Apparently, the car is alternative, since the Chinese have no technical prerequisites for creating such a machine.

Here are some of the technical data that I managed to translate.

So, the car is armed with 2 * 3 30 mm electromagnetic rail guns. The crew of this machine is 2 people - a driver and a shooter. The machine is equipped with the Morka active protection system. The armor of this car is biomechanical (I don't know what they mean). The tracks are made using a triple suspension system.

Among the ammunition in the vehicle's arsenal there will be sub-caliber projectiles made of depleted uranium, ammunition with carbide segments (I also don’t know what we are talking about), binary projectiles with white phosphorus and projectiles with a tungsten core (it remained a mystery to me why use both ammunition and uranium at the same time and with tungsten). So in the arsenal of the tank there are traditional fragmentation ammunition and the most that among these ammunition are fragmentation shells stuffed with non-lethal rubber granules.

Well, it seems that everything I could, more or less accurately translate, but there are still some systems described in the figure whose purpose I could not figure out. But I hope to do this with your help.

By the way, note that a three-track tank remains a mystery to me - why such tricks, in my opinion, would be enough for two.
