The armor layout of VT1/VT4(Same layout but different materials), more similar to Leopaed 2 but not ZTZ96 and ZTZ99/99A.
Comparison between VT4 and T-80UD, you may need translation software. The data source is leaked by the Thai military and does not include confidential parts.

I know this isn’t the post for the ZTZ99 but do you by chance have any information on the ZTZ99G? It’s the supposed variant with a 140mm gun.

Must Chinese export tanks can be customize depend the requirement the customer want. The VT-4 exported to Thailand has airco installed for example and the VT5 armor can be upgraded with armor package.

I heard Bangladeshi VT-5s have upgraded armor. But I cannot confirm whether if it’s true or not
What？does it really exist?
I think it yes, many countries used to test 130/140mm gun.

140mm cannon exists for sure. There‘s lots of evidence, even real penetrator photo.
And an impressive sub-caliber ammunition for 155mm howitzer (maybe, not sure)

That round is huge
Kek nice
That round next to the 140mm penetrator is DTW-125 and that projectile is ~642mm long
The 140mm apfsds projectile is like 850mm long and the penetrator is most likely roughly 750-775mm long.
Muzzle velocity is 1810m/s
Penetrator is 5.71kg
Penetration according to L-O
733-755mm @ 0m (0)
687-708mm @ 2000m (0)
—-
400-412mm @ 2000m at 60 degrees
It’s like roughly equivalent to M829A4 in best case scenario

Gaijin says that MBT-2000 use FY-2 and FY-4, so they have more reliable source, maybe i need to edit my topic.
FY-4 is probably only used around the cage armor
Does MBT-2000’s first extended composite armor mean that 96/99/99A also has first extended composite armor
DTW-125 projectile being 642mm long (proof)
