+5 more I intended to post here but today I learned about the 1MB limit. So in lieu of posting the images, I will link to them instead.

No I justed posted some images on the Chinese IFV thread, all of which exceeded 3MB. It just doesn't work here for some unknown reason. But ye next time do exactly that, thanks for advice +1

ZTZ-96A rolling out!


During shore-landing exercises:


Strangely enough these were also >1MB, now it automatically compresses my images, which is helpful.

Bang bang...

Images from a recent exercise.

Is Type 96A still being produced? That dual-tiller steering at the start just screams "old school".

I think it's probably being produced?

They still got old tanks to replace, and it's probably safe to assume that the 96A is still 'pretty cheap' (especially compared to western tanks).

And well, I don't think the PLAGF has that much pressure, as we haven't seen them upgrading very fast (upgrades are coming to equipment, but tanks aren't what's being focused on at least for now).
