They might not have the luxury to wait for ASM/PGM to finish the job.Coatepequehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01508159287589782109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9433712.post-74192605918359882122009-11-13T20:31:10.769-08:002009-11-13T20:31:10.769-08:00I completely agree that D30 is much more deadly, a...I completely agree that D30 is much more deadly, and outrange 120 mortar. Yet I don't see any reason that a possible landing operation by PLA will unnoticed. So they will need every gun possible while swimming and landing imo. Once a beachhead is establised D30 is indeed better but they already have the track and wheel army versions.

PLL05 might be able to use it lighter rounds while swimming and switch to Mortar once ashore. When assult inland terran ZBD2000 is just too big in size imo. So lighter systems/turrents like PLL05 should help.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9433712.post-16963865175453020882009-11-09T18:53:22.770-08:002009-11-09T18:53:22.770-08:00ZBD2000 was coined by fan boys.

If that is really the case, it would be designated as ZBD00, not 2000.Coatepequehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01508159287589782109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9433712.post-12083819102432091982009-11-09T17:23:28.465-08:002009-11-09T17:23:28.465-08:00Hmm I thought the platform was called the ZBD2000?...Hmm I thought the platform was called the ZBD2000?<br /><br />But still, putting a howitzer on the Chinese EFV would definitely be an effective weapon espicially if it has similar sea swimming capability to the IFV version.Rick Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13100965365056470588noreply@blogger.com
