The Central Theater of China has recently released information about the 99A tanks conducting day and night training.
In the dark night environment, there is no reference object in the shooting area. In order to improve the shooting level of the shooters, the brigade makes full use of the advantages of the new equipment. With the assistance of infrared night vision and low-light night vision, the crew can find the target in time in the dark night conditions, to carry out precise strikes and destruction.
According to the report, the training was carried out by a tank unit of a certain brigade of the 81st Army. The 155mm self-propelled howitzers of the Army had recently conducted actual combat training on the Tibetan Plateau to deter India.
The Type 99A tank was reported to have appeared on the front line of the confrontation between China and India in February and demonstrated its excellent maneuverability in the plateau environment at the last moment of the withdrawal of troops from China and India.
It is also reported that the troops in this report were equipped with Type 99A main battle tanks by 2018 at the latest, and received a batch of new Type 99A tanks in July last year.
