Everyone keeps saying that this is the "ZTZ201" this and that. Beyond the fact that it being a light tank would make it the ZTQ201, what on earth is the source for the anything 201? People are saying that the "ZTZ201" name was unveiled. Unveiled by who? Who has actually confirmed that at all?
There also is no sources that say this is a light tank either, so no it isn't confirmed to start with ZTQ.

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.

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.
