BEIJING, July 18 (Xinhua) -- More than 400 people from the Army are departing for Moscow and Novosibirsk in Russia for the International Army Games, according to the army staff.

Participants will take part in 14 competitions, said the source, adding that they were well prepared in terms of physical condition, skills and tactics.

The games aim to share experiences and improve the training of troops.

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.

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.

In addition, I have also noticed that the positioning of the track wheels are differently arranged on the two tanks. With the Type 96 tanks, you can see that the first four wheels of each track (from back to front) are in close proximity of each other, after that there are noticeable gaps between the fourth, fifth and sixth track wheels.

The track wheels on a Type 99 are arranged more evenly. In this case, both the first and last two track wheels are positioned close to each other, whereas the third and fourth wheels (the two wheels in the middle) wheels have very noticeable spaces between them.

Chinese military officers arrived in Russia on Friday to participate in the upcoming International Army Games 2018. The army will exhibit advanced H-6K bombers, J-10A fighters, JH-7A fighter-bombers, and IL-76 and Y-9 transport aircraft at the competitions.

This is the first time that the H-6K bombers and Y-9 transport aircraft have been brought abroad to participate in an international military competition, said a spokesperson for the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) Air Force, according to Xinhua.

The H-6K is a domestically-developed intermediate and long-range bomber. It has carried out patrols around the East China Sea, South China Sea and Taiwan Straits since its first debut in March 2015, said the Xinhua report.

The games will kick off on July 28. First initiated by the Russian Ministry of Defense, the games are now co-organized by seven countries including China, Russia, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Iran.

Hundreds of Chinese officers will join the games, and they will take part in 16 competitions in Russia, according to the China Military website.

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.

The Chinese army has been invited to the annual competition since 2014. Soldiers told thepaper.cn that they think the games are close to real battle conditions and are quite useful.
