Marko Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 We need some more opinions. Plus I have a good excuse if I misidentified it I am old and my eyes dont work very well. LoL I did think it could be a Type 3000. But on closer inspection I still think its the 96B. I will bet you one virtual beer on it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

12Alfa Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 As per Russian site - Type 96B, which is also known as the ZTZ-96B, is a variant of the Type 96A main battle tank that began its service with the Chinese army in the 90s. The Type 96B, like many other land-based weapons systems or tanks, was developed by the national defence industry’s Norinco company. They of course, as stated in other forums, may have modified a T96-98 to compete, and try to win in the competition . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boner Posted November 21, 2017 Author Share Posted November 21, 2017 Well aged Marko i do believe you win the giant VB woot woot with some intensive research i was able to track down a series of photo,s and a vid confirming the tank in question as a 96 B during said research i find the differences of 96B through MBT 3000 are seemingly superficial ( exterior ) I.E. the 3000 has RC machine gun & RPG type armour ( i dont know the proper term ) as well as armour skirts here is a couple samples 96B / 99 / 99A2 / 3000 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boner Posted November 21, 2017 Author Share Posted November 21, 2017 when i posted the photos mixed up its now 99A2 /type 99 / 96B / MBT 3000 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marko Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 The type 99A2 really looks the part. But I would wager there next variant will have a unmanned turret that looks remarkably like the T-14. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
