==Description==
The '''ZTZ99''' (or '''Type 99''') is a Chinese 3rd generation main battle tank developed throughout the 1990s and entering service in the early 2000s. They share many similarities with the Soviet [[T-72 (Family)|T-72]] as well as the Chinese [[ZTZ96 (Family)|ZTZ96]], but have generally better protection. They are currently the most capable MBTs serviced by the PLA.

 ==Description==
-The '''ZTZ99''' (or '''Type 99''') is a Chinese 3rd generation main battle tank developed throughout the 1990s and entering service in the early 2000s. They share many similarities with the Soviet [[T-72 (Family)|T-72]] as well as the Chinese [[ZTZ96 (Family)|ZTZ96]], but have generally better protection. They are currently one of the most capable MBTs serviced by the PLA alongside with their nominal successor ZTZ99A.
+The '''ZTZ99''' (or '''Type 99'''; ZTZ99式主战坦克) with two industry codes '''WZ123 (for ZTZ99)''' and '''WZ1001 (for ZTZ99A)''', are the Chinese 3rd generation main battle tanks developed since April 1978 under Project 784 all the way until the 21st century and entering service in 2004 as ZTZ99 ''(Note: 38th Group Army acquired the 17 ZTZ99-I after 1999's National Day parade)'', then in 2011 as the ZTZ99A. They share many similarities with the Soviet [[T-72 (Family)|T-72]] as well as the Chinese [[ZTZ96 (Family)|ZTZ96]], but have generally better protection and upgraded powerplant. The nominal brothers now serve as the spearhead of the modern time PLAGF armored corps.
