Amphibious armored reconnaissance vehicle based on ZBD-05's chassis. The retractable mast mounts visible light and infrared cameras, a laser range finder, and a millimeter wave radar. The vehicle is equipped with the Beidou satellite positioning system as well as INS navigation. It can also launch small drones to further augment its recon range. Also note the new turret/gun shield just behind the driver's compartment.

More on the amphibious armored reconnaissance vehicle based on the ZBD-05 chassis.

I can't find the article captured in the screen shot. It says a CEO of a metal product company revealed that its 7055 aluminum alloy has been used on a new "air-droppable tank". I think the reporter is unfamiliar with proper military terminologies: not every armored vehicle is a tank. I think this could well indicate a new IFV for the Airborne troops.

Hi guys. Are there any resemblance between those two cannons?

Is it just me or does the drivers compartment look super spacious and somewhat a little too sterile? (I expected wires, electronics, equipment and whatnot cluttering the interior)

A much clearer view of the new 8x8 IFV. You can see a significantly up-armored turret with what appears to be a 30mm (?) autocannon with fluted barrel.

As pointed out to me by a colleague, it seems like the turret on this new 8x8 IFV may have similarities with the VE32A export recon IFV
