For a vehicle that hasn't entered service, it is shown up a bit lately. Not a lot, but more that usual. The following was from a CCTV video of the ZBD-05 capabilities and the beach landing (time mark at ~5:02-5:05) shows a pair of vehicle with on being the GCZ-111 and the ZBD-05 breacher vehicle, for a total of two pairs.Cheers mate, I believe this is a new variant and has not yet entered service and has no designation yet. At least not that I have found but you are correct, the previous model is the GCZ111
So in my humble "Dumb Tanker' assessment, it would appear that with the Amphibious Hvy CA BDEs in the CBT SPT BN, the engineers have a breaching section consisting of two GCZ-111 and two of these ZBD-05 Breacher vehicles. Just an observation. It could be that the vehicles are not fully entered service and they are still testing it. Or developing the doctrine for employment.
Just a Dumb Tanker thought of the vehicle. Still would like to figure out the name of the vehicle.
