China Displays Models at Eurosatory 2010

China has attended the Eurosatory 2010 exhibition in Paris, the first time it has attended this event.

Its contribution has been a series of models of some of its latest Land Vehicles. Most of them seem well known but it may be an worthwhile having a look. I was interested to see some of its new wheeled armoured vehicles including the 8 wheeled VN1 which (the last I looked) was still an object of some mystery in so far if any of these 8 wheelers were actually part of the official PLA inventory.

anyways, i've never seen number 4. reminds me of the avenger

You know the Overlord Tank is coming next ...

They should really change that name of the exibition. It sounds like a crime against children.

wts wrong with the name

Why do the Chinese keep producing armored vehicles with open-topped turrets?

It doesn't save that much money to cover the open top which makes the gunner vulnerable to all sorts of things - snipers in high positions, high trajectory shell fragments, the occasional brick dropped from a building, unfriendly people relieving themselves on you, etc - all the crap that urban warfare can throw at you - literally.

Furthermore providing the gunner with a all-around, panoramic sight with night vision would be great business for your people.
