Chinese OOB

[Shan]

I believe that the Chinese OOB is basically quite OK but nevertheless some points need to be worked over - while I myself have to rely on open-source info from sinodefence.com and the like, which might not be up to your standards, these are some of the points I'd like to bring up:

1.) no UAVs at all in the current OOB - have a look at this list: http://www.sinodefence.com/airforce/uav/default.asp and please include something like the Russian Shmel for convenience...

2.) Type 99 amphibious tank - Unit 476 - is a common mis-designation and should be called Type 63A - see http://www.sinodefence.com/army/tank/type63a.asp - to avoid confusion with the

3.) Type 99 MBT - the latest Chinese MBT and THE future MBT of the PLA (so far doesn't exist in the OOB) - is based on the Type-98 but the latter was not mass-produced, even though it did enter service; the Type 99 is being mass-produced and can be seen on Chinese TV when they hold maneuvers regularly.

4.) Type 97 IFV, already in service since the late 90s- obviously based on the BMP-3 which, allegedly, has been imported in the 90s in small nimbers for trial and showing a similar configuration

...and many more things if you look at this in detail - the Chinese OOB is IMHO one of the more 'important' ones and just like the whole country, its military is changing fast...
