Bangladesh's ground forces are likely to receive the first batch of the latest Chinese-made VT-5 light tanks in the near future. A photo of these combat vehicles, produced by one of the enterprises of the industrial corporation NORINCO, appeared on the Network.

Attention is drawn to the multicolored camouflage characteristic of the armored vehicles of the South Asian state.

Preliminary information about the deal appeared back in 2019, it was noted that an agreement had been reached on the acquisition of 44 units of such equipment, which was supposed to replace four dozen light Type 62 manufactured in China. Developed almost 60 years ago? they are considered obsolete, and now they are being massively removed from service, including in the PLA itself.

The VT-5 is an export version of the Type 15. Compared to the "sixty-second", they have a multi-layered booking of the tower and the front part of the hull.

Powerful on-board screens were installed on the exhibits demonstrated during the international Airshow China salons in Zhuhai, however, on these samples that got into the camera lenses, the protection of side projections was made in a budget version.

A 105-mm cannon with an automated loading system was used as an armament. As a result, the crew was reduced to 3 people. The gun is capable of firing ammunition for various purposes, including guided.

To combat manpower, there is a paired 7.62 mm machine gun. Remote-controlled combat modules, including those with automatic grenade launchers, can be installed on the tower, but the Bangladesh Army has chosen conventional 12.7 mm machine guns.

The tank has an advanced fire control system with thermal imagers. The engine power is 1000 hp. The maximum speed on the highway is 70 km/h.
