A new Chinese tracked vehicle family emerges
Little is known about this new IFV but thus far it seems to have developed a complete family of variants in various stages of testing or field deployments. Some unconfirmed claims pointing to a heavy Type 89/ZSD89/YW534 mod, but without a closer inspection or an official acknowledgement from Norinco, they are still speculations.
At any rate, the PLA is long over due for a modern tracked vehicle, this is especially true consider the weak armor protection the old Type89 and 86 families have to offer.

Not sure what new ATGM it will carry but rumor has it, it will be the new the "Sino-Spike" we have seen previously.
