35mm AGL as turret weapon, it seems. Hopefully also as RWS.

Looks like this tank is already conducting excercises.

It has grenade launcher at the back of the turret

It seems that the new type light tank of this picture has RWS similar to VT - 5

The VT-5 RWS is pretty neat. Mounts both 35mm AGL and 12.7mm HMG in tandem.
Let's see if the light tank will also feature that.

It appears the driver's station has a pop-up cupola. Don't think I have ever seen that before. Makes it easier to drive in different weather and protects against sniper rounds?

Maybe some protection against shrapnel, doubt it'll do much against sniper rounds.

it's not the first time we've seen it, they've had them on IFVs and other AFVs before. they won't be used in combat, probably more for routine driving in non combat conditions

What's in the rectangular cut outs in the corners of the turret? Not gunner sight as that is in the raised box, APS maybe?
