Red arrow 20/50?I have an impression of its demonstration video at Zhuhai Air Show. Can you confirm that the top hatch cover is opened in this way?

FL-30 loitering munition launcher (it has a flatter ceiling).



And this is the HJ-20/50 ATGM launcher (it has a visible protrusion of the VLS).

Yes, that’s it! I took my picture from a YouTube footage but I couldn’t manage to take a decent screenshot of it and so I posted a blurred picture. Is it possible that such a loitering munition is used on the ZBD fire support vehicle?

Oh there is certainly a resemblance on the roof cover to what we see on Type 100

The way it folds excludes this particular hatch design from being the same as the type 100 though.

Yes though Type 10 might have some sliding mechanism to the left side. But the height of the "box" protruding over the roof looks very similar.

The only thing I want to say is that there is a possibility that one of the two munition types or a similar missile/loitering munition will be used on the ZBD 10. In either case, they are all vertically launched.

Boy everyone seems to darn bent on having VLS on the ZBD100 vehicle. I haven't seen anything that would support this. The posted images of the FL30 or HJ20 are great but they don't prove anything. In fact due to the size of both munitions (FL30 & HJ20) vice the ZBD100 back deck, there is not enough real estate to support a VLS for a munition. Did anyone do a size comparison to the munition to the ZBD100 back deck with imagery analysis of size relationship of munitions size to the area of the ZBD100 to support the position of a VLS system?
