I wonder where their technology came from? That fire control looks some what familiar.

A lot of Chinese believe that, on paper, it's new Type 99 tank is a match for the American M-1. For protection, the Type 99 has 500-600mm or armor, plus two layers of reactive armor, giving it the equivalent of 1,000-1,200mm of armor. China believes the maximum penetration of the M-1 120mm gun is 810mm. China believes that the protection on the M-1 is 600-700mm, and states that the Type 99 main gun can penetrate 850mm (or 950mm with a new shell design.)

Hey guys.. if you think the kluge of layers of reactive armor make you an M1 killer you seem to forger that a layers of reactive armor can be added to the M1 just as easy
