Just a nice image to mark the 95th anniversary of the founding of the PLA.

Interesting new modification on the commander cupola, seems like an upgrade for day use with larger periscopes but a downgrade for night use as it doesn’t seem to be compatible with more advanced optics, I wonder what was the reason for that. Also seems to be a batch of new builds with the factory finish without camo.

These are not standard Type 96s. They are a special variant modified for the International Army Games, with more powerful engines and other changes. They will never see service.
