PLA Next Generation Main Battle Tank

But more importantly, the EREV tech is the key here. And this has been talked about since recent Zhuhai air show with all those UGVs. Using high voltage ePlatform, you get much higher energy efficiency + lower heat for the same power. You can design the same engine power with much more compact propulsion platforms, because you can run the eMotor at much higher rpm..

The energy you get is stored in battery, which balances out energy consumption peaks/valleys. The power generated can be spread efficiently across weapon platform, sensors and propulsion. One measure of NEVs is improve NVH (noise, vibration and harshness). So you get quieter and more steady navigation. Good for both crew and stealth purposes. Of course, reduced heat from running on battery and higher voltage also reduces thermal signature.

Would this technically allow engineers to install a powerful motor like let's say two 750kW motors for a extremely high burst output when extreme mobility is required and use the battery as a buffer hence not needing a engine that could actually output 1500kW while still being able to have extreme mobility when required?

In fact, a lot of Chinese military fans are not optimistic about this new tank.
In particular, its 105 mm main gun raises some questions

Better versions of previously shared images.

These guys are perhaps the dick size competition bunch who are likely not even satisfied with the 125mm cannon on the type 99.

250 mm cannon or bust

An old academic paper on electromagnetic armor. Sharing it here because there had been prior rumors that this technology is being developed/tested for China's next gen armored vehicles/tanks.

Any explanation for the (seemingly) thin hatch, compared to a platform like the Lynx?

Well, for starters it's on horizontal plate and not on upper front plate.

i have no idea what that first sentence is trying to say.

based on what guancha folks said to weibo today, we are basically just a LEO constellation short of where they think the ultimate ground network centric warfare looks.

V闪闪 is not a military blogger, In my opinion he is even worse than lyman2003 and 琴石2022.

These data are obviously fabricated by Deepseek - too explicit and without source.
