BEIJING, July 3 -- According to the annual plan and the consensus of China and Laos, the Chinese and Lao militaries will hold the Friendship Shield-2024 joint military exercise in Laos in early to mid-July, 2024.

This will be the second time for the Chinese and Lao militaries to hold this series of joint military exercises, which will help further deepen strategic mutual trust and practical cooperation between the two militaries and inject positive energy into regional peace and stability.

QQ: How do you spell "marine expeditionary force" in English?

 The militaries of China, Tanzania and Mozambique will hold “Peace Unity-2024” joint exercise from late July to mid August. The subject of the exercise is joint counter-terrorism military operations, which will be conducted both on land and at sea. The joint exercise aims to enhancing the capabilities of participating troops in joint counter-terrorism operations, and deepening military mutual trust and practical cooperation. It will also be conducive for the three countries to jointly preserving regional peace and stability. (link)

Brazilian Army is checking out the VT4 tank

 I'm guessing all the cheap Leopard 2 are off the market?

BTW, a while back Norinco did offered the option of equipping 120mm main gun for the VT4, and they should still have plenty of surplus Type 89 SPATG 120mm 50-cal barrels around. The bigger issue will be reconfigure the internal for the large unitary ammo. I would expect the back of the turret will get chop off to install an enlarged autoloader from the VT5/Type 15 lightweight MBT. 

Also, paying for it will not be a problem as Brazil had just agree to trade with China in RMB.
