The ZTZ-99A is comparable to the Russian T-90M Breakthrough, the German Leopard 2A6M, the Israeli Merkava Mk.4M, the South Korean K2 Black Panther, and the American M1A2 SEP “Abrams” in terms of performance and battle characteristics. The 99s are being upgraded to the ZTZ-99A now. In contrast to most other tanks of the third generation (according to a different classification, fourth), the Chinese were able to produce about 1000 ZTZ 99 tanks, a significant number. The design was based on the Soviet T-72 tank. In 1999, China displayed the Type-99 main combat tank based on a failed variant of the Type-98 tank. The main battle tank (MBT) ZTZ 99, also known as Type 99, is the crown jewel of Chinese tank manufacturing. Because imitation is the only strategy that is likely to be successful during the process of establishing a new market, this behaviour is not shameful. The Chinese government has explored all possible avenues to create copies of the world’s most sophisticated armaments and military hardware. Compared to the most prominent armament producers worldwide, the Chinese tank construction sector is still in its infancy.
