From the licensed Polish manufacturer it's the HITFIST 30P turret crewed by two.

The first ref. supports this from 3 months ago also it's indicating the remote ZSSW-30 had just finished the first of its live firing tests at the time of the article. See the bottom 2 paras.

Now to BUMAR-ŁABĘDY S.A. site...

(Note the PDF files at bottom.)

What is troubling was that there was no mention of the ZSSW-30 (Which will also have 2 SPIKE Medium distance launchers.) on the website as you'll see from where I pulled the above two refs from. Might still be in Manufactures or joint testing phase.

Off topic but confirms what some of us suspected and this has expanded since this news announcement was released to apparently include up to the T-84 OPLOT-M more recently.

Will address the M-84 issue later in the MBT Thread.

I need to hit the rack!

EDIT: Almost forgot again saw the following while looking into something else, I can for sure say it's not the T-15.

I haven't had the time to take a hard look, but I believe it is a derivative of the T-80 tank. And it is new.

USMC has reached a major milestone concerning the ACV.

The ACV last month conducted its first open-water amphibious movement at Kushi Crossing, Okinawa.

I feel with this accomplished that the FOC possibly occur ahead of the planned USMC FOC for some time in 2028.

I can see the potential for the ACV to reach FOC in the Summer/Fall of 2027 this is how important I feel this milestone is.

Needless to say, there will be more of these open-water amphibious operations to come in getting to the final "over the horizon" open-water amphibious operations which is what the current AAV has done since the 1970's.

EDIT: Just found this and it is related to the above, also this shows progress towards FOC.
