No, it isn’t. It’s the old Paladin turret on a new tracked vehicle. There are in-turret upgrades as well, but the Paladin is considerably heavier than the Chinese PCL-181. Then again, they’re not really filling identical roles. The PCL-181 is more mobile on a road net, but the Paladin is designed to follow the Abrams and Bradleys as needed and the PCL-181 can’t do the same with their equivalents.
