sadly cannot test it in South China Sea
The quoted Jap article is saying that the Chinese VT-4 has already surpassed the Russian T-14 in reliability, esp in turret performance, and is now on par with the American M1A2 Abrams and German Leopard 2, but cheaper.
"Reliable chink stuff" is an oxymoron.
Not for the tank, but no one in the region except the Nips have the naval strength to match China. All the other Asian countries' fleet of sampans can't even do anything about the pirates in the region. They however should not be alarmed by China's growth. Her armed forces are just keeping abreast with the rest of the country's development, China is not a warmonger.
Cheers!
can the SG Leopard 2 Tanks smash this PRC invention?
chink in the armor - vulnerable weakness in a suit of armor that can lead to the demise of the wearer.

never mind kill,China tanks will kill US tanks by price point alone.even if the Chinese build a tank thats only half as good as M1 or merkava but can manufacture 10 of them for every one of M1 made.
