TR Altay Main Battle Tank & Related Programs

China's new-type tanks are no longer just assault fortresses, but systematic and intelligent combat platforms. Through such platforms, the tanks' battlefield awareness capabilities and active defense capabilities are greatly enhanced and improved.
The destruction of the enemy's main battle tanks is mainly accomplished through beyond-visual-range (BVR) means—just like the J-10C shooting down the Rafale—destroying the enemy tanks before they are detected.

Here is the pure genuine Chinese MBT!
Weights 40 tonnes and has just 105mm gun!! Why?
Because the Chinese analyzed very well data from Ukrainian war.

Today:
*Tank on tank combats are exceedingly rare.
*105mm AP rounds velocity is good.
* Punching armor is not job of MBTs.
* Destroying fortifications is main job!!
* Armor is typically used to dislodge infantry from citys.
*Bigger, slower, louder giant platform have shown to be vulnerable!
I absolutely agree and we also should focus on 40 ton medium tanks.

Just 2 tank crew, most works are AI delegated , a lot of sensors etc. Here is the new ERA.

Frankly speaking China does not just have medium tanks with 105 mm, their MBT inventory still mainly consists of Type 99A, Type 99, Type 96A, Type 96, 88, 79, 59

they already had medium tanks before the Ukrainian war since their geography dictates also a need for medium tanks but sure this does not mean that they are not getting leasons from Ukrainian war... for instance their latest tank models failed to achieve the desired results during exercises because of inadequate traning levels of tank crews

Regarding Russo-Ukrania War, Some points, I must agree but some others not so much.

And lets not forget that they‘ve been setting up an agile landing force on Taiwan. and from what I read latter’s tank and armor force is in abysmal condition.
