yes and no, we have no way to know if they changed the engine , or the transmission ,optics, hell maybe even the radio, it will be like saying all cars are the same .
Seem like more spacing between third and last wheel, does this indicate that the vehicle is longer? Maybe room for 10 troops in back for IFV version?
Also is that an unmanned turret with bustle autoloader? If yes, then it's state of the art, if not, then somewhat behind.
yeap , I would assume that the will re-tool the Type-15 autoloader for this turret since it is highly unlikely that it isn't a 105MM L7 variant same with the Type 15.
To be honest, I think if this manned turret is largely the same as Type 15's turret, it would be safer than M1128's unmanned turret.
