I just hope we get a proper IFV for 9.0-9.7 before the end of the year, is dumb how long does the Chinese tech tree has to wait to receive a necessary addition, now they even have the perfect opportunity to add the ZBL-08 with a similar implementation to the ICVs(Type 24 & Type25)
Regular ZBL-08 goes to the tech tree
And the ZBL-08 with expandable commander surveillance station goes to squad vehicle

so long not adding ZBD-86A, remind me of the meme I made long ago. Both turret and hull are already in game
also, about this thread
CSK-141 with remote controlled Pf-98A rocket launcher

well it is safer and requires very inexpensive machinery so the remote controlled Pf-98A rocket launcher makes sense.
Any info on this vehicle? I came across the image while looking for the ZSD-90 image but I didn’t find a lot of info in the forum where this image was, is it a test vehicle for an unmanned ground vehicle or something?

unknown vehicle, I guess just a test bed based on ZSD-89 with no name. this type remote controlled turret is seen on VP-10, ZBL-08, and could have some relation with VN-1C and CS/VP-16’s turret

I went to search a little more about it and I just see it mentioned as Type 85 RCWS
Sadly that particular gallery of images no longer is accessible but I found it mentioned on this blog:
So unmanned turret but the crew will sit on the hull, could be another potential ifv for the tech tree if more info is found?
Found another article that specifies the test bed was created as a potential export vehicle but aside from specifying that the ATGM is an HJ-73 there’s not a lot really, quite a shame with that 25mm and the ATGM it could have been a good 8.3 IFV option
closer look

It is a preceding technology turret for the UW4B turret on the VN1C, but there is no specific information available.

You know I’m really curious as to what gun is it on the VN1C, we’ve seen it a couple times already including on the ZBL221
this is actually the hull’s name, Type 85 AFV
only know it’s a chain gun like bushmaster, nothing else

Maybe the gun is based on the H/PJ17 naval auto cannon
I have noticed China had made good use of the RC 6 x 6 flat bed. Guess its the ideal work horse.

Sums up M60 modernization programs

M60s modernizations are a strange one they always seem to be half baked efforts likely because there is little much you can do besides slap some ERA over it and call it a Tuesday. Then again it was easier at one time to just buy a new tank from the USA then to try to do what nations have done to there T-55s and such you might even have the USA pay for a chunk of your new tanks.
With drones though the M60s around the globe may just get a second chance as a may to fill losses.
