Re: new Chinese supertank,question....
hi,
on the quality of armies the will to fight is paramount. look at ww2's example, the low countries armies (belgian+holland) gave up without even slowing down the wehrmacht, while chinese armies with much less equipment destroyed hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops. move on to korea, the only thing to stop PVA became US airpower, even so chinese advanced 300 km by war's end. move on to a recent example of dutch peacekeepers in bosnia, who let their safe camp become slaughtered by tiny serbia, the matter of determination shows through again and again.
south korea army today looks shiny but they have a historical problem. they themselves admit to losing 1 million troops to chinese during korean war. they along with the minor UN armies frequently failed to hold UN flanks. It is all the matter of determination and whether you can bring your savage skill to killing. look at how chinese soliders train today, there can be no doubt of the determination, bravery, and skill of chinese infantry. professional skill is important and chinese soldiers receive highly competitive training every day, but at the end of the day it's not like knowing tricks in a video game, it's about determination to risk yourself to the fight.
chinese maintains a portion of its army with modern equipment, but imagine even this minor portion is larger than the biggest european army today. there are more t99's than all the tanks in the british army, for example. So yeah, the combination of determination, bravery, historical success, and skillful savagery make chinese army, especially infantry but also tanks and aviation, the best in world if the war is fought on asia mainland. navy wise it's far inferior to usa but also the only realistic challenger in asia-pacific. there's also 2nd artillery but now we're going too much off topic. :nono:
