Does anyone have any info regarding the concept tank in the pics below?

Much appreciated if anyone with knowledge to make some input regarding the concept and possible technologies it or any Chinese tank of next gen might have, including different armor tech or its applications, gun systems, electronics etc, thnx.

Cheers.

Whatever it is it seems to have very strong influence from Merkava IV regarding the turret. And for the body of the tank that is something very new.

It looks a lot like the T-80UM2 Black Eagle, also known as Project 640.

This is 99.99% a fan-art. More than enough seen on the net with tags like "china's new ultra modern stealth fighter", "new chinese x wing", "china's new hyper aircraft carrier" etc..

The Chinese seem quite taken in with the L2A6. The new Type 99 mod has additional top mounted armor and apparently an APS. Some people say the glacis plate has been revamped, but I personally can't tell.

Unsurprisingly made by Chinese people.

The Chinese do have a relatively new tank design if I recall, but it's so expensive that their fleet of T55 clones will retain the MBT role along with the new modern tanks.

Pretty much sums up Chinese tanks, along with the MADE IN USSR tag scratched off.
The Israeli Merkava Mk. II, Mk. III and Mk. IV are all based on the original Merkava turret with bolt-on appliqué armor (well, the turret dimensions were also slightly increased), while the same is true for the Magach series. It's not uncommon to find tanks with changed turret profiles due to bolt-on armor, such as the T-80 with Kontakt-5 explosive reactive armor, et cetera.

Looks futurisitc, where did u get those pics from?
It sure looks kinda Israeli to me. Can anyone can tell me what it's main armament is? I've always thought they would stay with the Type 99 for a while, looks like they've changed their minds again.
