JINAN, July 12 (Xinhua) -- The Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) air force will send H-6K bombers, J-10A fighters, JH-7A fighter-bombers, IL-76 and Y-9 transport aircraft, and a team of airborne troops to Russia to participate in the International Army Games.

The International Army Games 2018, initiated by the Russian Ministry of Defense, will start on July 28. It is co-organized by China, Russia, Belarus, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Armenia, and Iran.

It will be the first time that H-6K bombers and Y-9 transport aircraft have gone abroad to take part in military competitions, a spokesperson for the PLA Air Force said at a press conference.

The H-6K, a domestically-developed intermediate and long-range bomber, has flown over the Bashi Channel and Miyako Strait and carried out patrols around the East China Sea, South China Sea, and Taiwan since it made its debut in March 2015.

Participation in the International Army Games is an effective way to improve fighting capabilities under real combat conditions, said the PLA air force spokesperson, adding the troops will strengthen military training and war-preparedness to improve their ability to safeguard China's sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Silly question, are these tanks 99A2?

Type 96B

 

[GeraltofRivia]

Type 96B

Thanks. That makes sense. I am still struggled to distinguish between 96b and 99a2.

ZTZ-99A

 

[lcloo]

Thanks. That makes sense. I am still struggled to distinguish between 96b and 99a2.

There are some visual difference which we can distiguish a Type 99 and Type 96.

First is the driver's position - Type 99's driver position is at the middle, while Type 96 driver sits at the left hand side.

Second it the top of the gun turret, Type 99 has many instruments on top, a significant one is the laser defence device, and type 96's turret top is much simplified with less instrument installed.

Third is the side view of the tank, type 99 has a "slope" chasis, lower in the front and higher at the back, type 96's chasis side view is nearly horizontal.
