ZTZ-35

The ZTZ-35 (35式), also known as the Type-35, is a fourth-generation main battle tank developed and used by Zhonghua. It is a cheap and well-armoured vehicle capable of being fielded in large numbers, and is armed with a 125 mm Type-93 smoothbore gun and two machine guns. It has a crew of 3.

Based on the 1960s-era ZTQ-62 instead of the more modern ZTZ-21, the ZTZ-35 is sometimes believed to be a step backwards from the ZTZ-21. However, the ZTZ-35 is actually an acceptably advanced vehicle capable of countering modern conventional armoured developments.

Variants
The ZTZ-35 has been developed into two variants, the ZTZ-35-1 and the ZTZ-35-2. Both variants are generally identical, though the ZTZ-35-2 is an export variant without the electronics package and countermeasures, sold along with upgrade kits for urban combat.
