Obviously, this is unbearable weight.
Driving a 100-ton tank to a speed of 70 kilometers per hour requires a 2500 horsepower engine!
Moreover, a 100-ton tank literally has no strategic mobility, and its tactical mobility won't be much better, because there's just no bridge that can let a 100-ton tank pass safely.
If logistics is also considered, a 100-ton main battle tank would be an absolute disaster for the Army Armored Forces.
Therefore, alternative solutions must be sought.
The ZT-99AL has exposed a problem in actual combat, requiring a small engine that can continue to supply power to electronic equipment when the main engine stops. The reason is simple: the main engine consumes too much fuel, even when idling, reducing the tank's sustained combat capability, and also shortening the engine's lifespan, thereby increasing maintenance difficulty.
In the army, determining engine maintenance and lifespan is based not on mileage but on motor time.
