What do they perfer? She is 30 or She is 40?
The Royal Thailand Army ordered another batch of 1,000-round 122mm
rockets from China, including the SHE-30 range 30 km and the SHE-40
range 40 km, feeding the equipped with the SR-4 modular 122mm rocket
launcher (export version of Type 11 MRL) also imported from China.
Although
the Thailand National Defense Technology Institute has brought the
required technology to home-made 122mm rockets and has performed
testing, the domestic version of the SHE family has yet to be mass
produced.
Norinco Export Of The Day: SM-4A Rapid-Fire 120mm Mortar System on VN-1 platform ( ZBD-09 8×8 amphibious APC chassis)
The shorter barrel of the new SM-4A, which is based on the W99 (82mm)
Chinese version of the Vasilek, is its main advantage over the earlier
SM-4, 120mm, as it enables it to be fitted into the majority of APC/IFV
that are now in service or offered for export. As this blog has
pointed out that Chinese land systems have recently experienced an
export success of late, mostly around to their 105mm 6×6 wheeled gun for
direct fire and supporting APC/IFV, the SM-4A will enhance the
in-direct fire support that many prospective export clients are seeking.

Still waiting for a final confirmation but there is a high degree of
certainty that Pakistan is new customer after Thailand and Nigeria

Transported
by trucks, two VT4 tanks left for their destination following a launch
ceremony, Weihutang, military affairs column affiliated with China
Central Television, reported on Friday, citing a video released by the
Inner Mongolia First Machinery Group under the state-owned China North
Industries Group (NORINCO).The tanks are not the standard VT4
version and instead are equipped with a different turret boost design.
The front design features a new explosive reactive armor, Weihutang
said.This upgraded VT4 offers enhancements with extra protection capabilities, the report said, citing military experts.
Further details on the deal have not been released, such as the purchase amount, overall value, and client name.
Also
known as the MBT3000, the VT4 is a new generation of made-for-export
combat tank designed for the international market, Weihutang said,
noting that it is one of the most popular Chinese weapons available and
has been sold to Thailand and Nigeria.The VT4 is equipped with a
125-millimeter smoothbore gun, can fire armor-piercing fin-stabilized
discarding-sabot (APFSDS), high explosive anti-tank cartridges, and
missiles with a 5-kilometer range.Equipped with a China-made
1,200-horsepower diesel-fueled engine and a hydromechanical drive
system, the VT4 can travel at a maximum speed of 70 kph and a maximum
cross-country speed of 50 kph.
VT4 MBT is now equipped with the heavy FY-4 ERA
The camo looks like it’s for the Thai Army, which had been talking about
wanting the heavier FY-4 ERA for their VT-4. The FY-4 ERA is what’s use
on the Chinese ZTZ-96 and ZTZ-99 series of MBT. In comparison, the VT-4
export MBT was originally equipped with the thinner FY-2 ERA.
