As said over in CDF... it's possible. As usual a lot of people say but never show. So far I've seen two slightly different variations. This may be another.

I can tell it is CGI because the tank is way too sharp compared to the background, and the background noise in the picture. The picture looks Photoshopped from my perspective.

That's could be because of what type of lens and distance the shot was taken. That doesn't say anything about the tank itself.
What I notice that's odd is the image looks stretched overall.
The thing I question is some of the components on the turret itself has changed from previous images. But then those images too have slight difference from each other.

The backround may be a photograph, but the tank surely isen't. Its computerized drawing, and quite obvious one. Well made and nice looking, but GCI nevertheless.

Well, it's CGI. But it doesn't mean it isn't informative. Perhaps the artist just wanted an illustrative perspective given the not-so illustrative collection of photos. Interesting that the large box on the left turret (presumably the kill mechanism for the APS) is left out.
As to the device over the gun, it may also be a designator/guidance for ATGM?

Khalid uses french supplied FCS.
back in late 90's ,I have watch the video of fire demonstration from Leclerc tank .
3 tanks (discard amx-30?) target 2000 meter to 2500 meter,all hit ,first shot first hit in less than 15 second.
by contrast, Chinese FCS fro NORINCO sales brochure require something like 8~9 second to track and fire .in modern tank battle ,it was suicide.
according to JDW, Chinese engineer trying to overcome this problem.

Nope...
That is real picture, thats for sure, but the tank isen't Type 99 series, but the older Type 90/MBT 2000 export tank in its latest suite.
