At the 13th International Aviation and Space Salon Airshow China-2022, a sample of the VN-20 heavy infantry fighting vehicle was presented for the first time. Specialists and guests of the salon can now get acquainted in more detail with the features of its design.

According to " RG: Russian weapons ", a modification with a manned tower with a weapons complex similar to that used on the 24-ton ZBD-04 (which, in turn, is a "relative" of the Russian BMP-3) was already created earlier.

However, the combat habitable module itself with 100 mm and 30 mm guns has enhanced protection, more advanced multi-channel sights, as well as a new generation missile system capable of accurately destroying enemy heavy armored vehicles at long distances.

A remote-controlled machine gun is mounted on the roof. Two more heavy machine guns cover the stern. They are no longer on the exhibit in Zhuhai.

It was said that the original version was created to interest the rich Arab states, primarily the UAE. There, at one time, with the help of the Belgians, they tried to create a heavy armored vehicle for the delivery of infantry. The basis was the Italian main battle tank OF-40, a turret from the BMP-3 was also installed on it.
