Type 83 is expected to exceed Type 82's size and capability

The brief comparison expects Type 83 to exceed Type 82 in displacement, firepower, and technical capability because the designs belong to different generations.

Question

How should Type 83 compare with Type 82 in tonnage, firepower, and technology?

Short answer

It should be bigger, more powerful, and much more advanced because it belongs to a later technological and operational generation.

Notes

Type 83 is expected to be larger, more powerful, and substantially more advanced than Type 82. The comparison spans several decades, with the age gap estimated loosely at forty or perhaps fifty years. It expresses an expectation about generational change, without giving a settled Type 83 displacement or weapons fit.
