The ZTZ-100 is a fourth-generation Chinese main battle tank that was officially unveiled in September 2025 and is considered part of a fundamental modernization of the People's Liberation Army. Unlike traditional heavy tanks, the ZTZ-100 deliberately prioritizes modern connectivity, automation, and active protection systems over extremely heavy armor. Weighing approximately 40 tons, it is powered by a hybrid diesel-electric drive delivering around 1,500 hp, enabling speeds of roughly 80 km/h on roads and about 50 km/h off-road. Its unmanned turret houses an automatic 105mm main gun capable of firing high-velocity rounds, alongside coaxial and remote-controlled secondary armament. The crew is accommodated within a highly protected capsule in the hull, a design intended to significantly enhance survivability. Advanced sensor and communication technology—including optical systems, radar, and integrated networks—transforms the tank into an information-centric node that shares data with drones and other units. For defense against guided weapons and drones, the ZTZ-100 employs Dual-GL-6 active protection systems, which use radar sensors to detect and intercept incoming threats.
