Black Shark said "A Real T-90S for best foreign country." in the Type-96A thread.
So.... are we going to see the first T-90S tank in China soon?

The cup for overall victory was awarded to the Russian team on Sunday.

But the Russians already have plenty of T-90s...
Maybe the Russians are afraid of that China will reverse engineering some features from T-90 and just couldn't give them the tank.
Off topic: how is T-90 compared to Type 96/99 in fire control, gun, autoloader and survivability?
What is there on a T-90 for China to reverse engineer?

Not much to reverse engineering for China with the T-90S, but India probably won't like it much if Russia actually gifted a T-90S to China. As they are one of the biggest user of T-90 tank. I'm sure they don't want China to study it's weakness and see what T-90 can do.
