Note: From the picture of the ref. 2 you can see it has two turret "blow out" panels. The gun radar is covered on the top of the turret but, I've and others have posted pictures of it uncovered.
It looks like sina.com only archives their articles back around 60 days. Have tried other searches within the site with no luck so far. I'm sure the above two did get the article and "cherry picked" the most important information from it for their articles. I would say the following are settled:
1) MG is a 105mm.
2) It can fire ATGW weapons how many not sure though the
TYPE 99 Series normally carry 4 of them onboard.
3) I feel they do have them fielded but I would guess
no sooner then mid-2015 from the fragments of information we've gotten to this point. One of these are the fact that China was looking for a tank that could exploit the mountainous terrain should a conflict develop with India and the reports are consistent that that's where these tanks are being shipped to those bordering southern providence's. Even the Indian ref.
BROADSWORD has commented on this a couple of times as posted in here.
Working it.
