Are we sure this is MBT class? It looks light-ish to me.
I think this may be catalogued as a medium tank or a new class entirely. We´ve seen prototypes with extra armor (and not just extra side ERA, even the hatches were different) and 3 gun options so far. So this is what I´m thinking: this is a 2 man, low base weight "lego tank". With firepower, protection and mobility tayloreable depending on mission needs.

I wonder what the tall thingy shrouded under the camouflage on the back of the turret is... Awfully large and placed in a golden spot. My money is on some kind of hard-kill counter UAS system.

I wonder what the reason is for it to be able to retract; there is a high chance it's for reloading since if it has to poke out before intercepting, it's going to increase the reaction time needed for a successful interception.
reloading APS isn't normally done since after a few interceptions the sensors are gonna be basically non-functional.

If the system can't be reloaded why it's retractable? Also can you elaborate why the sensor will be non functional after a few interception? first time heard of that.
