The reason I wrote that last reply was to assert that the logic behind why the IFV (if it has a 40mm gun) may be using the same 40mm gun as the CS/AA5.
I'm not sure what this reply and your last one to me was really meant to convey, if anything.

It resembles the Russian one here https://www.sinodefenceforum.com/russian-military-pictures-videos.t6885/page-110#post-437811
Tbh I don't see the resemblance, between either the large/green one or the smaller/yellow one compared to the Russian IFV (bmp-2?)

If you observe its chassis size, it'd be too small for the typical multipurpose IFV market, and more lean towards airborne, air-drop IFV type of deal. Now, we all know that those who deploy such vehicles all made their own airborne IFVs, so this could very well be a new R&D specimen or bid sample.
I assume you're only talking about the smaller sand coloured IFV, which makes sense as an airborne sized IFV.
But the larger green IFV I think is quite sizeable and in the right area to be considered a standard, true IFV. If anything it looks bigger than the ZBD04A.

The turret could also simply be conducting trials aboard an interim chassis. The real thing probably comes with a Kurganets-style armor configuration + updated chassis.

British or should I say western press bullshit, scare mongering at it's best.
It's a pretty amateur article in my opinion. (oh and that comment section is an absolute cancer)
