The ZBD-04, also known as the ZBD-97, is a fully tracked infantry fighting vehicle (IFV) developed for the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA). ZBD-04 was introduced into the PLA ground forces in 2006.

ZBD-04，也称为ZBD-97，是为中国人民解放军开发的全履带步兵战车。ZBD-04于2006年被引入中国人民解放军地面部队。

 

The vehicle can operate as an independent vehicle as well as with other tanks, such as the Type 96 and Type 99 main battle tanks. It provides protected transport for an infantry squad, fire support for deployed infantry, and can mount attacks on enemy tanks and armoured vehicles. It also demonstrates significant amphibious capabilities.

该车可以作为独立车辆运行，也可以与其他坦克一起运行，如96型和99型主战坦克。它为步兵班提供受保护的运输，为部署的步兵提供火力支援，并可以攻击敌方坦克和装甲车。它还展示了重要的两栖能力。

 

ZBD-04 is deployed by the armoured units mobilised in the Guangzhou and Nanjing military regions. An armoured recovery vehicle (ARV) variant, which is fitted with a crane on top of the hull, is also manufactured. A further improved variant is called the ZBD-04A.

ZBD-04由广州和南京军区的装甲部队部署。还制造了一种装甲回收车（ARV）改型，该改型在车体顶部安装了一台起重机。进一步改进的改型被称为ZBD-04A。

 

ZBD-04 fighting vehicle design

ZBD-04战车设计

 

The ZBD-04 features a two-man turret mounted on the middle of an indigenously developed hull. The turret is similar to that of the Russian-made BMP-3 IFV. The design incorporates a conventional layout with a welded steel hull.

ZBD-04的特点是一个双人炮塔安装在一个自主开发的车体中间。炮塔类似于俄罗斯制造的BMP-3 IFV。该设计采用了焊接钢制车体的传统布局。

 

The vehicle can accommodate a crew of three (commander, driver and gunner) and up to seven troops. The power compartment is located on the forward-right side of the vehicle. The troop compartment is located in the rear of the vehicle.

该车可容纳三名乘员（指挥官、驾驶员和炮手）和最多七名士兵。动力室位于车辆的右前侧。部队舱室位于车辆后部。

 

The troop body section has two large hatches on the roof and a single exit door in the rear. Three observation points, two on either side of the hull and one in the exit door, are provided for firing. The firing ports allow the troops to fire assault rifles and light machine guns from inside the vehicle on the move.

部队舱室主体部分在车顶上有两个大舱口，在后部有一个单独的出口门。提供了三个观察点，两个在车体两侧，一个在出口门，用于射击。射击口允许部队在行进中从车内突击步枪和轻机枪射击。

 

The vehicle is equipped with two large water jet ports on the rear of the vehicle for high-speed water travel. The water jets allow the vehicle to swim from an amphibious warfare ship to shore. A hydraulically operated wave fence on forward prevents the front part of the vehicle from overflowing during water travel.

该车后部配备了两个大型喷水口，用于高速水上行驶。喷水器使运载工具能够从两栖战舰行进到岸边。前方的液压操作防浪板可防止车辆前部在水上行驶时涌水。

 

Armaments

装备

 

The main armament fitted on the turret is a semi-automatic 100mm gun/missile launcher. The dual-way stabilised weapon system can fire both HE-FRAG rounds and the 3UBK10 anti-tank guided missiles (ATGM). The HE-FRAG round can be fired at a rate of ten rounds a minute for an effective range of 4,000m.

安装在炮塔上的主要武器是一个半自动100毫米火炮/导弹发射器。双向稳定武器系统可以发射高爆破片弹(HE-FRAG)弹药和3UBK10反坦克导弹（ATGM）。HE-FRAG可以以每分钟10发的速度发射，有效射程为4000米。

 

The 3UBK10 ATGM can be fired against armoured military vehicles, fortifications and low-flying helicopters. It has a maximum range of 4,000m. Around eight missiles are housed inside the turret.

3UBK10型反坦克导弹可以向装甲军用车辆、防御工事和低空飞行的直升机开火。它的最大射程为4000米。炮塔内装有大约八枚导弹。

 

A 30mm coaxial automatic cannon serves as a secondary weapon. It can fire armour-piercing (AP) and HE-FRAG rounds at a rate of 300 rounds a minute for a range of up to 2,000m. A 7.62mm coaxial machine gun is also fitted on the vehicle.

一门30毫米同轴自动加农炮作为次要武器。它可以以每分钟300发的速度发射穿甲弹（AP）和高爆破片弹(HE-FRAG)弹药，射程可达2000米。车上还安装了一挺7.62毫米同轴机枪。

 

NBC protection system

NBC保护系统

 

The ZBD-04 is fitted with a collective nuclear biological and chemical (NBC) protection system, with its air filter placed at the rear end of the turret to the right. The welded steel armour protects against small arms and shell splinters.

ZBD-04配备了一个集体核生化（NBC）保护系统，其空气过滤器位于炮塔后端右侧。焊接钢制装甲可防止小型武器和炮弹碎片。

 

The vehicle misses the ARENA-E active protection system fitted on the modern version of the BMP-3, but is believed to be fitted with its own laser warning and countermeasures system. The ZBD-04 also features a three-barrel smoke grenade launcher.

该车没有安装在现代版BMP-3上的“竞技场”-E主动防护系统，但据信安装了自己的激光警告和对抗系统。ZBD-04还配备了一个三管烟雾榴弹发射器。
