Dont be fooled by the term TOT. It just teaches you how to make the hull and those simple mechanism. Main gun secret, engine and system will still need to be import.
TOT is a very loose term. Indian brag about how Russian allow TOT of AL-31FP engine for their Su-30MKI and yet they still can't make a simple Kaveri engine? How much has Indian absorbed from those TOT?
You seriously believe Russian allow real TOT for their engine?
Same as China term for TOT. The Turkish FD-2000 deal collapse becos China refused the crucial TOT wanted by Turkey defence. Chinese are no idiots. The real idiots are those who think TOT from other country is some magic formula.
The pathetic Russian tank even needs to jam brake to get their shot together and some still missed the stationery shot.
While Chinese Type96A continue to maintain steady speedy speed to knockout all targets on move.
In the end, Chinese tank did not win the competition becos Russian cheat by awarding high percentage to racing while little percentage on shooting. Plus they put a 1100HP engine on their T-72 for competition while Chinese used an real operation type96A(800HP engine) with no modification to enter the contest. Of cos, we let the Russian won. They are the host and let them have some face.
