NEW CHINESE TANK CAN BLOCK ANTI-TANK ROUNDS

[Zarvan]

China's ZTQ Light Tank

A new Chinese light tank which was put to trials in Tibet last week is reported to feature the FY series armour which can block anti-tank shells of varying piercing power.

The tank probably has a higher than normal amount of protective explosive reactive armor, forming a pointed nose, various Chinese and international media reported.

The tank's armour is likely of the FY series, an armour variant developed by the China North Industries Group Corporation (NORINCO).

FY armor provides protection depending on the amount of material applied to the vehicle. A single layer offers protection from single high-explosive antitank rounds, but as more material is applied, FY can stop armor-piercing sabots and multiple antitank rounds.

The tank features a square center portion, shorter and narrower than the Chinese Type 96 battle tank, and includes an elevated portion at the back containing the power element.
"Recently a new type of tank has undertaken trials on the Tibetan Plateau. The Chinese MoD said at a June 29 Beijing news conference.

The Chinese website Guancha.cn earlier published images that appear to be a new light battle tank traveling over a roadway in Tibet. The photos have led to speculation that Beijing had a new light battle tank in the works.

The vehicle is believed to be a variant of a newly developed light tank that was earlier identified in January.

Would've been interesting to know the capability of these armors. Explosive armors have been deployed on number of tank platforms across the world and these offer varying degree of protection, but there is no single universal solution.

300mm RHA @ 2km when they can easily fire from 4-5 km away and will most probably have something around 700-1000mm RHA
