China’s Junk Tanks Burst After 31 Shots: Exports Hundreds to Allies, Treats Them as Cannon Fodder
Вставка

- Several years ago, Bangladesh purchased several hundred 59G tanks from China, touted for their superior performance and affordability. In April this year, Bangladesh received a new batch of these tanks. On May 4th, during testing, one of the 59G tanks exploded while firing its 31st shell out of a planned 60, resulting in the death of the loader and severe injuries to the commander and gunner. The Bangladeshi military immediately suspended the use of this batch of tanks.

Does CCP now stand for "Crappy Chinese Products"?
I'm stealing that one
Yes
L😂L
Always has
Always has been
Just because you stole the plans doesn't mean you comprehended the engineering.
The problem is it's industrial culture, they try to hide mistake to maintain performance. This is why so many chinese product suffer frequent catastrophic faillure.
And if China "steals" plans, it means they were given. Like, China brags about how it stole the F-35 plans from a server sitting in a tent at an airshow in the US. Like...really? If they're telling the truth, were they too stupid to read the "This is a trap, lol" sign taped to it?
I worked with many engineers from China and the biggest problem that I had was that they could never admit to making a mistake! In the USA or Canada we just would acknowledge our error and get on with the job, happy in that found an error and we were putting out excellent work. A lot of engineers from China on the other hand, would bury any errors that they found that they had made. In some cases these were huge, very costly mistakes. But those engineers had quickly moved on to other companies, by the time the mistakes had been exposed. I always wondered how did these people manage to pass the State Professional Engineers Exam and get their license and stamp.

Yeah let's blame it on the dead guys who died due to our faulty equipment, wink wink they can't oppose us with the truth🙄
It's why they don't ever learn from their mistakes. You have to first acknowledge that there's a problem, and then correctly diagnose what the problem is before you can fix it. They can't even get past the first step.
This applies to all finger-pointers and people with weak, fragile egos.
Don't you know? China is the victim. They're always the victim.
China: "It's not our fault... I-it was the Bangladeshi tank shells!"
The West: "So wait, you're not exporting your own made tank shells with your tanks?"
China: "... Stop oppressing me"

@@seandoherty4236 Any misalignment for a tank breechblock is not good, even a 1mm misalignment can cause serious issues as it's meant to seal up completely to prevent shit like this from happening.
Misalignment of that magnitude would not have allowed the gun to go into battery enough to fire. Pretty sure we're not getting the real story.
That's what you get for buying tanks from Temu.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"He who buys his swords by the price tag may soon find the only thing he has cut is his own purse strings."
~Sun Tzu, probably
This is normal for chinas manufacturing. The company I work for made the mistake of buying a Chinese made piece of equipment. The equipment has very minimal sensors for material location tracking. What that means is the machine has no idea where the material is. If it’s not exactly where it’s supposed to be the machine doesn’t know it and it just keeps doing what it thinks it supposed to do. It will in fact destroy itself and anyone around it if something doesn’t go exactly as it’s designed to. The example given makes perfect sense if you understand how they do things. Any other manufacturer would install sensors to track the breach. If it does not close properly the tank won’t fire. China will just cut that corner and leave those sensors out to save money. This is what happens.
These sort of errors or shortcuts seem endemic in Chinese production and don't appear to be limited to particular manufacturers.

China does manufacture for big name Western countries that demand a certain level of quality control. So we know China is capable of producing high quality products. But it seems they (China) only choose to do so where customer demands are stringent enough.

Remove the support you remove the power. Keep feeding the dog and allowing it to run around freely without a muzzle, then dont be surprised when it bites.
No returns from Temu.
The whole country of Bangladesh seriously doesn't know what the rest of the world knows about Chinese made products? 🙄
They got scammed by the price tag. And the quality product from both US and EU was a bit painful to pay for. Doesn’t give either country good options.

because the CCP has no issues throwing a citizen into life threatening poverty, jail or even taking your family hostage if you refuse ... dont be a fool thinking these chinese soldiers want to join their army, alltho its usually because of the abuse and poor pay
The recruits are starving villagers.
Democracy has its problems because humans are always greedy, but communists have always shown they don't care about their military personnel and citizens and will abandon them quickly even turning their own weapons on them. Even with the high end greed in America there's a reason for checks and balances in government and military equipment production. We get right more than we get wrong
As a former tanker, I'm not at all able to visualize 152mm misalignment in the breech. It should be impossible to operated with that large of deviation.
There has to be missing dot in that number. The damn shell aint that large on diameter, so i suspect it was 1.52mm that would make sense, since its large enough to blow hot high pressure gasses into fighting compartment and still be small enough not to notice visually, witch is why gun has to have mechanical mechanism preventing firing when breach is not closed. Add in electronics and those can fail, so electric sensor is not that suitable answer

A wise man once said "you get what you pay for."
"Made in China" translates to "Breaks out of the Box" in any other language.
”Dude i bought a tank on Wish for 23$ !"
The Type-59 was first built in 1959, which itself was a knock off of the Soviet T-54 tank. It’s an obsolete tank, even by Chinese standards. Surprised China is still able to convince countries to buy such an outdated vehicle.
They use large amounts of camouflage to cover poor design and if that fails sell them very cheaply. I don't think even the Russians are fooled by this.
Yes, because their leaders are corrupt as the CCP officials they are buying from.
Extended warranty.
WHAT DO YOU EXPECT OF MADE IN CHINA😂😂😂

This is the same tank that is easily lapped by old T-72s, and had it's roadwheel fall off half way through the race. Chinesium technology at it's finest.
One correction Well Ukraine has faced the issue with artillery guns..getting their cannon mouth blasted due to defective shell supplied by U.K. which is actually actually supplied by pakistan....😂😂😂
Well, it is a cheap Frankenstein tank. It's a T-54/55 with a Type 96 gun system. The original used 100mm fully assembled shells(like a regular gun cartridge), the new gun is a 125mm dual ammunition system(shell and bagged propellent) with a carousel loader like in a T-72 tank.
So how they managed to cram a T-72 gun and autoloader into a T-54/55 hull , has finally been answered. They did it poorly.
The buyer should have been at least a little wary of any performance claims from such a vehicle in the first place.
So even 60 rounds is pretty shabby. American tanks can fire hundreds, if not thousands, of rounds.
One has to wonder... if aluminum panels that can be buckled and explode are substituted for stronger materials in military tanks to cut costs, what other cost cutting has occurred in large systems like naval ships and aircraft.?

FYI, tank rounds are expensive. Even the practice rounds are well over $1k.
The report suggests the tank was to live fire 60 rounds. Typically, whole battalion (ca 18 tanks or Regiment 54 tanks) would fire 1-3 rounds each during a given exercise. The barrels wear off after a few hundred rounds, so excessive training is extremely expensive option.
Given Bangladesh military is purchasing T59G (not even VT4), which indicates lack of funding, it would be difficult to burn 60 rounds per tank at an exercise/ training.

Though this video and critics in Western countries, many Chinese people used to say that why foreign states didn't purchase made-in-China weapons. According to military experts in China, made-in-China weapons are awesome, so, foreign nations must buy their weapons right now. However, the CCP's best buddy Pakistan was perfectly fucked up due to the Army adopted Chinese weapons, but Chinese weapon developers didn't give the Army reliable maintenance processes when they were out of order. Chinese weapon builders need more technologies to raise their technical assets and reliability.

Shouldn't the crew be trained to inspect a tank during the exercise and detect potential failure, yes equipment can be bad but a properly trained operator should be able to see a failure coming
