    Please add more content about the Chinese military because it is very rarely discussed, most of what is discussed is only about the NATO and Russian military, so in-depth Chinese military content is really very valuable.

      I'm sure people would love to see more info about Chinese military weaponry, gear, vehicles, tanks, fighters, tec. Problem is most of it is difficult to find and obtain given heavy censorship and information control from the CCP. Not to mention the difficulty of translating any Chinese info or intel sources to English and other lingua franca languages like French and Spanish

    I think Chinese AFVs are pretty decent but the reason why some of their stuff get sales is because they often have no to little strings attached and at an affordable price. The Chinese government subsidized its military industry quite substantially with cheap materials and direct subsidies to manufacturers to reduce the cost of equipment.

      @@jussi8111 every military equipment that China produces is from a state-owned entity like Norinco which they subsidize heavily.
      It may look cheap on the price tag but China sold them usually at a loss or break even to the Chinese economy, they do this to infiltrate the market for low cost AFVs so they could create future customers who would be dependent on China for military hardware.
      This method works in the short term but it disincentivized growth and innovation as Norinco has no incentive to innovate so they could make a profit like Lockheed Martin does, that means China would just be stuck playing catchup to the United States or resorting to espionage which could damage the Chinese technological growth in the military sector even further.

Northern Industry is a state-owned enterprise, and the equipment sold to the People's Liberation Army does not consider any profit. Plus, artificial materials are cheap. It is reasonable for equipment of the same quality to be 3-5 times cheaper than in the West. Western military industrial enterprises are private enterprises that aim to make money. For the same screw, the cost of labor and materials in China is $1, and the cost of transportation in China is $1. It costs $2 to produce a screw in the United States, but the United States also adds $500 in profit. Do you understand? clown?

    another thing to mention here, PTL-02 is a artillery weapon, it is operated by brigade artillery campany, the later replace of PTL-02 is AFT-10 heavy antitank missile loaded on different chassis, however ZTL-11 is a armored weapon, it is used by tank company of brigade, it is used as wheeled light tank, it is a direct replace of legacy type 59/62/69/88 tank in older tank division, it will be replaced by either another wheeled tank or ZTQ-15 light tank in the future

      Z means armored weapon, ZSL92 which use same chassis of PTL-02, is consider to be a APC, in fact, ZSL is wheeled APC, Soviet BTR also means wheeled APC in Russian
      in 90s, PLA start to replace all APC with IFV, the ZSL92 was just in the middle, and ZSL92 is also the last APC of PLA
      the ZBL-08 is wheeled IFV, and the warrior 4x4 high mobility vehicle which more like a APC, are now being equiped with a remote control little turret, which makes it feels more and more like a little IFV
      the age of APC is gone😢

      Russia doesnt need wheeled tank destroyers as nations who use wheeled platforms most likely have to rely on their roads and bridges to transport heavy equipment. Russia relies on its rail network instead so they would get more bang for their buck by staying with a more effective tracked chassis.
      Japan developed the Type 16 because it cant carry the Type 10 and Type 90 across all the bridges in Japan. South Africa developed the Rooikat because aside from there being barely any rail network in South Africa, the environmental conditions in South Africa allow the ground to remain dry and solid for the most part but it cannot support that much weight so they went for wheeled tanks to limit the ground pressure. Italy developed the Centauro because of similar reasons with Japan, not all the bridges in Italy can support the weight of the Ariete.

    It baffles me that China made an export variant that has ammunition compatibility with the rest of its military but doesn’t have the same ability with its domestic variant. It’s the same thing how Chinese export tanks have better side protection than their own vehicles. I’ve never seen a domestic Chinese tank with side ERA, but export tanks like VT-5 have been seen with their entire sides covered. I get that they haven’t actually used these tanks in a conflict so there’s no pressing need, but not a single domestic example in the public eye is just so strange.
