99B
Allegedly a new variant under development for urban warfare. The question is: are the 99B and the next-generation MBT the same thing?

Of course not. The next gen will be fully electric: electric drive, electric/magnetic gun and electric armour protection.

Apparently not, as the next-gen Chinese MBT is projected to weigh roughly ~40 tons. The ZTZ-99B will likely incorporate a hard-kill APS, RWS, and a TUSK-like apparatus, although other upgrades to its armament and engines cannot be ruled out.

China's KLJ-7A AESA radar has 1,000 transmit/receive modules (TRM). This means it is equivalent to the F-16 Block 60 AESA radar in the number of transmit/receive modules.

KLJ-7A: PROPOSED AESA RADAR FOR JF-17 UNDERGOING TESTS | Quwa (November 21, 2017)
"CCTV News footage shows that the Nanjing Research Institute of Electronics Technology (NRIET) KLJ-7A is undergoing tests with the China Flight Test Establishment’s 711 unit.
...
In comparison to current-generation mechanically-steered radars, AESA radars provide key defensibility gains against electronic warfare (EW) jamming and enemy radar detection. Instead of relying on a single array that transmits a different frequency per-single-pulse, AESA radars utilize many arrays – i.e. transmit and receive modules (TRM) – that can each transmit in a different frequency. In unison, these TRMs enable a single AESA radar unit to transmit in different frequencies simultaneously.
East Pendulum was informed by NRIET deputy director Wang Hongzhe that the KLJ-7A has a range of 170 km, though it is unclear if this is against 5m² RCS (radar cross-section) or 3m² RCS targets. It can track 15 targets and engage four simultaneously. Though equipped with 1,000 TRMs, it is not known if the KLJ-7A’s TRMs are built from gallium arsenide (GaA) or gallium nitride (GaN)."

There goes the hundreds of billions spent down the drain...
Should sell some to Syria and NK.Similar threads
