The new tank appears to be based on the existing ZTQ-15 model, which is known to be used by the Chinese army. The ZTQ-15 weighs over 30 tons and is equipped with a 1000 horsepower engine. It is equipped with a 105 mm gun with automatic loading and has a hydropneumatic suspension that allows you to adjust ground clearance.
The new model will reportedly have a gun of similar caliber, but some sources suggest it could use an electrothermochemical variant. In addition, the combat module includes a remote-controlled weapon station, which in China is equipped with 12.7 mm machine guns or 35 mm automatic grenade launchers.
The crew is placed in the main hull equipped with various sensors located in the front and sides. This arrangement assumes the possibility of unmanned control.
More detailed information about the new product will most likely be presented at upcoming defense fairs.
