Major hat tip to Madmusti for the pics!
We've covered this turret before and I'm going to have to search the blog for the post but I think this is a refined version of what we first saw. I'm gonna have to verify it but I'm almost sure. Note the coaxial gun? Moved. Additional sensors for what I'm assuming is a remote for the gunner and vehicle commander....
The hatches confuse me though. I'm wondering if its purely for maintenance/weapons feeding or if this might be a move toward an optionally manned turret.
One thing I do know is that they're following the current trend of keeping everything under armor...feed chutes and the ability to reload while protected. A major consideration for a vehicle that's expected to go into and remain in harms way.
