China is in dire need of new decals since as of now it has the emptiest decal section compared to every other country, so I propose these slogans written on paper taped on a captured Soviet T-62 tank.
The suggested slogan is on the left side of the tank
For context this Soviet T-62 tank numbered as ,545’‘ was captured by the PLA during the souring Sino-Soviet relations period due to Khrushev’s destalinisation policy in the Zhenbao / Damansky island incident located in Manchuria at the Soviet-Chinese border in 1969, in which the PLA ambushed a Soviet patrol killing a handful of soldiers setting the start of back & forth attacks on the island even resorting to artillery fire & the use of tanks & APCs on Soviet side.
The Soviets made 2 attempts to avoid this T-62 which got disabled by a landmine in one of the Soviet counterattacks on the frozen Ussuri river, by then their most modern tank, to fall into Chinese hands, 1st by towing it back and 2nd by sending a demolition team to blow it up , which ended both in failure, so that they resorted to bomb it with artillery which resulted in the sinking of the tank.
The PLA with the help of the navy brought the T-62 ashore serving later as the basis for the Chinese Type-69MBT which still resides in the Chinese Military Museum in Beijing.
