The guy I mentioned (Obj-477) says,

translation of the last sentence: BTW the new light tank uses 5th gen ERA.
BTW this post is about an article about the Type 15, written by Taiwan, which is actually very objective compared to some other Taiwan articles.
Except that it said M1A2T's KE was 850, and the weight of the Type 15 was 36t (which is actually the full weight of VT5, the actual weight of Type 15 should be 30t
(version without ERA, for example the version showed in the 2019 parade) or 33t
(version with FY5, which has been frequently exposed in various official magazines and on the internet))
.
BTW i tried to measure the thickness of FY5 in the ZTQ15 post by naked eye and it seems that its length×width×thickness is roughly
(250±5mm, or 400±30mm)×(155±15mm)×(150±10mm), which is nearly twice the thickness of FY4 so I guess it probably either uses multiple layered <Duplet> styled energy-gathering-effect ERA modules (along with metal plates), or it simply uses some new mechanism.

specs on the GJB 2336A-2014 for FY1,2,4

I, II and III represents FY1, FY2 and FY4 respectively. the parameters are length×width×thickness.
PS: I've never found any essays related to FY5 so if somebody has one please share it.
PPS: I'm new here so I don't yet really know how much people in this forum are simply interested in Chinese military technologies or are they in favor of China, or if they see China as an enemy, so please tell me something about that.
