Norinco MBT-3000 is China's latest MBT export offering.


Christopher F Foss - Land Consultant - Paris


China North Industries Corporation's (Norinco's) MBT-3000 main battle tank (MBT) made its international debut at the Eurosatory defence exhibition in Paris in mid June.

The MBT-3000, which has similar road wheels but a slightly different hull to the Type 98/Type 99 MBT currently in People's Liberation Army service, is the latest model to join Norinco's streamlined MBT export line. As well as the MBT-3000, Norinco now offers the MBT-2000 - which has a combat weight of 48 tonnes -, and the VT2, which has a combat weight of 42 tonnes.

Although it is not yet in series production, officials described the MBT-3000 as the most advanced MBT offered by Norinco on the export market to date. Norinco claims it is fully digitised, air conditioned and fitted with an over-pressure NBC system and an inertial navigation/global positioning system.

The MBT-3000 is armed with a 125 mm smoothbore gun which is fed by an automatic loader that holds 22 rounds of ready-use ammunition (projectile and charges) plus 18 rounds in reserve. As well as firing conventional 125 mm armour-piercing, fin-stabilised discarding sabot (APFSDS), high explosive (HE) and high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT) projectiles, it can also fire a laser-guided projectile fitted with a tandem HEAT warhead to a range of 5,000 m. It also has a roof-mounted remote-controlled 12.7 mm machine gun (MG) operated by the commander and a 7.62 mm co-axial MG.

Gun control equipment is electric and the fire control system includes stabilised day/second-generation cooled thermal imager sights for the commander and gunner, including a laser rangefinder. The tank commander is provided with a roof-mounted stabilised panoramic sight that allows the commander to acquire a target before handing over to the gunner for engagement.

The MBT-3000 has elements of a defensive aids system including a turret-mounted laser detector coupled to 12 grenade launchers: eight launch smoke grenades and four launch fragmentation grenades for close-in protection.

The turret and hull are welded steel, while composites provide additional protection over the frontal arc. The rigid non-metallic side skirts can be fitted with explosive reactive armour (ERA), which can also be fitted to the front of the hull.

The MBT-3000 is powered by a Chinese-developed turbocharged, water-cooled diesel engine coupled to a Ch1000B integrated transmission that gives a maximum speed of up to 67 km/h. Cruising range is quoted as 500 km. The MBT-3000's combat weight of 52 tonnes gives it a power-to-weight ratio of 25 h/tonne: better than some European MBTs. Its three-man crew also makes it more compact than European MBTs.

Norinco is also marketing the VS21 armoured recovery and repair vehicle (ARRV) based on the MBT-2000. It was previously designated the Type 654 ARRV.


The MBT-3000 is the latest main battle tank to be offered by Norinco on the export market. (Norinco)

School of Infantry and Tactics

History

After independence from British rule, the Infantry School was established at Kakul in 1947. Colonel N J G Jones, MBE was appointed the first Commandant of the School on 12 January 1948. The School was moved to its present location at Quetta in 1948 and was assigned the responsibility of weapons training only. Tactical training was organized under the Command and Staff College Quetta.

The Institution continued to function as "INFANTRY SCHOOL" till the end of 1956. In January 1957, the School was reorganized and the tactical wing from the Command and Staff College was amalgamated in it. Consequently, the School was renamed as "THE SCHOOL OF INFANTRY AND TACTICS".

In 1981 a Research and Development Wing was added to the School. The wing is responsible for conducting trials on infantry weapon systems, reviews, tactical doctrines and updating all military publications. Since its inception this wing has made substantial contributions to the Army in general and the School in particular.

When Pakistan began participating more effectively in United Nation Missions, a need was felt to impart pre-departure training to the officers and men proceeding on such assignments. In order to meet this requirement, Peace Keeping Training Cell was added to the School in 1994. The cell is responsible for educating officers of Pakistan Army and friendly countries in duties related to employment under aegis of United Nations.

The School emblem was adopted in December 1953 which consisted of Roman Shield featuring a bayonet. This crest remained in vogue till 1956. In 1957 while undergoing major reorganization, the structure of the shield was changed from Roman to Muslim (Circular Shield). The Bayonet retained its central place with a blood red background.

Location

The School is located five kilometers north-east of Quetta, the capital city of Baluchistan Province. Quetta, once an isolated and out of the way military cantonment, is today a thriving capital of the province of Baluchistan. Located at a height of over 5000 feet above sea level, it is surrounded by barren mountains with several peaks towering to a height of over 10,000 feet. The Quetta Valley itself, although not profusely vegetated, is turning greener by the year. In the summers, fruit laden orchards present a very attractive sight. Although a small city, Quetta has over the years acquired the typical hustle and bustle of a provincial metropolis with a population of over 1.6 million. Both, the city and cantonment continue to modernize at an equally fast pace.

Quetta has a dry and healthy climate, with no factory smoke to pollute fresh and invigorating mountain air. Winters in Quetta are severe and last from mid-October to end March. The temperature during winters, falls to minus 15 degree Celsius necessitating the use of heavy quilts, blankets and heating arrangements. Springs in Quetta are normally pleasant and last from end March to end April. Summers are mild by Pakistani standards and normally stretch from May to August. The maximum temperature during the day seldom exceeds 41 degree Celsius during the hottest period. Evenings and nights are usually cool. Autumn comes in the months of September and October. Snow generally stretches from December to March.

Flying time to Quetta from Karachi is about one hour. There is one flight daily from Karachi to Quetta. By train, Bolan Mail takes 20 hours. Both modes of travel are comfortable. However, train booking is required to be made at least 72 hours in advance.

Training Philosophy

SI&T being the premier institution for training junior leadership of Pakistan Army, undeniably prides itself to be the custodian of infantry combat culture.

SI&T will continue to transform into a “combined arms training intuition” and will contribute to develop thinking leaders with clarity of mind, initiative and foresight. In this regard efforts will be focused on improving intellectual outlook of the students besides imparting hardcore professional training, thus infusing competence to undertake tactical missions under conventional as well sub conventional warfare. The Infantry School will provide a balance fusion of education and training to its alumnae for ambiguous, uncertain and complex threat in the resource constrained environment.
