  • Indo-Pacific
    INDO-PACIFIC China: Type-15 MBT Export Variant Shows Off Enhanced Protection and Mobility OE Watch Commentary: A Chinese TV program aired in August showed off the VT-5, a “lightweight” Main Battle Tank (MBT), an export variant of the Type 15. The program entitled “Lightweight Main Battle Tank VT-5 - Evolution of the King” [《轻量化主战坦 克VT-5 - 王着的进化》], followed presenter Wu Jie [吴杰] as he interviewed technicians working on the tank and showing off its capabilities. The program was filmed at Chinese arms producer Norinco’s Inner Mongolia First Machinery Group Corporation, also known as the Baotou Tank Factory. The area is also home to the Tank & Armored Vehicle Experimental Center [坦克装甲车辆实验中心], where all Chinese tanks conduct mobility and firing tests. For China, which has fought wars with India along the Tibetan plateau, and along its border with Vietnam, the 30-36 ton VT-5 could fill a capabilities gap for geographic areas where larger MBTs (which typically weigh upwards of 50 tons), would be unable to travel. As noted by one Norinco technician, heavier tanks all struggle in high plateaus, rice paddies, and riverbanks—terrain that covers much of China and particularly the southwest and eastern parts of the country. Throughout the program, technicians interviewed by Wu Jie “VT-5 Lightweight MBT” by Peter Wood emphasized the tank’s agility. As one technician noted, the VT-5 has a power-to-weight ratio of 18–19.6 (horsepower/tons), depending on the configuration. The tank’s driver’s position was designed to more closely resemble civilian cars has a steering wheel to make learning to drive it easier.
