China reveals armed vehicle [IDX15D4]

[Zarvan]

Being shown for the first time outside China is the Poly Technologies 07PD (8x8) vehicle fitted with a turret armed for anti-tank guided weapons (ATGWs). Displayed in the ready-to-launch configuration, these missiles are laser-guided and are fitted with a tandem warhead to defeat targets fitted with explosive reactive armour. They have a maximum range of 10km and a circular error of probability of less than 1m.

Mounted between the two pods of boxed ATGWs is the day/night sighting system.

The missile itself is designated the PA02-MA and, in addition to being launched from ground-based platforms, also has other launch applications.

The 07PD (8x8) chassis is also being used for a number of other variants, including an armoured personnel carrier, 120mm mortar-carrier and one for the mobile gun system role. The latter is fitted with a three-person turret armed with a 105mm rifled gun and a 7.62mm coaxial machine gun.

Poly Technologies (Stand 10-E25) is also marketing the PA01 automatic high-manoeuvrability tactical missile system. Based on a 6x6 APC type platform, this is very similar to the widely deployed China North Industries Corporation WZM551/ WZ551 vehicle.

Integrated onto the rear of the hull is a launcher cell for 12 missiles.

When travelling, this retracts into the hull, but when required for action, it is elevated into the vertical position prior to missile launch. The missile is the Poly Technologies PA01-GA intelligent tactical precision strike missile, which has a launch weight of about 100kg and a maximum range of 40km.

The PA01-GA is claimed to be capable of attacking stationary and moving high-value land and sea targets, and is fitted with a high-explosive penetrating warhead.

The missile is believed to use a mid-course guidance system that comprises an inertial navigation system and satellite link. For the terminal attack phase, the missile uses a nose-mounted electro-optical infrared seeker.

These two missile systems are being marketed individually or as part of a complete battlefield target acquisition and engagement capability from Poly Technologies.

This could be tailored to meet the end-user’s specific operational requirements, and also includes unmanned aerial vehicles, battlefield surveillance radars, command and control elements, and 120mm mortars firing laser-guided projectiles out to a maximum range of 8km.

Don't know whether the missile is AR-1. It looks heavy and the range is similar to AR-1 of 10km. It will give a massive advantage in stand off ATGM attack.

China's new VN12 armored infantry fighting vehicle has a similar design to Western armored vehicles as opposed to Russian models, according to the Kanwa Defense Review, a Chinese-language military magazine based in Canada.

Designed originally based on the Soviet-built BMP-3, the VN12 is the export version of China's ZBD-97 armored infantry fighting vehicle. The vehicle nonetheless looks very different from the ZBD-97, which was produced for domestic consumers. The original Russian-designed vehicle was not popular among foreign buyers, according to the report.

To attract more overseas consumers, Beijing-based China North Industries Corporation redeveloped the vehicle to fit a more Western look.

The VN12 was first displayed at the Eurosatory 2014 held in Paris last June. The vehicle features high mobility, strong firepower, modern armor and sophisticated information warfare equipment. It is designed to carry seven soldiers and can offer fire support to dismounted troops with a two-man turret. The turret is equipped with a 30mm automatic cannon.

In addition, the vehicle is equipped with a 7.62mm coaxial machine gun and two launchers for the Red Arrow 73D anti-tank guided missile on each side of the turret. China North Industries Corporation said that its weapons system can destroy moving or stationary targets such as tanks, armored vehicles, fortified structures and targets under all weather conditions when the platform is either stationary or moving. Six additional smoke grenade dischargers are mounted at the front on each side of the turret.

Equipped with a high-power engine, the VN12 provides superior mobility and and an integral-lifting powerpack for easy maintenance. It can be used to carry out amphibious assaults as well, according to the manufacturer.

China has a tradition of developing weapons platforms based on Soviet or Russian systems, but the VN12 indicates that it can also create weapons in the likes of Western models, according to the report.

This is a given, modular armor and more spacious IFVs is the norm nowadays. In the past IFV at least the Soviet ones were cramped, had no modular armor and had no real side armor.
