Russia is using the latest version of T72B3, with a 1130 hp engine. New FCS, panoramic system, automatic gearbox... So yes they definitely have a huge advantage, when compared with the rest of the participants. Especially those with T72B, which doesn't even have a FCS in a full sense of a word, and engine is only 840hp. Chinese tank has a FCS on par with a T72B3, and 1000hp engine.

So we have:

T72B - 44.5t-840hp - 18.87hp/t
T72B3 - 46t-1130hp - 24.56hp/t
Type-96A - 50t-1000hp - 20hp/t

So yes Type 96A is inferior to T72B3 in hp/t ratio, but it's clearly superior to T72B. And when we talk about FCS, only two tanks with a real FCS in this competion are T72B3 and Type-96A. Armenia, Kazakhstan and Russia had practically the same hit rate as Chinese team, and two of those countries are using inferior tanks.

Hit rate after the first part of the competition:

China - 77.77%
Armenia - 77.77%
Russia - 66.66%
Kazakhstan - 66.66%

Chinese team is simply put slow. Why are they so slow? I would say that their crews are not that good. Because on the paper Type-96A is clearly superior to T72B. And let's not forget that god FCS means a lot in this competition, because every miss, adds a penalty time.

I personally expected this to be one sided competition between China and Russia.

And now i cheer for Kazakhstan

And here are some nice pics from the sprint:

Unfortunately the T-72 with FCS moving like a turtle when shooting
I have corrected you for the engine power of type 96A but you used the wrong number on purpose. Anyway, Serbia is not our customer, and serve yourself with lie.

I used the data i found on Army Recognition and Military Today, and many other sites specialised for military data claimed the same. And yes i used that on purpose, because i can't be sure that what you said is true. For me you are just some Chinese guy on PD forum, and for you i am just some Serbian guy you dont know nothing about. But since other guys from China claimed the same about Type 96A engine power, i accept that i have been wrong.

Anyway, Serbia is not our customer, and serve yourself with lie.

Customer in what way?
