It seems that most of the new Chinese tracked vehicles will be equipped with active protection systems. In any case, all the combat vehicles that lit up at the rehearsal of the September anniversary military parade in Beijing had KAZ. This is a new generation tank, presumably called the ZTZ-201, an infantry fighting vehicle based on it, a new amphibious assault vehicle and an armored personnel carrier based on this BMD.
The latter is an example of what a technique of this class should be at the present time. The APC has enhanced mine protection. The sides, front and stern received enhanced reservations.

The installed combat module has a 12.7mm machine gun, a 35 mm automatic grenade launcher and guided anti-tank missiles of a new generation. A multi-channel sight is available for detection and precise targeting. The crew has television cameras at their disposal, giving a full overview of what is happening next to the armored vehicle, satellite navigation equipment and an automated command and control system.
