Who is he.

He's a guy who posts on War Thunder forums, apparently. Well known for 'THIS VEHICLE ISN'T BALANCED AND HERE ARE SOME DOCUMENTS TO PROVE IT'.
Here's a post he made on the T99:

A Type 69 (?) being used as a test vehicle for verifying/testing subsystems intended for the Type-99 MBT. You can see Type-99's laser dazzler installed on the turret.

Is that a MANPADS on the side?

I don't know what they are, but they look too short to be MANPADS in Chinese inventory.

Very possible.

Why does ATGM need to have two different launch angles with one of them so high?

Maybe an APS like Drozd on T55AMD

Hello, I am assembling a plastic model of the ZTZ 99A tank.
The wiring on the model looks very schematic in several places. I would like to change this so that the model has more similarity to the real tank.


I would be grateful if someone could share photos of the following elements:
1. "Innards" of the commander's sight (No. 1)
2. I found a photo of the inside of the gunner's sight (No. 2) in this thread, but I did not find any images of how the wiring and tubes are located around it.
3. Photo of the headlight (No. 3) wiring on the tank hull.
4. Photo of the wiring coming out of the hole (No. 4) and going to the device (No. 5).
