Anything different from the A variant?
Looks like you can fit a fair amount of Pepsi Max in those back tanks.
APS for starters.
The official description from Xinhua seems to suggest the upgrades were chiefly in terms of electronics and ergonomics (i.e. more of a Strv 121 vs. Strv 121B difference), though there was a vague reference to “improved mobility in complex environments”. The commander HMG also seems to have been moved rearwards and replaced with a RWS.
APS doesn’t seem to have been fitted to the ones in the parade, though there have been earlier photos of ZTZ-99 tanks fitted with it.

Yeah, just noticed that. These ones with APS are older images:
No idea how legit that site is, though
I hope it has new FCS and better thermals
There have been some with ZTZ99s with APS going to Beijing too but during Parade they didn’t had them on. Also on each Video/Picture they always only had APS on one side of the Tank.
Maybe they didn’t manage to fit the APS on the Tanks Top? Seems to have already a lot of Stuff on it
Yea we have photos of ZTZ99B with APS that are coming to the parade.
Pretty sure the ztz99b would have Aps normally
I used to doubt the site but now I think it’s quite legit. We have plenty of evidence that supports this sites claims
