TR-85M1
…
Surprisingly for such an odd “MBT” variant, a TR-85M1R variant was showcased at BSDA 2024.

This kinda looks like VT-5. It could be a new variant of it.
Two turrets at hull UF, likely armored crew capsule at front a la Armata style … hence the 105mm turret might be crewless

This hull’s size is almost same as VT-5s. It could be the further development of the VT-5U. That tank also had unmanned turret.
can be ZTQ-15 derived … who knows?
but ZTQ-15 is pretty new in defense terms … dunno what are they planning.
Doesn’t seem export only either.
Wheeled type 10? Wowee
They say it’s a 76mm cannon
yea, to me the barrel seemed pretty skinny as well.
Because it doesn’t use a fume extractor, and thinner thermal sleeve, I think it’s a 105mm gun, might not be Chinese L7 or modified L7, but a new gun. The possible retractable ADS shown in other new pic(not in my hands now) is very interesting, seems able to reload.
for example, AbramsX’s 120mm gun is also pretty skinny as a 120mm.

no，it was not even a military vehicle.
Many Chinese universities offer two weeks of military training for new students.But in order to reflect the military atmosphere, they usually lease vehicles and weapon models from private enterprises.

Thats what I read recently as well.
Poland did it better over a decade ago. The PL-01 was a big meme when it was first revealed, but since then it has mostly faded into obscurity. Still, vehicles with less information have been added to War Thunder before.
Not that a future Polish tech tree is lacking in top tier tank options, but this would still be a stong contender for the light tank line in rank VII or even VIII.

This was probably just a mockup. But the chinese one seems functional
