The new 3rd generation Chinese tank T-99?

I read on many sources saying that the new T-99 Chinese main battle tank is the only tank that has a laser defence system to interfere and destroy enemy tanks/helicopter optic device and may also use to blind enemy gunner's eyes.

and the main cannon of the tank is also capable of firing laser guided missiles.

I wounder if any one knows any thing about the T-99, and how is it compare with the US Abraham?

As usual, there is already something like that posted on ATS, somewhere....

Anyway don't worry, the chicoms doesn't have more than 60/70 of these tanks and doesn't have any capabilities to mass produce it. So relax.

Reliable sources (Jane's Intelligence Review, Sep '08)) now report China has over 200 T99s, and had commenced a $14bn armoured vehicle programme, which will include more of the same.

I love the "Take it easy, bro" attitude when it comes to China. They just announced an anti-gravity program, now has the strongest economy (which might change if we go down), and has as many troops on call as America has people. This isn't America circa 1992. This is America 2008. We should be prepare to be humbled. Eye rolling China is about to be a thing of the past.
