AFAIK, pics of the knocked out Chally are classified, so any pics you'd find of it would be from the deeper places of the net. I should also mention that the HESH round that hit the KO'd Chally actually only managed to KO it by luck, as apparently, the round sent 'hot fragments' towards the Chally's ammo stowage, detonating it, and blowing it up.

@paintgun, maybe I have terrible vision, but that prototype does not look 2.2 meters tall

via mpleio @mp.net (he reports it's a prototype)
driver hatch (and compartment) slightly off-center to the left? (as opposed to old centerline ZTZ-99)
hull escape hatch??

good front shot of the tank, very bulky turret

looks like a type 99a2 turret on a type 96 chassis

'Admission' from scale model makers? Really? That's surely scraping the bottom of barrel even for you...

the model likely built by the tank manufacturer were house in glass display case (northern mongolia tank plant) presented to the regional commander as display.
bustle same as as type-99,to small to house auto loader.

Speculation.

were house in glass display case (northern mongolia tank plant) presented to the regional commander as display.
bustle same as as type-99,to small to house auto loader.

And the display 'admitted' the technical difficulty? Where exactly did this 'admission' come from?

Seems every time someone presses you on one of your baseless claims, we get a lot of talk and misdirection, but precious little in the way of facts and sources...

The skirts dont seem to be much effective. Looks like they are rubber skirts, to protect from dust. Western/russian skirts are much more effective.

how could you prove it, a picture can be interpreted in a million ways.
