Die chinesische Marineinfanterie (People's Liberation Army Navy Marine Corps - PLANMC) könnte alsbald einen neuen Typ von Amphibienpanzer erhalten:

China tests new family of amphibious infantry fighting vehicles to replace the Type 05 [...]

China is developing a new generation of amphibious infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs) to replace the existing Type 05 family. Recent imagery reveals a new platform that could feature an unmanned turret and an active protection system (APS). The vehicle, identified by hull number 003, appears to incorporate mobility and survivability improvements for amphibious operations. [...] Reports indicate that the new amphibious IFV, identified by hull number 003, could integrate multiple sensor systems for target acquisition and active defense, likely forming part of a hard-kill APS. This approach differs from Western designs that use composite or NERA armor as layered passive armor, which increases weight. The Chinese model prioritizes active defenses, which are suited for light vehicles where conventional armor provides limited protection. [...]

The Type 05 amphibious combat vehicle family was developed in the early 2000s to replace older platforms such as the Type 63A amphibious tank. The People's Liberation Army required a high-speed amphibious vehicle capable of over-the-horizon deployment and increased firepower.

Vor dem Hintergrund der Spannungen mit Taiwan nicht ganz unwichtig.
