The '''ZTZ99''' (or '''Type 99''') is a Chinese 3rd generation main battle tank developed throughout the 1990s and entering service in the early 2000s. They share many similarities with the Soviet [[T-72 (Family)|T-72]] as well as the Chinese [[ZTZ96 (Family)|ZTZ96]], but have generally better protection. They are currently the most capable MBTs serviced by the PLA.
