Summary

[edit]
Description

Cold war era Chinese Main Battle Tank The Type 69 Main Battle Tank was developed in China from the Soviet T-54/T-55, using some components copied from a captured Soviet T-62. Over 3,000 were built with many being exported, including to both Iran and Iraq, while additional license-built production took place in Pakistan. Although labelled as a T-55 this is actually a Chinese built Type 69-II which was captured from the Iraqi Army during the 1991 Gulf War. It arrived at the museum in November 2010 and was soon running again. Armourgeddon Military Museum Husbands Bosworth, Leicestershire, UK
