Ever read news said type99A MBT has the bursting diaphragm of ammo storage at back of turret, but not see photo yet. T-72's ammo storage & autoloader at bottom of the chassis, type99A as similar as most West MBT their ammo storage at back of the turret.:-)

There is Indonesian member, in indonesian military forum ask me about that matter.

Thanks so much bro @cnleio
 
Sorry for late replay.This is my personal opinion,based on what i have seen and
read on the internet.
That ammo storage on Type 99A2 or T-90 is for extra ammo,main ammo is in autoloader,and on Abrams its
main storage and some in the hull.T-90MS example:

If autoloader is breach,and powder charge is ignited simultaneously turret will be blown off,but if any thank is hit from side of ammo storage it will cook off.
Example:
T-72 ammo cook off
Abrams cook off
Autoloader on T-72:
2A46M Autoloader: T-72 model

I just remember last year in 2014, ever read a official article introduce the type99A MBT designed ammo storage in back of turret, sorry too long time can't find where the article now. Yes the type99A MBT also install autoloader ... the article mentioned it but it's the new-designed for type99A different with original autoloader on type99/type96 MBT.

Anyways the autoloader is a complex component, although reduce ammo load time but still add some risk ... most West MBT without autoloader, they add one human loader to replace autoloader and put all ammo inside back of MBT's turret. Not a big deal for Russia or China tanks, just adding a new member for tank crew to remove the autoloader inside tank.

Autoloader is the way to go for future MBT, French Leclerc,Korea K2, Japanese Type10 and newest M1A3 also introduce autoloader. Its a matter of time, Germany, British will also introduce autoloader.

Autoloader reduces the overall tank dimension and weight, meaning more areas allow the lighter weight MBT to go area or bridges that has restricted weight. It allow heavy gun to install in future (130mm or 140mm gun) since the heavier rds will prove to heavy for human loader to handle. Burn less fuel and allow more type of transport aircraft to carry ferry them area.

Autoloader is a double-edged sword ... kill enemy or blow u up ! For those 130mm or 140mm gun MBT,it's better install autoloader inside no choice.

I think, with the size of Type 99A2 Turret, it will make sense if Type 99A2 have ammo bustle in back of turret.

Autoloader in Main battle tanks is very good, most latest tank today use Autoloader System. Like Type 99A2, Type 10 MBT Japan, Lecrec France.
But, the Problem is. Some western media says Type99A2 have ammo storage in Hull. so, if war happen, and if it Penetrated by Enemy ammo. It will be easy to Blown up and cook of, like Syrian T-72. the conclusion is Type 99A2 MBT is Vulnerable. That's what, some western media say.

But, I believe Type 99A2 have Ammo bustle in back of his turret.
I am really glad and happy of that. cause that will make Type 99A2 MBT much more safer. :-)

Thanks.
