Type 63 - Bilder og videoer

Den Norinco Type 63 (kinesisk: 63式; pinyin: Liùsān shì) er en kinesisk amfibisk lett stridsvogn. Den ble først satt opp i 1963, og ligner på mange måter på den tidligere sovjetiske PT-76. Imidlertid, i motsetning til hva mange tror, har den noen vesentlige forskjeller fra PT-76 i kjøretøyets vannstrålefremdriftssystem, etc. Det er også kjent under sin industrielle betegnelse, WZ-211. Type 63 erstattes av Type 63A.

Den Type 63 tank is a Chinese amphibious light tank that was first fielded in 1963. It was based on the Soviet PT-76 design, but had some differences such as the waterjet propulsion system and the engine. The Type 63 tank was armed with an 85 mm Type 62-85TC rifled gun and had a four-man crew. It was used by several countries in Asia and Africa, and saw combat in various wars such as the Sino-Vietnamese War, the Iran-Iraq War and the Sri Lankan Civil War. The Type 63 tank was later upgraded to the Type 63A, which had a larger 105 mm rifled gun, a more powerful engine, a better fire-control system and an anti-tank guided missile capability.
