Historical background of the ZBD-90 vehicle

The ZBD-90 is a Chinese infantry fighting vehicle developed in the late 1990s by Norinco. This platform is used by the People’s Liberation Army of China as a modern transport system intended for rapid movement of infantry units and providing them with direct fire support. The model was developed as an evolution of earlier designs from the YW-531 family, but features much more advanced technological solutions, including a powerful 30mm automatic cannon, HJ-73C anti-tank guided missile launchers, and the capability to carry 7–8 dismounted troops. The ZBD-90 has been used by Chinese forces since the start of the 21st century and remains in service today, primarily within rapid reaction units.
