I noticed for the new ZBD prototype we've been seeing, there seems to be different versions. If you compare picture 1 and picture 3/4 in this tweet, you will notice the headlamp arrangements are different as well as the ERA/armor plate arrangement.

@TheObserver also noticed this two months ago. There seems to be at least two variants/variations under testing. Not sure what the differences are beyond the armor module arrangement and perhaps slightly differently shaped front face of the hull.

Yay, hard shell tanker helmets.

I wonder why we're seeing so many Mengshi vehicles in use nowadays, from self propelled howitzers to command vehicles to bridgelayers to fire rescue

Most of the advantage seems comes from electric drive rather than hybrid itself. I do recognize the advantage of electric drive which would easily overlap with hybrid drive. Guess I was carried away by the rather "civilian" term use.

Electric drive system is more efficient but the problem I see right now is with the power density of batteries and the logistics of delivering energy to end users. Once we resolved both the issues we might see and greater shift towards full electric systems on military platforms. Hybrid is a stop gap that is likely to last for decades.
