Zitat:China is building a wheeled tank destroyer based on its wheeled Type-90 Infantry Fighting Vehicle. This vehicle looks like a lighter (12.5 tons) version of the twenty ton U.S. Stryker. The Chinese tank destroyer will use their 105mm gun, and ammo similar to that used in NATO standard 105mm tank guns. The tank destroyer would weigh 19 tons, have a four man crew, carry 30 rounds of ammo, and also be armed with a 7.62mm and a 12.7mm machine-gun. China plans to use these vehicles with its new Light Mechanized Infantry Divisions, which are similar to the American Stryker brigades, only on a divisional scale. This new type division would be highly mobile, but would not consume as much fuel as a unit using heavier tanks.
Zitat:China is testing a 140mm gun on one its Type 98 tanks, and has released photos of test firings. Other countries have been investigating this sort of weapon, especially in the 1980s and 1990s. But no one has adopted the larger weapon for their tanks, mainly because the Russian “super tank” (equipped with a 152mm gun) that was supposed to justify it never appeared (when the Cold War ended). [...]:frag: hat jemand nähere informationen / bilder von diesem neuen jagdpanzer bzw. über die neuen "light mechanized infantry division"? handelt es sich um das gleiche fahrzeug wie dieses: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.sinodefence.com/army/antitank/wheeledatgun.asp">http://www.sinodefence.com/army/antitan ... datgun.asp</a><!-- m -->?
