Battle tank for export
In 2016, China displayed a new light-duty main battle tank at Zhuhai Air Show amid a muscle-flexing disclosure of ground weapons, in a bid to attract buyers who wish to quickly outfit their armies.
Among the weapons was VT-5 light-duty tank. It is believed to be the most advanced of its kind available in the international market, with its firepower and mobility matching that of Western models.
