New leaks show a highly developed main battle tank from China.

The fourth-generation military vehicle is said to be far superior to previous tanks.

Beijing – A video is currently circulating on the internet that probably shows a next-generation Chinese main battle tank.

Although the tank is reportedly still in the development phase, China has made "the first breakthrough in active jamming and interception technology."

What is meant by this is a protection system that is intended to protect the military vehicle with the help of smoke grenades and laser-based jammers, among other things.

On Twitter, Chinese speculate that the tank shown in the video is a futuristic main battle tank about which very little is known to the public so far.

In October 2022, the tank was first shown by state broadcaster

CCTV

– albeit covered by a sheet – in a report on Chinese army modernization.

The construction was dubbed "the strongest tank of the future".

Modern tank from China: Extensive use also possible at night

Chinese military expert Shan Zhongping told the South China Morning Post last fall that the "revelation" on state television indicated that the "development of China's most advanced main battle tank is almost complete."

According to Eurasiantimes.com

, the tank will have two crew members instead of the three currently deployed on the current Type 99.

Earlier leaks, which can be assigned with high probability to the new tank, show further insights.

In addition to a handle for the control system and a joystick for the gun control, a control panel should help with active and passive defense.

In addition, the tank should have high mobility, a stealth cloak and strong attack capabilities.

As Chinese media reported, thanks to the latest technology, the tank should be able to be used as extensively as possible day and night.

The new development of the Chinese arms industry could also serve as a deterrent to the West.

Among other things, the United States had pledged full support to the island nation of Taiwan should a military conflict with China arise.

Meanwhile, Beijing has been upgrading its own military apparatus for years.
