That’s really cool ngl. I want it
Currently the Mirage 2000-5F and Mk.2 would be the same in game. The 2000 5F shouldn’t carry guided ammunition, and the Mk2 should. The Mk2 is also a 2 seater AFAIK, and might actually lack guns, but that would be the only meaningful difference). Mirage 2000-5F and Mirage 2000 RMV would be more consistent within Gaijin’s current vehicle options and load outs. However, I actually doubt the MICA IR will be made available to the 5F, rather to one of the earlier Rafale variant, to make it more unique (first fighter with MICA IR). The RMV could still be equipped with the MICA IR as it’s a dedicated bomber without the possibility to carry MICA EM and would only carry 2 MICA IR max for their AA loadout
The first prototype of the MCV based on the Type 96 armored personnel carrier with a turret from the Type 10 tank.

I was told this was photoshopped
Yeah, the turret scale just seems off.
Maybe
*light tank (presumably)
That isnt russian system, also you just say Shtora you dont translate it.
I am pretty sure this if french own development.
It looking like Shtora is simply a coincedence.
hmm … and Type 96 doesn’t seem suitable enough to carry even moderate IFV turrets let alone an MBT turret
also … I still find it dissapointing that JSDF chose Finnish Patria AMV-Xp over a domestic platform for its Type 96 replacement.
I mean look what they could’ve got :
Komatsu WAVImproved

Historically the JGSDF has only purchased armored vehicles made in Japan. Only two companies competed for the Type 96 contracts: Mitsubishi and Komatsu.
In 2015 Komatsu won the contract.
“However during testing of the Improved WAV/WAPC, the JGSDF demanded lots of changes and was not satisfied with the Improved WAPC’s protection level … the company meanwhile claimed that the JSDF demands were not possible to be met within the budget and weight limit.
In 2019 Komatsu decided to withdraw from the program and stop military AFV production, as the company’s defence sector was nearly operating at a loss. (Similarly they also stopped Komatsu LAV prodcution and hence JSDF is forced to select foreign IMV as its replacement.) The JGSDF did not order enough vehicles to sustain an economic production while no exports were possible.
Being otherwise limited to just a single domestic supplier (Mistubishi) for AFVs after Komatsu’s exit, the Japanese MoD was forced to accept foreign bids for the Type 96 replacement program. The program was restarted but with different requirements and foreign bids were considered. A lot of potential wheeled APCs/IFVs on the market are incompatible with the weight limit, hence only the GDLS LAV 6.0 and the Patria AMV-Xp were shortlisted alongside Mitsubishi’s Type16 derived ICV/MAV.”
And GDLS LAV also withdrew which gave the Patria AMV-Xp the clear win over the inferior Mitsubishi ICV/MAV:
