On September 28, 2021, an aerospace salon opens in Zhuhai, where the Chinese military industry will present previously unknown samples of military equipment, including those intended for the ground forces.
Military experts, for example, do not rule out the appearance of a new generation tank, although, for now, probably in the form of a model. Now it is obvious that after an excessive fascination with wheeled armored vehicles, there is a great interest in such combat vehicles on the world weapons markets, and the Chinese are sensitive to all wishes.
It is difficult to say whether the new tank will be an analog of the "Armata" or whether a 140-mm, and possibly even a 152-mm gun will be installed on it. It has been said for a long time that work on such guns in the PRC is underway, according to some reports, they were tested back in the zero years. It is possible that the artillery systems were brought to mind.
It is also interesting how far the creation of a heavy infantry fighting vehicle has progressed, which, in turn, was called a competitor to the Russian T-15 BMP. Maybe it will already be shown in metal? There are less than three weeks left before the start of the exhibition, and then it will become clear whether such expectations will be met.
