There are four such missiles in total, which are improved analogues of the American Javelins. Plus 20 more guided shaped projectiles. In addition, there is a 30 mm automatic cannon and a 7.62mm machine gun.
Next to the combat module there is a platform for a reconnaissance multicopter. Multi-channel sights and sensors provide complete information about everything that happens nearby.

Agree, it looks very modern. However, this development is already six years old. We are talking about a multi-purpose combat vehicle, known as the QN-506, shown in 2018 at the Air Show China 2018, held in Zhuhai. This sample was considered as a kind of competitor to BMPT.
But then none of the potential customers were interested in the car, and now it turns out that its designers, as they say, were ahead of their time. Western tanks and infantry fighting vehicles began to work out the placement of all kinds of drones.

Perhaps many people were scared off at that time by the fact that an outdated Chinese medium tank Type 59 was used as a platform. However, many experts considered this decision to be temporary.
It is interesting to mention in the QN-506 the installation of special charges in the side screens, which made it possible to hit the approaching enemy infantry. In the current conditions, such active protection would also work quite effectively in the fight against incoming enemy FPV drones.
