PLA Next Generation Main Battle Tank
- Thread starter by78
- Start date
IDK, the hull seems legit since we've seen it before. The turret till now has always been covered by tarps, but it doesn't match this picture of presumably an earlier version of the tank. It might also be a different variant or vehicle all together.
Also, this tank seems to have cameras/EO sensors all around the vehicle for 360 view presumably similar to 5th gen aircrafts with HMD. Could also point to unmanned operations.
Wait - So they just decided to transport the whole thing out in the open across the city streets/railway lines without even putting a tarp or scaffolding over much of the entire body, despite setting up movement limitations around the parade venue as discussed in the 9-3 parade thread? Lol.

I think there's 3 crew members. I see 3 distinct periscopes on the hull with the 3rd in the middle.
What is this? Interior of the tank

IFV looks like something else completely. (distinct hullform) hull is slanted down toward the front from the entire way back like a ZBD04A and there no engine bump unlike the new tank hull
this is probably ZBD14 /s [doge] or whatever heck name the PLA decides to give it
What a beauty 
It makes sense to have three crew sitting next to each other in an armoured box similar to those of T-14 Armata. Driver, gunner/loader, and the commander who controls the RCW and drones.
Type-15, not 99
