IDEX 2017: Chinese VT4 - Show debut

Nice! Looks to be a lighter version of the PLA's Type 99 MBT (50T vs 60T) with a different engine bay design...the missile guided projectiles are very impressive

[@humansvd3269]

Aur0ra12 Licensed by the Russians. Should be good because of that.

[@aa1944-k2r]

@@humansvd3269 Licensed by the Russians or not, this is something very good in theory but not really used in actual battlefield, the introduction of hard kill active protection would make these little missiles quite useless, so this really is a good to have in Russian and Chinese tanks and China has put most of their effort in developing new generation of APFSDS ammo instead.

lol pretty much any modern tank can take the hit from At-4 on the turret front, even old T54 with ERA added can handle that. HEAT war head is not that good vs modern armor, APFSDS is the challenging one.

Interesting because some guy above just said it looks like an abrams. but anyway, no version of T72 will compete with this, not even the latest T72B3M because they are generation apart. T90MS would be the closest competitor to the VT4 and I would say the T90MS is superior despite it is cheaper.

What sort of armor protection does it have, no mention there!

[@aa1944-k2r]

The standard would be to exceed all variants of T90 except T90MS, slightly worst/similar/slight better than T90MS (don't really know). Option to install active protection system would improve protection a lot.

[@MarktheRude]

And in the age where everyone and their mother seems to have ATGM's growing on their backyard, why would you buy this over T-90 if you had to buy a tank with a autoloader?

[@felicytatomaszewska]

Because it is simply better

[@danni8191]

Foreign users of newly made Chinese armor complained that the hulls were peeling from age. I think they're recycling older tanks.

[@isunlloaoll]

Older tanks from cold war Era probably, newer 21st century MBTS? I don't think so. This one costs a shit ton, not much cheaper than Western ones.

[@privtepic4884]

Foreign users of newly made Chinese armour ... Can you quote the source of this info, which country ?

[@aa1944-k2r]

one of the reason Thailand gave up the T84 Oplot is they found that the Ukrainian have difficulty to produce and deliver the tank and they used recycled parts from older T80 tanks for Thailand's order. And before the VT4 there is no foreign users of newly made Chinese armor, the only exception would be Sudan with their base model of type 96 tanks, which scored 4 T72 kills in a 2012 conflict. Do your homework.

[@tantemarianne1053]

because it IS A COPY

[@jeffkeith1198]

Konrad Ford; all too true but, the Ukrainian Malyshev company only delivered 25 of the 49 contracted for. Also, as it turns out a Chinese T-99 (an A2 I think) MBT busted a front road wheel right out of the hull at a bathalon with Russian T-80's or 90's something. Sorry, I really don't remember the details of the tank bathalon where this happened as I was in such shock. I remember not liking the looks of the T-99 hull casting, had never seen such and didn't even think it could happen. One would hazard a guess that they stick welded it back on, ground down the weld and painted it over till they can blame some private for the damage. Now everyone in the world knows how to demobilize any of these beast with anything from a 25 mm on up. Look out Gen. Chalermchai Sitthisart, (Commander-in-Chief) Royal Thai Army, you better check on what you're getting. All this leaving one to wonder what quality of steel this VT-4 scaled down export version of the T-99 might be using. For sure it would be something the Chinese ZPT98 125 mm main gun could shoot APFSDS through at 5,000 m. Another thing is that, I was wrong about the VT-4 employing a Renk automatic transmission as it has a Ch1000 series homemade in-house transmission. Gen. Chalermchai Sitthisart, you better melt down them Bulldogs and make your own VT-4's. The Renk EMS 350 transmission is a drop-in replacement for T-72 type tank transmissions. Maybe you should see if you can get Renk France and either Klimov or Honeywell to hook-up a turboshaft engine so you can have a real tank. Also a laser protected Stadiametric/Stereoscopic range finder with a very well trained in Technique of Fire would gunner would help more than anything to get the all-important first round kill.

[@qiyuxuan9437]

The one lost the wheel is a type 96B which is an upgraded version of type 96, the type 96 was a cheaper tank design to be mass produce, while type 99 was elite tank with pretty much everything better but more expensive to make, this VT4 is more like a lighter version of type 99A, they have the same type of engine

Jeff Keith The Oplot is a better tank than this.

[@qiyuxuan9437]

This tank has a more powerful engine, it is the original 1500hp engine used on the type-99A tank, but since this tank is lighter, it was reduced to 1200-1300hp to extended the lifespan, so if needed, this engine can output 1500hp without any changes.

I don't mean to be rude but China wouldn't get that far without Soviet/Russian technology. The VT-4 is based on the Al-Khalid, which is pretty much based on the Type 90 family and these tanks are clearly based on the T-72. China simply copied the T-72's hull back then. The 125mm smoothbore gun, the ATGM with a range of 5km, the auto-loader...the Soviet Union had it first, decades ago! And Norinco has the guts to claim their VT-4 is better than Russia's new T-14? I highly doubt that the VT-4 will keep up with a T-90M.

[@aa1944-k2r]

You start with VT4 being a copy of T72, then go on and compare the VT4 to the T90MS, which is the latest and most powerful model of T90, and you said Norinco has the guts to claim VT4 is better than the T14 (which they didn't). You are confused, proof read before posting.

But what exactly does the Philippines make? Compare Chinese cities with Filipino cities, Chinese schools, hospitals, airports, factories, housing projects, etc with those of the Philippines.
