Z-10 thread

[Deino]

I don't see that many difference between Z-10A and Z-10K, other than camou patterns. New radar absorbing material on the K model?

As far as I know externally the most obvious difference is a new gun, that however was also seen on some regular Z-10As.

One thing I am confused: is the new gun a 23mm, 25mm, 20mm, or 12.7mm calibre?

Most probably 23x115mm AM 23 (type-23-1) derivate.

Most probably 23x115mm AM 23 (type-23-1) derivate.

That's the most likely choice, 12.7x108 is good against jeeps but impotent vs modern armor, the PLA only has one 20mm round in service and that's for infantry weapons. The 25mm round in PLA service are ground based tripple A. 23mm seems there round of choice for aircraft.

How about the 25mm automatic cannon mounted on the type 92 IFV?

 

[TerraN_EmpirE]

I forgot about that one, but the muzzle device and barrel is a bit on the smallish size for a 25mm.

Can any Pakistani members here verify this?

If it's legit, how soon is the testing supposed to conclude and what aspects of the Z-10 is noticeable during testing?

Also, look at that sweet sweet Samsung S5. I've got the exact same one.

Wish it showed more of the gun as well.
