New Chinese light tank ZTQ

The blog War is Boring has a feature article about a new Chinese light tank that is being called the ZTQ.  Images of this tank first appeared in 2011, although often with the tank’s turret obscured by camouflage netting.  Earlier this year the website China Defense Blog posted some of the first pictures of the vehicle without any netting on them.  Based on the photos, the vehicle appears to be equipped with a 105mm gun.  Many of the pictures that have appeared so far are of vehicles on train cars, apparently heading for China’s mountainous Tibet region.  For the “War is Boring” article, click here.  For the pictures on the China Defense Blog, click here.
