Apparently some UGV based on the 89FV was shown there.

Was just about to post that lol, did you see the Japanese-produced AMV as well?
Compared to the Patria-produced vehicle it at least gets smoke grenades, and maybe we’ll see it with more advanced systems further down the line.

That looks way too small, even for the average Japanese soldier

I mean, it might be a matter of perspective, the AMV is actually around a foot taller than the Type 96.
The Patria is also a little bit wider than the WAPC, but you may not notice because the walls are taken up by interior storage, so it can be a bit tight on the horizontal plane.

They are training giant hornets as shock troops maybe

Type 89 could receive its modernisation. That being it now uses Type 01 LMAT instead of the Type 79 as the stockpile for the 79 has basically ran out entirely
I have read nothing about them doing such a thing. Gonna need a source on that buddy.

Still waiting on that M163 TVADS which would actually fix a literal hole in the tech tree 🫠🫠

Can the length of the mast be corrected based on this photo?

probably can be put on suggestion forum. but i think the current one is a decision based on “balancing”? so if it’s 'bug report’ed it will be marked as not a bug
Gaijin marked this as a bug report to be fixed
but when the hell will they actually add it?

With the Type 11 SPAA being leaked and expected to come, will it even be any more useful than the normal Type 81 we have right now? I mean, it will be able to lock on from further, but is it gonna help against helis? The Type 81 already struggles against low flying helis due to their IRCCM and ability to just sit low. The ARH missiles of the Type 11 might not get a lock either, given the nature of helis just hovering about? Or am I missing something?
We aren’t getting type 11 we are getting a new version of Type 81 but with its radar and ARH missile…the missile will be able to hit helicopters just fine simce they are active homing not IR.
Sorry, that’s what I meant.
That’s my point. Won’t ARH missiles have issue locking onto helis that are just hovering in the air? If you take a Harrier, hover in place and someone tries to fire an AMRAAM or any other ARH missile, they won’t be able to. I fear the new SPAA will have the same issue.
The Type 81 we have right now at least has photocontrast mode and thus can hit helis that are high enough, no matter if they’re just sitting in place.
will it be an extension of the existing one or a straight up new vehicle (makes no sense imo. Going from Type 81C to Type 81C)
It will be a new one.
