The China MBT VT - 4
The main tank VT4 (China)
Yesterday, 9:05
August 22 the Chinese company NORINCO held an exhibition in which were demonstrated its latest developments in the field of armored vehicles. At the site of the exhibition were shown three dozen different machines. Guests of the event were able to once again see the familiar patterns, as well as to see how they overcome the obstacles in the tank ranges. The exhibition brought together representatives of 44 foreign countries that were able to get acquainted with the Chinese armor.
The most interesting model shown in a recent exhibition, is the main tank VT4. This combat vehicle designed specifically for delivery to other countries, and extends the range of Chinese tanks, originally designed for export sales. In fact, the project VT4 is a slightly modified tank MBT 3000, the first details of which appeared a few years ago. Since then, the Chinese tank builders made some adjustments in the project and offered to use a number of new equipment.
The project main tank VT4 was created on the basis of projects VT1A and "Type 99G». It uses the latest developments of Chinese industry in the development of tanks, however, seems to be taken into account in the design of the machine, that she will not serve in the Chinese army, and abroad. So, according to some sources, a number of parameters VT4 loses tank "Type 99G», being built for the Army of China. Nevertheless, and with such restrictions new combat vehicle should be of interest to potential customers.
The existence of the project MBT 3000, from which "increased" the current VT4, it became known in 2012. The following year, there were images of the new tank. Finally, a few weeks ago the tank VT4 showed foreign experts, including those from countries that are considered as potential customers of such equipment.
In terms of the appearance of the tank is a typical modern VT4 armored vehicle in its class. The outer surface of the hull and turret are several direct panels intersecting at different angles. The layout of the body - a classic, with a front-office management, fighting compartment and a tower in the middle part and the engine compartment at the rear. Tower has developed a niche feed.
Information on the level of protection of the tank VT4, as in the case with a number of recent Chinese tanks absent. Probably the upper front housing part is formed as a combined multi-layer barrier. Machines in photos shown on August 22 shows that the forehead is covered with an additional housing units reactive armor. Similarly looks frontal part of the tower, with the difference that the modules on its surface are considerably large. The rear of the sides of the tower and feed additionally protected latticed screens.
Earlier it was reported that the tank MBT 3000 will be powered by a diesel engine capacity of 1300 hp Type of power plant is unknown. Earlier, Chinese tank builders actively cooperated with foreign companies engaged in the production of engines. For example, tanks MBT 2000 (Al-Khalid) were equipped with engines of Ukrainian origin. Who supplies engines for VT4 - unknown. Some sources mention the cooperation with German industry.
The main tank VT4 has a combat weight of 52 tons. Used 1300 hp engine provides a maximum speed on the highway to 67 km / h. Fuel tank capacity is enough for a march of 500 miles. The specific power output of 25 hp ton allows tank VT4 have mobility at the level of the best modern designs of foreign production.
In the turret mounted VT4 125-mm smoothbore gun, which is the Chinese version of the Soviet / Russian guns 2A46. This enables the tank to use arms ammunition and several types for different purposes. In addition, the tank is equipped with a set of guided weapons, allowing use of a guided missile with a range of up to 5 km. The gun is associated with an autoloader, accelerating the process of preparing to fire. The use of such automation allows you to save a crew of three. The total ammunition tank - 38 shots. 22 shots are placed in the cells of the automatic loader, and the rest - laying the crew compartment.
Auxiliary tank weapons VT4 standard for Chinese armored vehicles in this class. The tower is set coaxial machine gun 7.62 mm, the tower has a 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine gun. An interesting feature shown in August tank that distinguishes it from previous machines MBT 3000 is a remotely controlled weapon station on the tower. This system allows the crew to effectively use machine gun, without leaving the tower. Armed conflicts recently repeatedly shown the need to equip tanks similar equipment. There are 12 smoke grenade.
It is alleged that the tank VT4 got a new fire control system (FCS), constructed in accordance with the concept of hunter-killer. It uses a modern digital equipment, combined with the sighting devices and other equipment. On the roof of the tower visible heads of the two scopes. According to some reports, the commander has a panoramic sight allows to watch over the situation and immediately found to direct weapons to target. Sights have day and night feeds, as well as equipped with laser range finders.
New Chinese main battle tank VT4 is intended solely for sales to foreign countries. Chinese tank builders are not the first time working on a new armored vehicles specifically for delivery to overseas customers, and VT4 continues this interesting trend. As a potential customer of the new tank are considered developing countries of South America and Africa. The commercial success of the tank VT4 can contribute to achievement of the previous export project - VT1A. Tanks of this type are used in the armies of Morocco, Myanmar, and Pakistan. In addition, VT1A will be delivered in Bangladesh. A few years ago, China has signed a contract to supply with Peru, but because of disagreements with the engine supplier (Ukraine) execution of this order was disrupted.
One of the main competitive advantages of Chinese export tanks is quite advantageous and cost performance ratio. Accurate information on the price of new cars models VT4 not yet available, but it is estimated it will not be too high for medium-sized and poor countries considered as potential buyers.
Materials for a new project VT4 were first published in 2012. Until now, information on contracts for the supply of this equipment did not appear. Nevertheless, advertising materials, shown at the recent exhibition of arms and military equipment, attracted the attention of potential customers. Reported that interest in the tank VT4 show some African States military, however, appears to further examination of models, this interest has not yet moved.
The recent demonstration of the tank VT4 / MBT 3000 in a landfill could affect the opinion of potential buyers, so that in the near future, you may receive a contract for the supply of armored vehicles to third countries. This armored vehicle may be interested in a sufficiently broad rump of potential customers, but its future prospects depend solely on the desires and capabilities of third countries.

Sekilas bentuk & modelnya spt MBT M1"Abrams" atau "Merkava".
Kapan PT PINDAD membuat tank serupa?
Menurut saya g perlu membuat sendiri MBT, lebih bijak beli saja yg sdh jadi, namun di aspek Harwat & Harkannya kita mendapatkan know how hingga level 4 dari sumbernya.
