WW3, Vehicle I-D: China’s Type 96A/B & Type 96

Type 96A/B:

Type 96A, People’s Liberation Army 77th Group Army photo, 04DEC2022.

Sometimes  a fuel/oil tank is carried on the top of the left rear hull/fender.  It can also carry long range fuel drums on its rear.

In August 2022, China took second place in the Tank Biathlon and Masters of Armored Vehicles, during Russia’s International Army Games, using their Type 96B.  The International Army Games were held on the territories of 12 countries, including China, Russia and Iran, with more than 270 teams from 37 countries competing.

The Type 96B has a remote controlled 12.7mm heavy machine gun on top of the turret, which is not always mounted. The Type 96A is up-armored with armor blocks, and upgraded gun sights. The Type 96 series uses a 125mm main gun.  The ‘skirt’ gets shorter with each new generation of Type 96, the Type 96B being the shortest (sometimes they go ‘naked’).

CGTN video, first round of Tank Biathlon, 15AUG2022, revealing that the remote controlled 12.7mm can also be fired manually:

The Type 96A/B has a turret very similar to the VT4, VT5, and Type 99 tanks.  The hull evolved from the Soviet/Russian T-54/55.  The roadwheels are uniquely Chinese, and unlike the T-54/55 the track is supported.  The Type 96B has more streamlined looking fenders, than the Type 96A, the two exhaust ports are closer together as well and not as obvious as on the Type 96A.

From a distance the Type 96A/B looks much like the old Cold War era NATO-West German Leopard 1A4.

The Chinese started with the T-54/55 hull, then got radical by replacing the unsupported track system with a supported track (the track-links themselves are the same), and replacing the manually loaded main gun with the auto-loading 125mm from a T-72.

The turret of the Type 96 is shaped different from that on the Type 96A/B, especially on the front.

World War Three Vehicle I-D: CHINA’S TYPE 99A AND TYPE 99

WW3, Vehicle I-D: China’s Type 99A and Type 99

Type 99A:

People’s Liberation Army photo by He Rui, late January 2023.

Track shoes/pads are removable, on the Type 99A. PLA photo by He Rui, late January 2023.

It has been confused with the export only tanks VT1 and VT4, and the lightweight high altitude tank VT5.  Sometimes it is called ZTZ-99A. The Type 99A is an radical evolution of the Type 99.  The Type 99 is based on the Soviet/Russian T-72, it began service in 2001.

T-72 style roadwheels and small exhaust ports on both sides of the Type 99A.

The Type 99A has the driver’s position slightly offset from center of the front of the hull, and has two periscopes, the Type 99 has only one T-72 style periscope for the driver and the position is centered.  Other Chinese tanks with similar looking turrets (like the Type 96B) have driver’s positions that are offset from center, on the driver’s left side, revealing they were originally based on the T-54/55.

CGTN video explaining the Type 96A, from August 2020:

 In 2011, China began slowly replacing the Type 99 with the Type 99A, however, it wasn’t publicly revealed until 2015.

The exhaust ports on the Type 99A are set further back than the Type 99, due to a new powerpack (motor/transmission).  The powerpack for the older Type 99 was reportedly developed by NATO-Germany.  The headlights on the Type 99 sit higher up on the front slope than the Type 99A.  The front tow hooks on the Type 99 sit on the upper front slope, below the headlights, while the tow hooks of the Type 99A are mounted on the lower front slope, inline with the headlights.

Biden’s Borderland: USCG now airdropping food to Boat People, as Mexicans continue stealing fish from the U.S. food supply!

Welcome to borderland hell under U.S. President Joseph Robinette Biden Junior, incomplete (just the tip of the iceberg) list of videos and reports from the United States Coast Guard (USCG) about the increasing flood of boat people from Bahamas, Cuba, and Haiti, and the increasing illegal fishing operations by Mexico, for January 2023:

On 04JAN2023, the U.S. Coast Guard reported returning 75 illegals to their home country of Cuba. But wait, there is more: 08JAN2023, 273 illegals from Cuba were sent home! On 10JAN2023, 187 illegals were shipped back to Cuba! Then, on 12JAN2023, 177 illegals were sent back to Cuba!  On 18JAN2023, 82 illegals were returned to Cuba. 90 illegals were sent back to Cuba on 20JAN2023.

U.S. Civil War, 2023: Idaho says yes to a Greater Idaho! New taxpayer burden?

21 February 2023 (00:08-UTC-07 Tango 06) 02 Esfand 1401/30 Rajab 1444/02 Jia-Yin(2nd month) 4721/21 февраля 2023 года

The concept of a Greater Idaho actually came out of Oregon, in 2019.  Many rural Oregonians were tired of being dictated to by the woke-folk in Salem. Finally, on 15FEB2023, the Idaho House of Representatives voted yes to a Greater Idaho!  The HJM-1 bill authorizes talks with Oregon about a huge swath of Eastern Oregon becoming part of Idaho!

It should be noted that many Army National Guard units located in Oregon are actually part of the Idaho Army National Guard’s 116th Cavalry Brigade Combat Team!

To date, eleven counties in Oregon have voted to secede to Idaho!  The decision by Idaho politicians to vote in favor of a Greater Idaho came after the Claremont Institute published an economic survey that was supportive of a Greater Idaho, and that it would actually ease Oregon’s budgetary woes.  It turns out that the average person’s income, in the areas of Oregon that want to defect to Idaho, is much less than those Oregonians in the Northwestern corner of The Beaver State.

WW3 Vehicle I-D: NORINCO’s drone carrying VT4A1 Battle Tank

Photo via NORINCO.

NORINCO’s VT4 battle tank was first unveiled in 2007.  It has a 125mm main-gun, and looks like the VT5 (as well as the Type 99A).  The VT5 (aka Type 15, ZTQ-15) is a smaller lightweight tank for operations at high altitude.  Recently, NORINCO unveiled the latest model of the VT4, the VT4A1.

Image taken from CGTN video, 07NOV2022.

The VT4A1 has an onboard drone that extends the battlefield observation of the tank crew to 10 kilometers.  It is vertically mounted, next to the wind sensor on top of the turret.

Image taken from CGTN video, 07NOV2022.

It also has anti-tank missile detectors on the sides of the turret.  The 125mm gun is enhanced by the use of new types of rounds fired from the gun.

Hour long CGTN report, from 06NOV2022, which starts off explaining the new VT4A1:

I have not found any People’s Liberation Army videos or photos of any Chinese units actually using the VT4, it appears to be an export only tank, so far with Pakistan the only customer.

Pakistan received its first VT4s in 2020, then placed an order for more VT4s in 2022, and is considering license building them.

The BRDM-2MS has the latest gun-sight systems, allowing it to fight at night and in bad weather.  It has a 14.5mm KPVT heavy machine gun with a coaxial 7.62mm PKT light machine gun.  They are stabilized and can hit targets while on-the-move.

Photo via Ministry of Defense Republic of Serbia, January 2023.

The BRDM-2MS is up-armored with side plates 6mm thick and rated to stops bullets up to 12.7mm (.50 caliber).  The frontal plates are rated to stop 14.5mm bullets.  Anti-mine armor has been added to the floor of the vehicle.

Pandemic Perfidy: Biden to make taxpayers pay for m-R-N-A patent violations! Was this the secret deal to keep Moderna Pandemic shots ‘free’?

18 February 2023 (10:10-UTC-07 Tango 06) 29 Bahman 1401/27 Rajab 1444/28 Jia-Yin 4721/18 февраля 2023 года

To add insult to the massive adverse reaction injury caused by Pandemic Mandated mRNA vaccines, U.S. President Joseph Robinette Biden Junior’s Department of Justice (DoJ) assured Moderna that taxpayers will cover the result of the mRNA patent lawsuit from Arbutus Biopharma and Genevant Sciences!

Specifically, DoJ attorneys told a federal court in Delaware that the U.S. taxpayer should be held responsible for any patent violations by Moderna!!!

It should be noted that Moderna made the same ‘it’s the taxpayers’ fault’ argument last year!  It should also be noted that the DoJ’s sudden claim that taxpayers should fund the outcome of the patent lawsuit comes right after the Biden administration made a deal with Moderna to cancel the planned $110 to $130 per Pandemic mRNA dose (never mind that the ‘woke’ news media loves to credit Bernie Sanders for the Moderna price deal) , once taxpayer funding of Pandemic vaccines ends!

In November 2021, the U.S. National Institutes of Health claimed co-ownership of Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine patent:

The federal government has complex rules, regulations and laws regarding the sale of crops/livestock that have been affected by contaminated water.  Amazingly, simple flooding caused by seasonal meltwater, or hurricanes, is considered enough to write-off crops for human consumption, but things get complicated when it is about a chemical spill.  Things get more complicated if you live in a state that has its own complicated water-for-agriculture rules.

CBRN = Chemical Biological Radiological Nuclear

Labor Shortage Shenanigans: Vermont Militia becomes Job Service for civilian employers!

16 February 2023 (21:45-UTC-07 Tango 06) 27 Bahman 1401/25 Rajab 1444/26 Jia-Yin 4721/16 февраля 2023 года

Vermont is a geographically small state, a little smaller than the regions of Eastern and Southeastern Idaho (which, apparently, at the federal level are combined in one Eastern Idaho region), but with a population just over half-a-million.  The regions of Eastern and Southeastern Idaho have combined populations of less than a half-a-million.

Despite being relatively population dense, the Vermont National Guard is having trouble finding new recruits to join-up, and silly-vilian (civilian) employers claim they can’t find qualified workers. They have created a new ‘incentive’ program called Partnered Recruiting Initiative for Military and Employers, or PRIME.

On 11FEB2023, a company called Blodgett Oven announced that it was willing to become the first victim, I mean participant.

Vermont National Guard photo by Sergeant Denis Nunez, 15FEB2023.

The official signing ceremony took place on 15FEB2023.

Basically, PRIME is a type of ‘civilian’ employment system for National Guard personnel: “At Blodgett, we understand the importance of supporting our military members and their families. Through this partnership with the Vermont National Guard, we are proud to provide employment opportunities and support to those who have so bravely served our country. We are thrilled to be the first employer to join the PRIME Program and look forward to the positive impact it will have on our community.”-Erica Havers, President of Blodgett Ovens

So if you live in Vermont, and you need a job, better join the National Guard:
