I bet those Chinese tanks are difficult to move. Aren't they supposed to have a 155 mm gun? When the M1A1s were moved from Germany to Kuwait, they had to be shipped from Germany to Spain due to limitations on the weight on some bridges and inability to clear the tunnels through the Alps. The Chinese tankes are significantly larger, and Chinese infrastructure is not as good as European infrastructure. I think they'd have significant problems moving a tank around that is significantly larger than an M1A1.
I agree, Chinese tanks will be difficult to move ...
after they have been shot up and are "brewing up" cooking off all their ammo....
We need night lights, and what better to light up the night sky than a division or two of Chinese tanks set alight stopped dead in their tracks, eh?
There is little reliable info on China developing a tank with a 155mm gun.It's all been bits & pieces & honestly,I give it scant credibility as a tank with a 155mm serves no greater purpose than a heavily armoured SPH.From what I've seen,most Chinese tanks are a reflection of the Soviet medium tank concept & are in the range of the T-72 & T-80.Their main tank is the Type-88/96 series(built to compete against the T-72) ,backed up by obsolete T-59s.Their most modern tank is the Type-98,which weighs around 50 tonnes & like the Type-88/90,both have a 125 mm smootbore gun.These tanks are all far lighter(& fuel efficient) than a M1 & are far more mobile unless you are talking about sea transportation.The Chinese also have modified Type-63 amphibious tanks(27 tonnes +105mm gun) & you could expect these to be in the front line if they invade Taiwan.
