MBT-3000 engine power and numbers 

I've edited the MBT3000's engine power.

I'm not sure why but english sources have the engine power rated at 1300HP when the chinese reference have them at 1200HP.http://www.guancha.cn/military-affairs/2014_12_05_302564_s.shtml As an export tank, it would be more likely that the numbers are overstated than understated. Hence, I think the 1200HP is more reliable.

The source is an interview with a Norinco designer and he rattles off some numbers. If anybody here would be an expert and determine their reliability, I would be glad to include them.

Frontal composite armor: 500mm RHAe
Frontal with ERA: 700mm RHAe

APDS penetration: 700mm, 1000mm with "advanced" penetrator

Infrared imaging system: 2km range
