A similar tank was seen in March 2023 on a street in the city of Houth in the internal region of Mongolia of China, which indicates that this model can be part of the internal development or testing project.
Experts believe that this model is an example of technical modernization, which can be represented by countries that still use old versions of T-72 tanks, which are distributed in many armies of the world.
The new combat tower is characterized by a strengthening shield in the front and ceiling, which enhances protection against upper attacks and controlled weapons.
A multi -channel correction system was also installed, including panoramic (comprehensive vision), used by the leader of the tank. It was also added to the tank weapon with a large caliber machine gun, which is controlled remotely. While the main gun remained unchanged.
No adjustments to the suspension rollers (supporting wheels) and guns were very likely, but it is likely that the engine power increased to increase the performance of movement and the ability to maneuver.
