I’ve seen the designation of VN12A Light Tank. Would be a solid addition along with the VT5/ZTQ15 tanks. Probably like 9.0-10.0 pending ammo choices, armor composition, reload, etc. Idk enough about it.

The best APFSDS available for Chinese 105mm is DTC02-105, which has a penetrator length that is slightly longer than even M900. Around 530-540mm at point-blank range against flat armor. Other ammo will be the gun-launched ATGM ingame already and SAP round.
Armor-wise it will depend on the choice of the buyer. A nation can probably opt for heavier armor package that will protect similarly to ZBD04A (which is protected against 30mm API rounds) or a lighter one that provides basic protection up to 23 or 25mm autocannon.
The length of the turret is quite short so it is likely that it is using a manual loader with similar reload time to vehicles like ZLT-11 currently ingame.

This is more interesting to me though. It is a short-barrel 125mm gun but it has a bustle autoloader. It might mean that China has developed single-piece 125mm ammo (of course, don’t quote me on that just yet).

Probably still under development. Rumors say it is supposed to be the next MBT. that pic has the green 105mm cannon, but there are multiple versions both in terms of armament and armour and additional systems.

i severely doubt it, the av8b+ radar is worse than the regular an apg 65, and ive heard of an apg 73 being put on legacy hornets
the an apg 73 is an upgraded 65 so either the articles got mixed up or there is a new varaint of the 65 we dont know of
What missile system was that?
Which one there is 2 Hafiz uses spike and the HVSD/ADAMS has barak 1
