eh, I thought China’d developing a bustle auto-loaded MBT by now
no way … guess it never worked or did it?
purelly cosmetic
Well they are developing a new mbt
Got something pretty rare:
North Korean light tank. Supposedly based on the NK 323 APC, but bears no known official name, but believed to be in service in very limited numbers.
Built during mid 1970s, as a precursor to the ‘M1981’ Sinhŭng.
Typical engine front, fighting compartment at the rear setup (differs from ‘M1981’ Sinhŭng).
Likely mounting a 85mm cannon similar to Chinese Type 62, 14mm armor overall and 320hp engine.

yea … supposedly lighter one with a lighter cannon for more frequent pew pew than boom
dunno what happened to the Armata-esque MBT approach
Idk where img this from , but i think china might be working on a 99 ungrade or a new mbt , surely they won’t abandon large caliber gun tanks

Mind showing any sources? I couldn’t find anything indicating its actual existence. Would be hella cool if it does exist, as china would have a big cannon equivalent to other nations, such as the Leclerc 140mm, the M1 CATTB 140mm, the Challenger 130mm, the Leopard 2A4-140mm, the Object 292/other Russian 152mm prototypes, and any other big gun bois I can’t remember atm.
By any chance can you recall where this has been debunked at?
yea this is the armata “concept”
there was a rumor that they might … the ZTQ-15 proved much promising to them … smaller, nimble, less expensive & easily disposable … compared to something like losing few Armatas in the ongoing conflict
hence the leaked new light tank with a “fast-firing-75mm” might be one of the concepts they are trying … a la chinese HSTVL.
Anyways … all rumors

The source is in Russian and this is the only source that I have found. But it also said that even the Chinese are not sure that this is a 140mm cannon

the picture is not of the 140mm , this picture gets miss-labeld alot.
now there are still talks there WAS a 140mm varient that was prototyped , but this is not the picture of it.
well yea remember this leak:
and they were experimenting with larger/better guns
remember this:
pretty big but manoeuvring a tank with such massive barrel proves pretty cumbersome in urban areas
Indian Lineup would be nice:
4.) T-72M Combat Improved Ajeya MK-II
6.) BMP-2(M) Sarath ICV
- Interim Upgrade, will have dual ATGM, thermals, SA-cameras, etc.

The running gear and tracks are also not t-34
AMX-30EM2, Spain’s finest regarding the AMX-30. It had a better transmission (adopted in the earlier AMX-30ER1), laser rangefinding, digital optics with gen 2 thermals (if I’m correct), and access to a CETME APFSDS round

Mystery tank, appears to be a T-28 judging by the roadwheels, but is covered in additional plating, missing frontal turrets, and appears to have a longer/fake gun.
