just read through the article
"它的威力不在于它的炮，而是在于它身后看不到的各种远程火力"
the author is arguing that the new 4th gen mbt will co-exist with 3rd gen mbt by providing Enhanced Situational Awareness and provide recon for long range artillery.
the thing is, why does this need to be a tank? if it is supposed to be alongside other 3rd gens, why even give it a gun? just make a dedicated command/ recon tank. we already saw mengshi jeeps with such capabilities

Are you gonna have those mengshi jeeps at the very frontline?

Or those recon tanks without guns, but first when it comes to breaching the enemies lines?

However, simultaneously, this add-on armor fundamentally conflicts with Active Protection Systems (APS). It blocks the firing arcs and detection fields of APS components. I would argue that add-on armor and APS are mutually exclusive at the same physical locations—installing APS precludes adding extensive armor there, and vice versa.

If your turtlebaka is designed this way and isn't just field repair shops' big mek's baby, you can fit APS and sensor heads on it.
Turtle tanks, same with Ukrainian brick works, are ultimately a desperate cry onto how horribly insufficient top, side and rear protection of modern tanks is.

The more ironic part is that it appears new IFV can be exactly that, without interfering with it's heavy IFV function.
It's both 低空 AA node and S/A enhancer(I wonder if dismounts can interact with sensors and drones comfortably enough from inside), way more than other 4 new AFVs.

Btw, another notable - new amphibious planing "禁止拍照" tank seems to use same gun and GFCS, but in otherwise completely different turret.
Tbh i wonder why it doesn't use APS as well - huge, relatively weakly armored, exposed vehicle should need it the most? Maybe because Ka- band really hates water particles, but is it that bad even point blank?
