Another fictional tank that I really like. It was created by a Chinese internet user sometime in 2015 and was never an official military development. Another Armata inspired design, remote turret, crew in the hull.

I honestly wished China had actually built something like this instead of ZTZ-100. It felt rather disappointing and lackluster in comparison. Still, one of the most awesome and gorgeous designs I've ever seen for a tank! Very realistic, very plausible and I've felt for a while that this type of design is going to be the trend for AFVs in general.

Remote turrets, standard APS installations, armored capsules in the hull. That's what I think it's headed towards. Manned turrets are basically ancient relics of the past and really has become unnecessary with the advancements of technology, in my opinion. Akin to WW1 tanks having their engine in the same compartment as the crew. It's just much better and safer to have no humans inside the structure with all the explosive ammunition and moving parts.
