Information of the tank was first released in 2012, but it wasn't until last month did the Chinese military authority introduced its official name as they displayed its models during an exhibition in Beiing.

该坦克的信息于2012年首次发布，但直到上个月军方在北京的一次展览会上展示其型号时才介绍了其官方名称。

The video of the tank firing was released by a social media account affiliated to China's state broadcast CCTV on December 19.

12月19日，中央电视台的一个社交媒体账号发布了该坦克开火的视频。

The Chinese media have billed Type 15 as a landmark weapon for the country's army and another significant tank after the Type 99A, China's most powerful battle tank.

媒体宣称15式坦克是军队的标志性武器，也是继99A式(最强主战坦克)之后的又一款重要坦克。

Those abominable snowmen better watch out! So China is "flaunting" a top secret tank, one that no-one in the West has seen? Not my idea of "flaunting", but then, this IS the Maily Dail.

在“炫耀”一款绝密坦克，一款西方国家从未见过的坦克? 在我看来，这不是“炫耀”。

Which western design did they steal this time

这次他们偷了哪个西方国家的设计？

Most western MBT designs are over 25 years old why would they need to copy anything?

@wombatwal大多数西方国家的主战坦克设计都已经超过25年了，他们有必要抄袭吗?

China and India stood eyeball to eyeball on the Himalayas ready for war only a few months ago. China has this policy to keep expanding its territory little by little on land and sea. China very well knows this tactic does not work against India and Vietnam. The west lives in mortal fear of China but as India clearly showed on the Himalayas, once China is shown power and determination it promptly withdraws.

就在几个月前，中印两国还在喜马拉雅山针锋相对。的政策是在陆地和海洋上逐渐扩大领土。非常清楚，这种策略对印度和越南不起作用。西方生活在对的极度恐惧中，印度在喜马拉雅山的举动清楚的表明，一旦显示出实力和决心，它就会迅速撤出。

The crazies season has begun. Nothing else to write about globally so they dust off all this nonsense that is not news to people in China. All this has been on Chinese public TV including the Army TV channel for many months. Such pathetic writing.

都没什么新闻可写了吗？这些对人来说已经不是新闻了，在的电视上播了好几个月了，包括军事频道。

Scotty Mac: "Tib has nothing to do with India"? You literally don't know what you're talking about. Try reading about the Sino-Indian Border War that that China and India fought over conflicting claims as to where the border was. Since the conflicting claims still exst, strained relations between the nations over the Tiban frontier have continued ever since. To help maintain its claims India has been mobilizing a new 90,000 man mountain strike corps (the XVIIth Corps) specifically for fighting along the Tiban border, as a counterbalance to China's troops and bases there. Next time, try to know what you're talking about before you claim someone else doesn't know what they're talking about.

去了解一下中印边界战争，和印度在边界归属问题上争执不休。由于相互矛盾的主张仍然存在，两国在边境问题上的紧张关系一直持续至今。为了维护自己的主张，印度一直在动员一支9万人山地突击队( XVIIth corps)，专门在边境作战，以制衡在那里的军队和基地。下次，在说别人不懂之前，先想想自己在说什么。

food_deserts_org, Tiban economy is now 1 billion a year and the life they now have is from abject poverty and surfs to a life no longer in poverty and free to develop their own well being. The British trashed Tib many years ago as it also tried to with Afghanistan and failed. They left the place in abject poverty and this is no longer the case.

xz现在的经济规模每年达到10亿，人民已经脱贫致富，实现了跨越式发展。多年前，英国在试图解决阿富汗问题时，曾对xz横加指责，但以失败告终。他们离开时，这个地方一贫如洗，现在情况已经今非昔比了。
