Sure bro. And the JF17 is superior to F22 too.

counter with fact, not one liner..how is the T90S better when it is inferior in every aspect, fire power, engine, reactive armor, situational awareness.

so these Chinese tanks and artillery deployment/buildup is in Ladakh? if China was to take over parts of Ladakh and cut the Darbuk-Shyokh-Daulat Beg Oldie (DSDBO) road, how does it impact Pakistan if it too went to war with India at the same time?

It's a very accurate viduslization if the tanks are chinese. They're pretty much made of cardboard anyway.

How come Chinese tanks beat your Indian tanks every single time? what are Indian tanks made of?

The tank biathlon is a mechanised military sport event promoted by the Russian military with some similarities to the winter sport of biathlon. It utilizes the complex training of tank crews including their rough terrain passing skills combined with the ability to provide accurate and rapid fire while performing maneuvers.

Meh.....We have tanks, trucks and artillery too...

You had those in 1962 . The rest is history.

In the plateau area, the elevation rises by 1000 meters, and the power of tank engine decreases by 9%.Above 4000 meters above the Sino-Indian border, tank power is reduced by 36%.
The T90 will be a live target at high altitude area.
T90 20.4 hp/tonne
99 tank 28hp/tonne
15 tank 28.7 hp/tonne
And the 15 tank has an additional boost specifically designed for the plateau, further reducing power loss.

so we'll import more. Surely it's not the chinese people who pay for our tanks. So that should not pinch you. Right now the discussion is on theatre deployment. We got T-90s againt your junk tanks. You can't counter them.

Lol, you can call our tanks junk or whatever, at least we are confident enough to use it despite having the opportunity to import tanks from Russia. What about you? Why aren't you using your supadupa Arjunk? By the time your replacement tanks arrive, the war would have been over genius. Lololol

The Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) has deployed its most powerful tank, the Type 99A, in the high-altitude border frontier at Karakoram Mountain, with supplies to celebrate the Spring Festival arriving in the hands of PLA border defense troops, recent media reports said.

To let Chinese troops stationed in the border defense frontier in the Karakoram Mountain enjoy a festive and warm Spring Festival, the PLA Xinjiang Military Command recently dispatched a transport regiment to deliver festive foods to the frontline troops, China Central Television (CCTV) reported on Wednesday.

In the CCTV footage showing the defense frontier base camp at an altitude of more than 5,000 meters, a Type 99A main battle tank and a Type 04A infantry fighting vehicle could be seen, Passion News, a media outlet under k618.cn, a news portal run by the Communist Youth League of China Central Committee, reported on Thursday.

Reports said that the PLA Xinjiang Military Command recently received and commissioned its first batch of China's newly developed Type 15 light tanks, which analysts said would complement the heavy Type 99A and become good partners in combat.

The Type 99A is China’s most powerful main battle tank with excellent firepower and armor, while the Type 15 is China’s latest light tank with high mobility, a military expert told the Global Times on the condition of anonymity.

In high-altitude mountainous regions, the operation of the heavy Type 99A main battle tank could be limited due to the lack of oxygen and complicated terrains, but their sheer power remains decisive, the expert said, noting that the Type 15 light tank could outgun and outrun almost all enemies, and in case it were to encounter a hostile heavy tank, the Type 99A will have its back.

Plateau troops attached to PLA Xinjiang Military Command recently also received delivery of the first batch of newly developed identification tags for military personnel, according to a separate CCTV report on Wednesday.

The tag is not only carved with basic information including name, gender and blood type of each person, but also has a chip inside that carries digital information like a finger print, and allergy and injury history, and the troops can use them when seeking medical support and accommodation, the report said.

The troops will also get watches equipped with the Beidou Navigation Satellite System that can be used in search and rescue missions and to monitor vital signs, Liu Weicheng, head of logistics support section of the troops, said on CCTV.

Tanks in the photo are much older Type-99 tanks.

Above is older Type-99 and below is the latest Type-99A.

Sure bro. And the JF17 is superior to F22 too.

JF17 doesn't need to be superior to F22, better than TEJAS is enough.

nope. We didn't have enough of those.

then you had enough foolishness，lol

It's been almost a year since the confrontation and the most impressive thing that any Indian tanks have done is crawl up and down a mountain trail.
