I am looking for information for the DTB HE ammunition used on the Chinese 125mm tank gun.

I remember they firing at a mock T-80 tank and concluding that the ammunition was effective in destroying the tank.
Can anyone provide me with the original Chinese information or English information?

Where did the shell hit? Was there any Era or base T-80?

They used a 59 or 69 tank and welded a lot of steel plates for the front to simulate the frontal protection of the T-80, I forget if they used ERA or not.
I saw someone claim that they simulated a protection level of T-80U, but I can't find the original Chinese information.

Have been hearing this word hundreds if not thousands of times but what does it really mean? "जय हिन्द Jai Hind" (Google translate only translates it into Jai Hind).

Have been hearing this word hundreds if not thousands of times but what does it really mean? "जय हिन्द Jai Hind" (Google translate only translates it into Jai Hind).

From Wikipedia:

Jai Hind is a salutation and slogan that originally meant "Victory to Hindustan" and is now used colloquially to mean "Long live India" or "Salute to India". It was coined by Champakaraman Pillai during India's independence movement from British rule and emerged as a battle cry and in political speeches.1 The word "jai" is derived from the Sanskrit word "jaya", which means "triumph, victory, cheers, bravo, rejoice".

When you see it on this forum, it is usually used sarcastically.
Query: 100 Year old British built bridge collapses a month after India "rennovates" it.
Response: Jai Hind

Yeah, I understand the sarcasms but I want to find out the real meaning of that word.

I interpret the chant as "Go India!" while others define it as "Victory to Hindustan" where Hindustan represents modern-day India.
