Chinese infantry fighting vehicles

I am with TerraN_EmpirE on this one, looks more like Urban warfare then Urban pacification.

The ATGM is probably for clearing out a rocket-team nest hiding in the building that's threatening the tank column. A single thermobaric round would be quiet effective punching through the wall and just clearing out the nest.
Even the HJ-73C/D are using shaped-charge warhead (there's the stand-off probe, but can't tell if that's the tandem mounted "D" model though), though it should still be enough to deal with urban buildings.

As to "urban warfare"...against "wannabe insurgents", a.k.a. university undergrads who played way too much Battlefield 4 for their own good? Hmmm, I wonder...

Apparently there are 3 cameras installed below the warning lights on each side, capability (spectrum other than visual light, resolution etc) unknown. View attachment 15419

It looks like there is also a camera between the two front windscreen and on the reverse slanting front plate, I wonder if they have integrated all these cameras to give 360 degree view.

First impression: They NEED those in Xinjiang!

I think those vehicles could also be of use, should an invasion of Taiwan occurs, as rear echelon control/patrol vehicles or even participating in front line urban action?
 
By my observations, the day of the open house nobody saw the significance of this; the same night I posted pictures online but nobody noticed; only after that firepower display exercise last week then people began to notice these ZSL-92B not those standard models...that they're customised for operations in HK and Macau

Did you post the HK Open House pictures on this forum? I must have missed them.

Here I only posted on #196 on this thread because initially I took very few photos this time and thought at first others might be more forthcoming, but even on China's forums (like fyjs I hang around daily) many didn't took notice of the new variant when I posted them a day after the event, and by my account next to nobody took notice; only after the live-fire demonstration newsreel got aired people took notice, but as yet mine are the few that covered in details.

Please post your HK Garrison Open House pictures on this forum if you have more. I will definitely appreciate it, as will I think the many other forum members who liked your photos from previous HK Garrison Open Houses.

This year round, check out what I've posted at the Small Arms thread for the rest...since I only focus on snapping new and/or rarely seen items, alas there's very little new stuff available for show this year....they didn't even show the anti-materiel rifle this year (last year's was first public debut) , they still won't display the new AGL (Macau Garrison has it and displayed for at least 2 years now) or the combat shotgun (seen once when those separatist clowns made a scene outside the Central Barracks), other than that, nothing new and worthy as far as I can tell.
