What's difference between ADZ104A-105 and APS04-105?
I need to update for the PGZ95 and PGZ09, but I am unsure if the PGZ09 is on a ZBD04A or ZSD89A modified chassis (hull) or not. If I could get those answered then I could add them as appropriate.
That said the wheel ADA vehicles would take some work. Especially with all of the new Wheeled prototype and export variant.
Should be same besides 04a.
Are you talking about the zbl 08a? I thought it had better protection then the bmp 3. Both have all round resistance to 12.7, but Wikipedia says zbl 08 can handle 25mm frontally
Any chance for Chinese IFVs to start integrating hard kill APS systems in the realms of trophy? From recent experiences it seems that defense against HMG/30mm rounds is no longer sufficient in an AT heavy environment, however expensive they may be, they would still be cheaper than potentially losing a squad/vehicle while remaining much lighter than covering a vehicle in ERA. Although the concern would be friendly fire from the APS.
PGZ-09 chassis should be derived from PLZ-05 chassis. But I don't know where the lineage of PLZ-05 chassis comes from. Probably a new chassis design separate from ZSD-89?
