Red arrow 20/50?I have an impression of its demonstration video at Zhuhai Air Show. Can you confirm that the top hatch cover is opened in this way?

FL-30 loitering munition launcher (it has a flatter ceiling).
And this is the HJ-20/50 ATGM launcher (it has a visible protrusion of the VLS).
Oh there is certainly a resemblance on the roof cover to what we see on Type 100
The way it folds excludes this particular hatch design from being the same as the type 100 though.
Yes though Type 10 might have some sliding mechanism to the left side. But the height of the "box" protruding over the roof looks very similar.
Boy everyone seems to darn bent on having VLS on the ZBD100 vehicle. I haven't seen anything that would support this. The posted images of the FL30 or HJ20 are great but they don't prove anything. In fact due to the size of both munitions (FL30 & HJ20) vice the ZBD100 back deck, there is not enough real estate to support a VLS for a munition. Did anyone do a size comparison to the munition to the ZBD100 back deck with imagery analysis of size relationship of munitions size to the area of the ZBD100 to support the position of a VLS system?
Actually, CCTV announced that Type 100 has ATGM in September. However, only very few people have noticed this, even on Chinese internet.
The expert in the show mentioned the size of the missile. He said that the missile has a small size but is still highly lethal.
