The armor on that stealth tank must be lacking.
Also, what does it do to combat the heat signature caused from a main gun after firing. What about heat from the exhaust?
Limited role is what I see from the PL-01.

I was mildly curious about the weight as well...If memory serves, the M48 and the M60A1 tipped the scales at around 50 tons (more or less) and I "think" the Abrams was around the same. 35 tons would put this vehicle in the neighborhood of a early version Sherman WWII tank.
Now, of course, with this "stealth" ability" it CAN stay off the radar of enemy planes and most ground anti-tank capabilities. But still - it would only take a split second of being seen, to take it out with a hell fire or the latest shoulder fired anti tank weapon.
