The Type 69 (manufacturer designation WZ121) was an improved version of the Type 59 (Chinese copy of the T-54A). The PRC’s first independently developed main battle tank (MBT), the Type 69 is generally identical to the Type 59/T-54A in appearance, but added with indigenous dual-way stabilisation and night vision. Later versions of the Type 69 was also incorporated with Western technologies including British 105mm rifled gun and computerised fire-control. As well as serving with the PLA, the Type 69 was exported to countries in Asia, Africa and Middle East in significant numbers.
