DRDO could have participated in this exhibition with its Arjun tanks.

Anyway, excellent photos on Polish armaments.

This is a concept technology demonstrator of new tank designed by PHO and BAE.

The turret is clearly unmanned design, we can see RCWS on top of turret and active protection system elements.

Hull seems to be based on CV90 but is deeply modified, also vehicles seems to include some sort of Stealth technology.
so those designs are stealth panels like in stealth helicopters ? pretty impressive........

Yes, there are attempts to somehow integrate armor and stealth panels in to one as far as I understand. There is also possibility that we will adapt BAE ADAPTIV thermal camouflage system.

front mounted powerpack is shit, best put it at the back. The front hull would heat up and your tank would say hi to thermals. anyway
I wonder if there exists or plans to make combined composite armor/NERA/RAM panels, think about it there would be radar transparent carbon composite
shells as hard as steel then RAM that is also reactive element behind it.

But this is not even main battle tank, this vehicle is officialy classified as direct support vehicle or light/medium tank. It does not need to have MBT protection at it is designed to supplement MBT not replace it. Not to mention that presented vehicle only shows general direction of the project, the real hull is still in development phase, what we see is only modified CV90 hull.

Nobody knows how it will end, project might change several times, vehicle can even grow larger and heavier, can end up with engine mounted at rear, or have hybrid diesel electrive drive with small power generating diesel engines in side hull sponsons.
