China New 6 × 6 Amphibious Armored Vehicle

Images have emerged showing that China is testing a new 6 × 6 armored amphibious armored vehicle. Both vehicles are very similar, but one of the differences is one (shown below) shorter.

Images have appeared in online forums showing that China is testing a new 6 × 6 armored amphibious armored vehicle.

The photos appear to show two very similar but different vehicles. The first vehicle seems to follow a fairly conventional 6 × 6 layout, with the driver and commander in front and the main access down through the hydraulic ramp.

The vehicle tower looks remote, allowing more space to be lowered in the smaller hull. The dome is fitted with a small electro-optic pole above the tower, and a grenade launcher bank mounted on either side of the main armament, the latter apparently a heavy machine gun.

The vehicle is equipped with front trim vanes and propellers fired for amphibious operations. The left rear of the hull of the vehicle seems to hold the additional power unit.

As with any amphibious vehicle, intake and exhaust engines tend to be installed on the roof of the hull. In addition, there are two crew shooting ports on each side, with the camera mounted in a hidden corner above the port. It is possible that this camera is part of the 360 ​​° awareness system for the crew.

The second vehicle follows a very similar but longer layout because the two box structures are mounted behind the main hull on both sides of the access road and door. One of these boxes contains an additional power unit, with a second box probably meant for storage of equipment. The tower was covered with camouflage nets in photographs but apparently equipped with panoramic views on the right side of the tower.
