PLA Next Generation Main Battle Tank
- Thread starter by78
- Start date
There also is no sources that say this is a light tank either, so no it isn't confirmed to start with ZTQ.
Coaxial gun and rcw installed
Okay, fair, but I'm a little more focused on the 201 part. Source? 201 would imply it was in service since 2020 which is a damn big claim to make.
clearest frontal picture yet, sensors at the leading edge, this one has the MGs mounted on. looks like those shiny engine deck covers/drone pad covers have come off too
wonder if anyone can say if the EO ball looks normal or if there’s a laser DEW in there

Is there any possible function for this sharp bulge or is it purely aesthetic?
Signature reduction?
Sorry.. could you explain how it could be for signature reduction? Is it just adding space between the real turret and the outside so the thermal signature isn't as high?
IMO, the angular appearance of the tank might be for radar signature reduction like how ships do. I guess it makes them less visible against SAR or aerial recon.
