Due to curiosity, are the Type 85 or Type 90-IIM tanks still being offered for export purposes?

firstly , I want to explain one thing：the ”99A2“ is not in accordance with the rules of PLA equipment naming rules View attachment 10847.So there is no "99A2" _just 99and 99A(what you call 99A2).
then,in my opinion the pic is the simulator of 99A: View attachment 10848View attachment 10849(the commander post of 99）

View attachment 10850（The commander post of 99A）.
by the way: 兄台哪里人？

Yes I know it shouldn't be called 99A2 but I've seen so many posts and pics confusing a 99 variant with 99A that I know people aren't going to be mistaken which one when I call it 99A2. That's why I keep using it.

The VT2/96 is a member of 85 series，while the MBT2000 is later periods of 90.

no ，that's all I get.

And ， the Cheif designer of the engine of ZTZ-99 passed away in 82 this days.

99式坦克发动机总设计师张保中驾鹤西去了。我们这些老朋友都感到悲痛，纷纷表示悼念。前年大家见面为他庆贺80诞辰。当时，他还想为发动机搞一些科研。他的一生经历很多，工作执着勤奋，为人正直，成果丰厚。他曾经是鸭绿江大桥守卫战士，1957年北工毕业，在大同工作一辈子，他也是80式坦克发动机总师。
