VT-4A1 Chinese MBT Gameplay | War Thunder

Vehicle History ▼ What would eventually become the VT-4 was developed by NORINCO in an effort to produce a more cost-effective Chinese MBT design intended for the export market. Simultaneously this would incorporate much of the latest technologies built into the standard PLA combat vehicles of the time. Formal work on the project began in 2009, with the tank being revealed to the public for the first time in 2012. From a design perspective, the VT-4 inherited many features from the ZTZ99A, ranging from its autoloading system and going up to the ERA protection used for the design. Since its introduction, NORINCO also developed an improved variant, the VT-4A1, which most notably features a new turret fitted with a hardkill active protection system. Thailand was the first country to procure a large number of VT-4s in 2016 with Pakistan and Nigeria following suit in the years after. In total, around 350 VT-4s have currently been produced. 🔹Thanks for watching! :) 🔹
