An unidentified tracked vehicle with mine detection system was spotted this Thursday during an inspection of a Ground Force division from the Central Theater Command of the People’s Liberation Army by President Xi Jinping.

According to a report by Beijing’s state-run central television (CCTV) on 4 January, the special combat vehicle with mounted mine detection system was developed for People’s Liberation Army. CCTV does not give any details of the new vehicle.

More:

According to the local source, this is new vehicle developed for the detection of metal and non-metallic buried explosives in the ground and near roads.

More:

The vehicle is equipped with multiple sensors and ground penetrating radar mounted in a special ramp. The antennas are arranged with a certain offset sidewise and lengthwise in such a way that there is no detection gap in driving direction.

Is this new? Another Chinese light utility vehicle spotted, this time a 2x2.

Probably just a simple off terrain golf cart type vehicle.

Gulf carts tend to be slow, short range, electric or a very low powered 4 stroke, designed for use in factories, gulf courses, campus environments with urbanized no risk terrain. they can carry 2 people and their clubs
These are UTV's they are longer range utility vehicles They have a medium speed and are designed to move in rough terrain. They are designed to roll over and can carry a weight of almost 3/4ths of a ton.
calling it a gulf cart is like calling the hindenburg a balloon

Well scientifically the Hindenburg is a balloon. A very large one.

Hmmmmmm... I think a ballon free floats and looses its shape when deflated while the Hindenburg is an airship and has a internal steel skeleton which lets it hold its shape when the gases are released and is also has engines and i steerable.

True, but both a balloon and an airship used gas to expand and float up though right, regardless of the structure?
