Presumably, what the landlord said is similar to the shovel in front of the German city leopard main battle tank. The shovel at the front of the tank is used to break obstacles, mainly for the convenience of the tank in urban warfare. As for why China's tanks are not equipped with this shovel, my personal opinion is that the first China 99 tank is overweight. If a bulldozer is installed in urban warfare, the weight of the tank will be further increased, which will reduce the advantage in urban warfare (while our tank has no side skirts). Secondly, China has not suffered from urban warfare now, and there will be no war in the next few years, so it will not be equipped with such things. If it is to be installed, it is estimated that it will be installed on the Type 96 tank.
