The ZTQ15 light tank is a light tank developed by the People's Republic of China, weighing 33 to 36 tons.
The service conditions for 50-ton class main battle tanks are limited in China.
The Type 62 tank was used in the water town areas of southern China and the plateaus and mountainous regions of Tibet. Since the Type 52 was first introduced in 1959, the ZTQ15 light tank was developed to replace the outdated vehicle.
Its main role is to support infantry and reconnaissance.
It is armed with a 105 mm gun.
This gun is a further development of the 105 mm Type 81 gun for Type 59-II tanks, which is a licensed production of the 105 mm L7 tank gun from Royal Ordnance.
It is also equipped with an unmanned gun mount (RWS) as a secondary weapon, including a 12.7 mm machine gun, an automatic grenade launcher and a 7.62 mm coaxial machine gun.
The frontal armor of the turret is intended to have the same defensive power as the third generation main battle tank.
It has three crew members - a commander, a gunner and a driver - and is equipped with an NBC defense system, air conditioning and oxygen cylinders for high altitude activities.
It is equipped with a 1000 hp diesel engine at the rear, can reach a top speed of 70 km/h and is equipped with a twin turbo to facilitate operation in thin air environments.
