Vehicle description
Wargaming Tankopedia
Development began in the late 1950s under the concept of creating "frontier-covering tanks." The distinctive feature was the combined hull: Its frontal armor was cast with large upper glacis slopes, while the rest of the hull was welded. One of the design versions was to mount a large cast turret, in the development of which the Chinese engineers were obviously inspired by the experience of their Polish colleagues.
