The tank is equipped with 125 mm smoothbore gun and 22 autoloaders and is also equipped with a cannon-fired missile with a maximum range of 5 km. Turret installed a 12.7 mm caliber remote machine guns. The power plant consists of a 1,300-horsepower diesel engine with a total weight of 52 tons and 6 large-diameter wheels with a maximum speed of 70 km / h and a journey of 500 km.
中国VT-4型主战坦克（MBT）原名MBT-3000，是VT-1型/MBT-2000经过重大升级后的最新型号。VT-4型坦克是中国新开发的外贸坦克。该坦克配备了125毫米滑膛炮和备弹22发自动装弹器，还配备了最大射程为5公里的炮射导弹。炮塔安装了12.7毫米口径的高射机枪。动力由1,300马力柴油发动机构成，总重52吨和6个大直径车轮，最大时速为70公里/小时，行程为500公里。
 
The Chinese defense firm NORINCO unveiled a new advanced Gen 3 MBT, the MBT-3000, in late 2014. The tank,which is a development of the Type 99 MBT in PLA service, is said to have brought to the standard of advanced western gen 3 tank such as the Lepoard 2, Challenger 2 and LeClerc Main Battle Tanks. The MBT-3000 is armed with a 125mm smoothbore cannon that can fire various shells and is able to fire tube-launched ATGMs.
中国国防公司中国北方工业公司（NORINCO）在2014年底推出了新型的先进第三代主战坦克MBT-3000。该坦克是在中国人民解放军（PLA）服役中使用的99型主战坦克的发展成果，据说已经达到了先进的西方三代坦克标准，例如德国豹（Lepoard） 2，英国挑战者（Challenger） 2和法国勒克莱尔（LeClerc）主战坦克。MBT-3000配备125毫米口径火炮，可以发射各种炮弹，并且可以发射炮管发射的反坦克导弹（ATGM）。
 
It is protected by a new ceramic armor set in modular 'bricks' to enhance flexibility. A new digital FCS computer, first seen on the Type-59G upgrade, is used in conjunction with an all-weather thermographic sighting system and the tank is fitted with a 1300hp turbodiesel engine. The MBT-3000 is produced for the export market and some Middle eastern and African countries have shown an interest, although no confirmed orders were initially received by NORINCO.
它由设置在模块式“积木”新型陶瓷装甲保护，以增强灵活性。 一台新型的数字FCS计算机（首次出现在59G式升级中）与全天候热成像瞄准系统结合使用，并且该坦克装有1300马力涡轮柴油发动机。MBT-3000是为出口市场生产的，一些中东和非洲国家对此表现出了兴趣，尽管中国北方工业公司最初没有收到确认的订单。
 
China is Russia's main competitor in developing countries seeking to buy tanks, and the tight market is becoming even more competitive for tank exporters. A report in 2014 by the Center for Analysis of World Arms Trade in Moscow indicated that the global demand for new tanks will sharply decline from 2014 to 2017 compared with the previous four-year period, which is expected to further fuel the already fierce competition.
中国是俄罗斯寻求购买坦克的发展中国家的主要竞争者，而紧张的市场对坦克出口国的竞争日益激烈。莫斯科世界武器贸易分析中心（Center for Analysis for World Arms Trade）2014年的一份报告指出，与四年前相比，2014年至2017年全球对新坦克的需求将急剧下降，预计这将进一步加剧已经激烈的竞争。
 
China exported a total of 461 tanks from 1992 to 2013, according to the United Nations' Register of Conventional Arms, which began to record conventional weapons transfers between UN member states in 1992. Pakistan bought 296 Chinese tanks during the two decades. Russia sold 1,297 tanks during the same period, with Algeria being the largest buyer. The biggest tank exporter during the period was the United States, which reported sales of 5,511 tanks. It was followed by Germany, which sold 2,680 tanks.
根据联合国常规武器登记册的数据，中国从1992年至2013年共出口了461辆坦克，该记录于1992年开始记录联合国各成员国之间的常规武器转让。巴基斯坦在这20年中购买了296辆中国坦克。俄罗斯同期销售了1,297辆坦克，其中阿尔及利亚是最大的买家。在此期间，最大的坦克出口国是美国，该国报告出售了5,511辆坦克。其次是德国，该国售出2680辆坦克。
 
Production lines of tanks have been closed in Western countries for a long time, so among large tank makers, only China and Russia have such facilities, which means if an international client wants to buy a new tank, it can only choose between China and Russia," said Norinco, the sole tank maker in China. Currently, Russia has only one new tank that is available for export - the T-90S. In contrast, we have the low-end VT-2, middle-end VT-1 as well as the high-end VT-4, covering the requirements of almost every client in the international market.
中国唯一的战车制造商中国北方工业公司（Norinco）说，西方国家的坦克生产线已经关闭很长时间了，因此在大型坦克制造商中，只有中国和俄罗斯拥有这样的设施，这意味着如果国际客户要购买新的坦克，则只能在中国和俄罗斯之间进行选择 。目前，俄罗斯只有一种新的战车可供出口-T-90S型。相比之下，我们拥有低端VT-2型，中端VT-1型以及高端VT-4型，涵盖了国际市场上几乎所有客户的需求。
 
Among the exhibits Norinco displayed at the 10th China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition in November 2014, the VT-4 main battle tank, was arguably the biggest star. Formerly designated as MBT-3000, the tank features superb mobility and strong firepower as well as a cutting-edge data exchange network, Liu Song, deputy general manager of research and development at China North Industries Corp, said.
在2014年11月的第十届中国国际航空航天展览会上，北方工业公司展出的展品中，VT-4主战坦克无疑是最大的明星。中国北方工业公司研发副总经理刘松（Liu Song）说，该坦克原名MBT-3000，具有出色的机动性，强大的火力以及尖端数据交换网络。

 
According to Western military publications, the VT-4 is equipped with an electronic-controlled diesel engine with 1,200 horsepower, giving the tank a cruise speed of 68 kilo-meters per hour. Its main gun is a 125-mm smoothbore that can fire various shells, including a kinetic energy penetrator and high explosive anti-tank warhead. In addition, it can also fire anti-tank missiles with a maximum range of 5,000meters. "It has an advanced fire-control system, a new-type active protection system and a state-of-the-art fully automatic transmission device," "Liu said. "In addition, the inter-unit network connects commanders of tanks and armored vehicles under a combat group, enabling them to share battlefield data in real time."
根据西方军事出版物，VT-4配备了具有1200马力的电控柴油发动机，使该坦克的行进速度为每小时68公里。它的主炮是125毫米滑膛炮，可以发射各种炮弹，包括动能穿甲和高爆反坦克弹头。此外，它还可以发射最大射程为5000米的反坦克导弹。刘说：“它拥有先进的火控系统，新型主动保护系统和先进的全自动变速装置。此外，部队间网络还将战斗群下坦克和装甲车的指挥官连接起来，使他们能够实时共享战场数据。”
 
In an effort to increase sales of its tanks in the face of declining global demand, in June 2015 China North Industries Group Corp, the country's biggest developer and maker of land armaments, turned to a popular smartphone social networking app. WeChat is often used by Chinese arms producers to release comparisons between their weapons and other nations' products - contents that they would not put on their websites in consideration of diplomatic issues. So, like many other State-owned defense technology enterprises, Norinco, as the tank maker is known, promoted its products to WeChat's more than 500 million users.
为了在面对全球需求下降的情况下增加坦克的销量，2015年6月，中国最大的陆地武器开发商和制造商中国北方工业集团公司转向了流行的智能手机社交网络应用程序。中国武器生产商经常使用微信发布其武器与其他国家产品之间的比较-考虑到外交问题，他们不会在其网站上发布这些内容。因此，就像其他许多国有国防科技企业一样，众所周知的中国北方工业总公司（Norinco）向微信的5亿用户推广了其产品。
 
The T-90S, a third-generation Russian main battle tank, is just able to compete with the VT-1, while its upgraded version, the T-90AM, has no substantial improvements, according to Norinco. The VT-4's wide recognition on the international tank market is forcing Russia to put its cutting-edge T-14 on the market to change the situation, the NORINCO said. "The T-14's transmission is not well-developed, as we saw through a malfunction taking place during a rehearsal before the May 9 parade. By comparison, the VT-4 has never encountered such problems so far," Norinco said in the WeChat article. "Our tanks also have world-class fire-control systems, which the Russians are still trying to catch up with."
北方工业公司说，第三代俄罗斯主战坦克T-90S只能与VT-1竞争，而其升级版T-90AM没有实质性的改进。VT-4在国际坦克市场上的广泛认可正迫使俄罗斯将其尖端的T-14投放市场以改变局势。北方工业公司在微信中说：“ T-14的变速箱不完善，正如我们在5月9日阅兵前彩排期间看到的故障。相比之下，VT-4迄今为止从未遇到过此类问题。” ， “我们的坦克还拥有世界一流的火控系统，俄罗斯人仍在努力追赶。”
 
It continued: "Another important issue is the price - the T-14 is reported to have a price as high as that of the United States' M1A2 Abrams. ... Why don't buyers consider Chinese tanks that have well-developed technologies and equipment as well as much-lower prices?"
他继续说：“另一个重要问题是价格-据报道，T-14的价格与美国的M1A2艾布拉姆斯坦克一样高。...为什么购买者不考虑具有先进技术的中国战车和装备以及更低的价格？”
 
To further influence potential buyers, Liu Song, a senior manager of research and development at Norinco, touted other VT-4 features: strong firepower as well as a cutting-edge data exchange network. "It has an advanced fire-control instrument, a new-type active protection system and a state-of-the-art, fully automatic transmission device," he said. "In addition, the inter-unit network connects commanders of tanks and armored vehicles under a combat group, enabling them to share battlefield data in a real-time manner."
为了进一步影响潜在的买家，中国北方工业总公司研发高级经理Liu Song（刘松）夸赞了VT-4的其他功能：强大的火力以及先进的数据交换网络。他说：“它具有先进的火控设备，新型主动保护系统和先进的全自动变速箱。”， “此外，部队间网络将战斗群下的坦克和装甲车的指挥官连接起来，使他们能够实时共享战场数据。”
 
According to Feng Yibai, chief designer of the VT-4, the tank is equipped with an electronic-controlled diesel engine with 1,200 horsepower, giving the tank a cruise speed of 68 km per hour. Its main gun is a 125-mm smoothbore that can fire various shells, including kinetic energy penetrators and high-explosive anti-tank warheads. It can fire anti-tank missiles with a maximum range of 5,000 meters.
VT-4的首席设计师Feng Yibai（冯一白）表示，该坦克配备了1200马力的电控柴油发动机，行进速度为每小时68公里。它的主炮是125毫米的滑膛炮，可以发射各种炮弹，包括动能穿甲和高爆反坦克弹头。它可以发射最大射程为5000米的反坦克导弹。
 
Even with heavy protective armor and strong firepower, the tank is much lighter in weight - 52 metric tons to 60 tons for its foreign rivals - making the VT-4 much faster, Feng said. The VT-4 can compete with any first-class tank used by Western militaries, including the US M1A2 Abrams and Germany's Leopard 2A6, Liu said.
冯说，即使具有重型防护装甲和强大的火力，该坦克的重量也要轻得多-外国竞争对手是52吨至60吨-这使得VT-4快得多。刘说，VT-4可以与西方军队使用的任何一流坦克竞争，包括美国的M1A2艾布拉姆斯和德国的豹-2A6。
 
During a promotional event in August 2014 in the Inner Mongolia autonomous region, diplomats, military officials and defense contractors from 44 countries were shown a field performance by the VT-4 tanks and some other combat vehicles made by Norinco. "Several countries have expressed interest in the VT-4 after their officials saw the tank's display, and we are negotiating with them on this matter," Liu said, without providing more details.
在2014年8月内蒙古的一次促销活动中，来自44个国家的外交官，军事官员和国防承包商观看了中国北方工业总公司制造的VT-4坦克和其他战斗车辆进行的现场表演。刘说：“几个国家的官员在看到坦克的展示后，对VT-4表示了兴趣，我们正在就此事与他们进行谈判。”，但没有提供更多细节。
 
Thai officials confirmed in May 2016 that the Royal Thai Army had officially signed an agreement to purchase China North Industries Group's VT-4 main battle tank, the tank would begin delivery by the end of 2016, and gradually delivered within 1-2 years. If the deal is realized, then Thailand will be the first overseas user of VT-4 main battle tank in China.
泰国官员于2016年5月证实，泰国皇家陆军已正式签署协议购买中国北方工业集团的VT-4主战坦克，该坦克将于2016年底开始交付，并在1-2年内逐步交付。如果达成交易，泰国将成为中国VT-4主战坦克的第一个海外用户。
 
The current details including the number and price of tanks to be purchased had not yet been disclosed, but the British "Janes Defense Weekly" quoted a Thai military official as saying that the contract included an initial order quantity of 28 vehicles and an amount of 150 million US dollar, the future may add 150 additional tanks to meet the needs of the Thai Army.
目前的细节，包括要购买的坦克的数量和价格，尚未透露，但英国《 简氏防卫周刊（Janes Defence Weekly）》援引泰国军方的话说，该合同包括28辆的初始订购量和1.5亿美元的金额，未来可能会增加150辆坦克，以满足泰国陆军的需要。
 
Thailand's Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Defense Bayh Wei also said that Thailand plans to purchase as many as 100 new tanks. The commander-in-chief of the Thai Army was very satisfied with the performance of China's VT4 tanks. He said he is confident of the high quality and strong performance of Chinese tanks and eventually decided to purchase the Chinese VT4 tanks.
泰国副总理兼国防部长巴威还表示，泰国计划购买多达100辆新坦克。 泰国陆军总司令对中国的VT4坦克的性能非常满意。他说，他对中国战车的高质量和强劲性能充满信心，并最终决定购买中国VT4战车。
