  Chinese Army receives new type of fighting vehicles

NEWSARMY By Dylan Malyasov

Nov 2, 2023


Chinese People’s Liberation Army Ground Forces reportedly have received a new type of wheeled infantry fighting vehicle.


Recently, a series of photos showcasing the new 8×8 wheeled armored vehicle, an improved version of the ZBL-08 vehicle, surfaced on Chinese social media.


Some analysts have identified it as the “Type 19 Infantry Fighting Vehicle” fitted with a 30mm unmanned turret. In addition to the turret, the vehicle comes equipped with anti-tank guided missiles (ATGM) and a 5.8mm coaxial machine gun.

The introduction of this advanced infantry fighting vehicle represents China’s commitment to modernizing its ground forces and enhancing its capabilities for future combat scenarios.




The newly spotted infantry fighting vehicle has generated significant interest and curiosity among military observers and enthusiasts alike. With its state-of-the-art design, the IFV features an unmanned turret, an element that distinguishes it from many other armored vehicles.

In a x post, David Wang said that one unique aspect of the Type 19 is the positioning of the gunner sight, which is reported to have an unusual layout. Approximately 80% of the gunner sight is concealed beneath the main gun shield, marking an unconventional configuration in the People’s Liberation Army Ground Forces’ (PLAGF) armored fleets.

J-20A Mighty Dragon production progress


Also in 2023, the Chengdu Aerospace Corporation (CAC) J-20 production line at Chengdu-Huangtianba has been very active.

Scramble Magazine received confirmation that the 4th Air Brigade that used to fly the Shenyang J-11 aircraft from Foshan air base as well as the 97th Air Brigade flying the Chengdu J-7E from Dazu air base have both converted to the CAC J-20A, with serials 61252 and 70282 noted so far.

With the 200th aircraft built noted early this year, total production should be getting close to 250. As a result at least nine People’s Liberation Army - Air Force (PLAAF) Brigades are flying the stealth CAC J-20A, with unconfirmed rumours about another five Brigades that also would have started flying the J-20A this year.

The other side, of course, is that the number of active J-7 units (China's development of the MiG-21) has fallen sharply this year with only about five brigades active.

Beaucoup de fusils en calibre .50 en Chine ces derniers temps. Certains sont très basiques, voire vieillots, mais d'autres ont l'air de se rapprocher de ce que font les Occidentaux.
