VT4 (MBT-3000) main battle tank is a third-generation armored combat vehicle designed and developed by China North Industries Corporation (Norinco). Secondary Gun: 7.62 mm PKT or NSVT coaxial GMPG.Armor: Hardened steel (RHA 440-650 depending on variant).Uniquely among Russian tanks in the presence of a powerful gas-turbine engine coupled with a high Power-to-Weight ratio which gives the T-80 a blistering speed (of 70 km/h) but with a severe range limitation. Although, various upgrades have diminished the risk.
This type of round minimizes space albeit with a slight disadvantage i.e it is easily combustible so the whole ammunition storage is at risk. A new unique tank around which uses a semi-combustible cartridge that burns up completely during firing.
A futuristic tank design having its roots from the successful T-64 MBT.
