The T-10K-3 prototype purchased by China from Ukraine—by the way, this T-10K-3 has now been repainted to resemble the J-15 and used as a model. It could be added at BR 13.0 in the game, just like the Su-33

This is the Su-25UTG imported from Ukraine together with the T-10K-3. China, which had no prior experience with carrier-based aircraft at all, learned technical lessons from this aircraft and then developed the HJ-9/FTC-2000G

China obtained the T-72 Ural main battle tank (MBT) from Romania, and also acquired the T-72A MBT through unknown channels. Based on the T-72A, China carried out in-depth modifications: it was refitted with a cast turret, equipped with additional explosive reactive armor (ERA), and outfitted with the same commander’s panoramic sight and gunner’s sight as those used on the VT-4. This modified variant is known as the T-72 “Ghost”

Thanks for the list j16d I knew China at the end of the cold war gobbled a lot of stuff up and a good few of these could become premiums though some cannot. Su-25UTG has no weapons to speek of unless the Chinese one was special
But the MIG-23 could be a option and the M48A3 with ERA could we a great event vehicle if there is more information about it. The Chinese are also making what appears to be upgrade kits for the T-72 so it would be unique and in the image of the modified T-72 there was a heavy APC. I doubt the T-72 modification is finished from the looks.
Comet → not needed / just a monument
Chieftain → might have a cool story wonder what they got out of it also NK got some fire control tech from a Chieftain from a report so maybe the same deal.
Mig-29 → likely not flyable likely now a educational part of a military school if I where to guess maybe some study who knows
AV81 → possible look around could be a premium for infantry mode
K21 AFV likely milked big ooof by South Korea
Electric Canberra is it flyable? wonder what China got out of it.
Very interesting Good Job I bet there is hidden stuff we will one day learn about but it makes sense I would love to learn what they got from all of this Mig-23 was almost cloned J-10 R&D has such a clone in the early designs. I wonder if they plan to make a upgrade kit or something for it. Mi-24 is likely valuable for Chinas domestic helicopter program at one time.
With infantry on the way is there anything small like rifles?
