Count on the Daily Mail to misidentify Infantry Fighting Vehicles as tanks. But the new IFV seems to have a large caliber gun for the class.

What are the specs on these new vehicles with respect to crushing dissenters?

Evidently, the Chinese don’t intend to go hull down.

Was really hoping to see some authentically monstrous tanks.

These are two slab-sided APCs, not even field-prepped.

Would it kill the Chinese to develop an Ogre Mk IV?

Gimme a few of these bad boys and I'll take them to the Three Gorges dam:

The vehicle in the front looks to me to actually be a self-propelled artillery piece ... doesn’t it? The turret is awfully far to the rear of the vehicle to be a tank ... not much ability to sit at the military crest and fire downhill, is there?

The tan one looks like an IFV, the green one like some kind of SP gun.

These represent a threat to....Russia, and maybe India. It’ll be interesting to see how Mr. Putin responds.

Interesting C19.

Just as China built this giant-world's largest dam now they are building the largest tank. Almost all dictatorships focus their attention on glory projects.

Just as the Nazis made huge tanks that were too large for the unimproved roads and bridges that compromised most of Europe, China is making the same mistake....go figure.

Modern tank theory demands that you need to be as low-profile as possible. These big square boxes are TOW bait.

China keeps North Korea around so they have someone to feel superior to... That’s really all we need to know about the psychology of China’s ‘leaders’.

Actually getting them to Taiwan will be more than a small problem.
