Xinhuanet.com published an article in 
memory of Zhu Yusheng, recently deceased chief designer of China’s most 
advanced Type 99 main battle tank.<br />

When Zhu was appointed chief designer of third-generation 
main battle tank in 1984, China has not finalized the design of its 
second-generation tank while the US and Germany have already 
commissioned their M1 and Leopard 2 tanks. lagged behind by two 
generations.<br />

When Zhu began research and development of Type 99 tank, he had no 
designated imaginary enemy to counter or type to copy. At the very 
beginning, Zhu set the targets of matching and even surpassing world 
advanced tanks. As a result, 80% of the functions of Type 99 tank are 
China’s inventions.<br />

For example, in determining the caliber of the tank’s main gun, Zhu 
wanted the gun to be the best in fire power, protection and 
maneuverability. He chose a 125-mm gun for the large amount of gunpowder
 in its cannonball and had enhanced the impetus of the gunpowder.<br />

Zhu was the first in adopting the advanced technology of 
optic-electronic countermeasure system in the tank. He has made the tank
 lighter in weight to reduce fuel consumption and leave room for 
increase in weigh for further improvement. He was the first in the world
 to successfully developed the active protection technology and had thus
 shocked the world.<br />
