well Thai getting so many china military product, no surprising they buy again china military product due to value for money。 

what us sanction

However, in response to the military coup and the resulting oppressions in the country, the United States has had sanctions against Thailand since 2014. The sanctions include suspending more than $4.7 million of security-related assistance and cancelling training programs with the military and police.

Bombs away, looks like my tax dollars just went towards a $60 million fireworks display in Syria....

US launched Tomahawks missiles from the Med Sea against Syrian targets

how do they get these bombs so easily
If they can
There could be some coming across the border to Malaysia
What if Malaysia n terrorist do the same here (kudos to PDRM stopping potential attacks. Remember that Jedi Isis guy chaugh)

Is it me or is the chassis way too high? Usually tanks have a lower chassis profile, to minimize exposure and make a smaller target profile.
This vehicle seems like they just dropped a high-caliber gun onto an IFV chassis.

The MMWT is based on the FNSS-designed Kaplan infantry fighting vehicle (IFV) chassis, which seems to be the first proper own design; previously the company relied on licence-producing and modifying existing vehicles such as the M113 and the GPV Colonel (known as PARS in Turkey).

The MMWT uses a modified Kaplan-20 hull

Indeed, but is it suited for the medium tank role? It seems to show its chassis wayyy too much. More target for the enemy to aim at.
In contrast, the ZTQ look more like a scaled-down normal MBT and at the same time keeping its parent MBT's advantages of low silhouette.

I think it all depends on exactly how they are using this vehicle exactly. A frontline Medium tank? a heavily-armed IFV escort?

The second role you could probably get away with it, seeing most IFVs are also designed in the same mould.

If used in the first role, it would probably stand out too much though. MBTs could get away with it because of the low chassis minimizes exposure and the fact that the exposed turret is the most protected part of the MBT, but IMHO this design would show (unnecessarily) too much chassis for it to work effectively in this role.

INNM the MMWT is to replace the AMX-13.

i suppose being taller has its perks as well
it can peek above cover and have higher angle of firing

KOTA KINABALU: Seorang anggota Tentera Laut Diraja Malaysia (TLDM) yang juga kru kapal diraja (KD) Perantau dilaporkan hilang selepas dipercayai terjatuh ke laut di perairan Bintulu, Sarawak. Anggota terbabit disedari hilang selepas tidak hadir ke perbarisan wajib rutin harian kira-kira jam 9 pagi tadi. Mangsa kali terakhir dilihat berada di bilik rehat kapal itu pada jam 7.15 pagi ketika dalam pelayaran pulang ke Pangkalan TLDM Lumut dari Pangkalan TLDM Kota Kinabalu di Teluk Sepanggar, di sini. Panglima Wilayah Laut 2, Laksamana Muda Datuk Abdul Rahman Ayob, berkata bilik operasi sudah dibuka di Markas Wilayah Laut 2, Pangkalan TLDM Kota Kinabalu. "Usaha pencarian di laut dilaksanakan oleh KD Selangor dan helikopter Fennec, selain dibantu kapal maritim (KM) Tabah milik Agensi Penguatkuasaan Maritim Malaysia (APMM) berpangkalan di Bintulu, Sarawak. "Pihak Markas Wilayah Laut 2 memohon bantuan udara dari pihak Tentera Udara Diraja Malaysia (TUDM)," katanya menerusi kenyataan di sini, malam ini. Kejadian dipercayai berlaku di perairan kira-kira 90 batu nautika barat daya Bintulu. KD Perantau yang membawa kira-kira 80 anak kapal berada di Sabah Sarawak selama enam hari selepas melaksanakan ujian penerimaan sistem pengukuran hidrografi. Pelabuhan terakhir dilawati adalah Pangkalan TLDM Kota Kinabalu untuk ulang bekal sebelum meneruskan pelayaran pulang ke Lumut.
