The tank is a great improvement, but still is a long way from being a good MODERN tank. It has added armor, better 105 gun, NBC protection. But it relies heavily on ERA, and anyone can still kill it by kicking it in the azz.

I see not much potential in this thing when fighting openly as a MBT. I'd say though, it can do a lot when fighting in the cities and maybe in jungles. In most cities, roads are narrow, so most MBTs can't pass through. This little one can, however. And it can so ambush incoming tanks. And if there are soldiers with RPGs, the 59 can save itself if given a seond upgrade with racks installed.

Not all of PRC's borders require T-98's to secure. For an example, Mongolia's army is equipped with ~650 T-54/55 & T-62's, plus about a thousand older APC's (BMP-1, BTR-40/60). Burma only has ~80 Type-69-II's, and most of the former Soviet Republics are armed with old export variants of the T-72M (T-72A).

A modernized T-59D is prolly a good match to the T-72A/T-72M.

any rpg will whoop a 59d. it sucks, no matter how much new gear you put on it. you might as well scrap em, or sell em. if you can sell the 59 ds at a few thousand $ a piece, you would have alot of buyers.

i never knew mongolia had such a military
