New Type98/99 MBT thread
- Thread starter Dongfeng
- Start date
regarding the latest ZTZ-99, anyone know the quality of the sights, optics, and ballistic computer?
we know that China is embargoed by the West, and the best specimens PLA has are probably derived from Russian equipments, the Russian optics themselves are behind Western, as the latest T-90S uses Catherine from France, so Chinese tanks optics must also be a generation behind
is there any information that can disproof this assumption? award for scientific breakthrough or papers or brochures, or reliable insider information?

I don't think CHina military optics derived from Russian. Chinese know Russian hardware is lousy. Even Russian defence minister admit this deficiency. If China optic is generation behind. Basic rational will be buying from Russia but its not the case.
China imported several Matador FCS from israel during the early 80's to arm Type-79 tank,by the early 90's as part of type-85 tank project,they turn to Marconi eliot for technical assisstant to develop new generation of FCS,it was offical unveil in 1995,it included automatic target recognition and auto tracking.later will included Ir imaging ,it adapted SPRITE detection similiar to Britain's TOG,which equipt Challenger-1 and up grade version fo chiefttain tank. chieft complain abouyt the IR camera was small LOV
but SPRITE technology by standard was obselete,most western tank were fitted with gen 3 IR camera.
But during 2004 Zhuhai airshow, china display gen.3 Quantum well IR detector.
according booklet "ZTZ-99",due to cost only the gunner was fitted IR imaging camera,but DIIC claim both commander and gunner fitted with thermal camera.

I think you should lurk more. You are asking someone else to do the hard work of collecting hard-to-get information for you, yet you come in with your mind already made up. I for one don't see any incentive to help you here.
