Interesting remake of the Romanian T72 with additional refinements and a modified clone of a Ukrainian engine.

These are probably meant for use during their frequent military coup d’états rather than for battle, where manned armored tanks are now obsolete. A tank is a sitting duck for a swarm of fast moving drones.

I'd bet these tanks cannot be kept in the field due to constant breakdowns.
A Chinese designed and built turbo diesel and auto transmission.
Simply laughable...even if it can target and shoot.

Unfortunately, each tank will arrive in 4,782 small boxes, with incomprehensible instructions, quite a few extra or unidentifiable parts, and a 10mm wrench made of stamped pot metal.

How much of Thailand could even be considered “tank country?” Other than the capital/cities, where could the roads, bridges, and terrain support a big MBT?

Ingenious way to enable the Chinese to base their tanks in Thailand.
