Norinco SR-5 in 6x6 variant? Or a modified ZBL maybe ...

Can't see anything else except Otomah or Patria ( with a set of wheels missing lol ).

Keep up the good work Zarvan mate, Tay.

I am not too sure if this vehicle is for PAP, unless it is to be repainted after delivery. PAP armoured vehicles are usually painted in white, with thin blue strips painted along the length of the body.

This one:

According to the Chinese on the right top of the image, it is a "安防车"(Armed Security Vehicle).

Thank you very much for that info, mate!



Security fits with the presence of a blade.
It's a clean design too.

Have a great day, Tay.

A new picture of this vehicle:

This picture was taken in Tanggula Pass. It was the highland testing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanggula_Pass

Most Chinese Armed Vehicles are amphibious.

China testing new 6×6 amphibious armoured vehicles

Images have emerged suggesting that China is testing new 6×6 amphibious armoured vehicles. The two vehicles are very similar, but one of the apparent differences is that one of them (seen here) is shorter. Source: Via Army.81.cn

Images have emerged on online forums suggesting that China is testing new 6×6 amphibious armoured vehicles.

The photographs appear to show two very similar, but subtly different vehicles. The first vehicle seems to follow a fairly conventional 6×6 layout, with driver and commander at the front and primary access for dismounts via a hydraulic ramp to the rear.

The vehicle turret appears to be remote, thus allowing more space for dismounts in a smaller hull. The turret is equipped with a small electro-optic mast atop the turret, and a bank of grenade launchers mounted on either side of the primary armament, the latter of which appears to be a heavy machine gun.

The vehicle is equipped with a forward-folding trim vane and ducted propellers for amphibious operations. The rear left of the vehicle hull seems to hold an auxiliary power unit.

As with other amphibious vehicles, the engine intake and exhaust is likely to be mounted on the roof of the hull. In addition, there are two crew firing ports on each side, with cameras mounted in a recessed nook above the ports. It is possible that these cameras form part of a 360° awareness system for the crew.

The second vehicle follows a very similar layout but is longer due to two box structures mounted behind the main hull on either side of the access ramp and door. One of these boxes contains the auxiliary power unit, with the second box likely meant for equipment storage. The turret has been covered with camouflage netting in the photographs but it appears to have been fitted with a panoramic commander’s sight on the right side of the turret.
