The PLA ground force's advanced armaments have given the army an offensive capability that is unparalleled in Asia, said military observers.
During the Tian'anmen Square parade on Thursday, the PLA ground force displayed its Type-99A main battle tank, the ZBD-04A infantry fighting vehicle and the HJ-10 anti-tank missile.
Gao Zhuo, a military observer in Shanghai, said that the Type-99A is a third-generation tank with strong firepower, an advanced active protection system, cutting-edge composite armor and supreme mobility.
