History of Chinese Export Tanks

The main arms dealers of the Cold War, the Warsaw Pact and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, primarily designed armored vehicles to meet their own needs. Later, with the increasing demand from foreign customers and the ever-changing development of international science and technology, Chinese engineers had to rethink their approach to developing combat vehicles, leading to the emergence of a unique Chinese school of tank design. Eventually, many technologies developed for foreign customers found their way into vehicles equipped by the People’s Liberation Army as well.

Mobile Sniper: Boxer MGS

The Boxer MGS is one of the latest iterations of the Boxer IFV, originally developed under a German-Dutch joint venture, featuring a larger Belgian turret fitted with a powerful 105 mm main gun.
