Chinese tank?

[s3kiz]

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.

that looks more like an artist's impression of a future project

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.

Needs AAPS, also are those optics able to rotate 360? I hope that armour is coupled with NERA.

it does closely resemble the merkeva IV

Looks like its a basic tank where they have bolted big chunks of armor onto it...

Pretty much sums up Chinese tanks, along with the MADE IN USSR tag scratched off.

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..

At least surrealistic design.
Chinese apprenticeship, 96% national orientation.
17 % import.

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.

its a animated movie or comic book article for sure and some one has taken it 1 step forward and drawn CHINA all over it.

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.

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.
