- Description
- The ZTZ99A (Type 99A) is a Main Battle Tank and the most capable variant of China’s Type 99 family, introduced in the 2010s with a new powerpack, improved armour, and a fully digital fire control system. It remains in service as one of the People’s Liberation Army’s premier heavy tanks. Operated by a crew of three on a tracked chassis weighing 55 tonnes, it is powered by an HP150 diesel producing 1,500 horsepower for a 27.3 hp/t power-to-weight ratio and a top speed of 75 km/h forward (34 km/h reverse).
The main armament is a stabilized 125mm Type 99A smoothbore fed by an autoloader (22 rounds ready, 17 in the hull), with a coaxial 5.8mm QJT and a commander’s 12.7mm QJC88A machine gun. The gunner has a laser rangefinder, fire control system with lead and tracking, and Gen 3 white thermals; the commander has a separate sight with laser and thermals. The vehicle is fitted with a laser warning system, missile approach warning system, smoke grenades, and an engine smoke system.
