Comparing: T95E6 vs. 121B

Some military analysts deemed the experimental tanks of the T95 series to be undergunned. In order to increase the tank's firepower, a new, heavier turret, designated T96, was to be mounted on the hull. This would allow replacement of the 105-mm gun with a 120-mm gun. However, development proved unsuccessful, and the project was canceled on July 7th, 1960. Only one dummy vehicle was built.

The upgraded version of the 121 Chinese medium tank, developed in the 1960s. Unlike the prototype, the 121B was equipped with a modern 105-mm rifled gun, improved suspension, and reinforced front armor. The vehicles of this modification were equipped with infrared lamps and a laser rangefinder. The 121B aiming system had a higher firing accuracy than that of the Type 59.
