Interesting... The new VN23 8x8 vehicle mounting a turret that appears to be from a VT5 light tank.

Smart mines with omni-directional detection capabilities and can autonomously maneuver themselves into attack positions. The second one is especially interesting, because it releases a flying top-attack munition with an attack radius of up to 5km.

This is pretty nasty stuff. The Russians have something similar they use in Ukraine. PTKM-1R.


I have seen these smart mines stop an entire Ukrainian armored assault.

It is "Missile", it is also "Missiles". How you want to mount, one or four missiles, is up to you.

It has a laser weapon mounted too.

Didn't realize it was the same turret as the 6x6. However, the missile is completely different. This one is larger. There was also a previously shown photo with a QW-series SAMs. I remember remarking that the system is interestingly modular.

I think the laser is actually on the truck behind.

Have there ever been models of the manufacturing lines before?
It is interesting because I wonder if it is any indication of export goals. Trying to increase the export of industrial equipment to take market share from Germany and Japan.

There have been, but not for IFVs if I recall correctly. However, CG representations of various production lines have been present at various shows for years now.

I mean China is happy to export various production lines to overseas customers. Some Chinese APC/MRAP are already made overseas. But you'll need deep pockets and an acute need for large numbers of armoured vehicles to even consider importing an entire production line for IFVs, few nations are in that position.
