Seems to be 120mm ammunition for a Chinese 120mm smoothbore gun used on that tank destroyer. Old design, APFSDS ammunition for that thing represent first half of 1980's level.

You are right. The above Chinese description says that these ammunitions were tested from 1979-1981.

I couldn't find the picture of the latest 120mm APFSDS. Here are some ammunition in other caliber.

125mm, 100mm, 105mm

Re: New light tank for operating on the Tibetan Plateau

In wars, light tanks have low survival ability.

So,are these basically for internal security?

Re: New light tank for operating on the Tibetan Plateau

The much heavier Arjuns are totally useless in mountainous regions。:rofl:
If on the plateau, then it is material!

Re: New light tank for operating on the Tibetan Plateau

Very less information to do a discussion


he said for operating in Plateau, may be for internal law and order :noidea:
Tanks moving through the narrow confines of the passes into India would be suicidal.

Light tanks moving through the passes would be plums for the picking by anti tank teams located on the sides mountains.

One tank down would mean the column becoming static.

Then it is 4th of July!

Likewise, if India pushes through light tanks and then makes a foray on the Tibetan Plateau, they will be made mincemeat of!

I have seen the Plateau, and it is ideal tank country!

But from the Indian standpoint to bring MBTs is the challenge.

Of course not, it is so stealthy that no Chinese anti-tank weapon can even spot them.
Apparent;ly, you haven't the foggiest about tanks or warfare.

Please do not clutter this thread with juvenile irrelevance.

Re: New light tank for operating on the Tibetan Plateau

You dont need to be an expert on tanks to point out that India dont have a comparable light tank.

I am sure this tank will be useful in Tibet.
You seem to be a military illiterate.

There is no distinction now of tank.

Bone up and not act an imbecile!

Re: New light tank for operating on the Tibetan Plateau

Anyway I think light tank is more useful than heavy tank in the mountain or highland. It will use less oil and more easy to climb the incline.
