I suppose logically with that arrangement, a separated ammunition compartment, it should have blowout panels. It just makes sense - it's not like blowout panels are hard to do right?

I have always wonder what these things at all corners of the turret are. Milimetre wave radar plus a 360 degrees optical system?A Type-15 on static display as part of the National Day celebration.

The optical windows are likely laser warning receivers.
could be the detecter for the active electromagnetic armor they were talking about
It sort of looks like the VT-5 model on the left has either a blow out panel or an access panel for the autoloader. I looked at some pictures of the ZTQ-15 and it has a similar looking panel but there are some kind of storage boxes attached to it.Both VT4 and VT5 have received new export designations, 15E and 99AE respectively. I'm somewhat surprised at VT-5's new designation.

That's a very weird looking Type 15.
