The PTL02 wheeled assault tank destroyer armed with a 105mm rifled gun was developed by NORINCO for the PLA new light (rapid reaction) mechanised infantry divisions. The vehicle has a three-man turret derived from the Type 88 MBT, and a 6X6 wheeled chassis based on the WZ551 APC. Chinese officials have confirmed that the vehicle is now in production.

PTL02轮式攻击坦克歼击车装备使用一门105毫米线膛炮，由中国北方工业总公司（NORINCO）发展用于解放军新的轻型（快速反应）机械化步兵师。歼击车有一个来自于88式主战坦克（MBT）的三人炮塔和基于WZ551式装甲人员输送车（APC）的6X6轮式底盘。中国官员已经确认目前车辆在生产中。

PROGRAMME

Among a variety of self-propelled artillery systems based on the wheeled chassis of the WZ551 APC family, the PTL02 assault tank destroyer is the first to have entered active service with the PLA. Currently the vehicle is deployed in the artillery regiment of newly formed light mechanised infantry divisions based around WZ551 wheeled armoured vehicles. At least three light mechanised infantry divisions equipped with both wheeled and tracked fighting vehicles have been reportedly formed, including the elite 127 th Division (under 54 th Group Army) in Jinan Military Region.

计划

在多种基于WZ551 APC系列轮式底盘的自行火炮系统中，PTL02攻击坦克歼击车是解放军现役中的第一种。现在车辆部署在新近建立基于WZ551轮式装甲车辆为主的轻机械化步兵师炮兵团中。据传闻至少已经组建三个轻机械化步兵师装备轮式和履带式战车，包括精锐济南（Jinan）军区第127师（隶属第54集团军）。

Compared to the conventional full-tracked fighting vehicles, the wheedled chassis of the PTL02 enables it to be deployed rapidly via motorway/road networks. With a combat weight of 19t, it can also be fitted into a medium-size transport aircraft. A Y-8 may carry two of such vehicles and an IL-76MD may carry three.

同传统的全履带式战车比较，PTL02的轮式底盘使它能够经由高速公路/道路网快速地部署。战斗重量19吨，它也能够在一架中型运输机内搭载。一架Y-8能携带两辆，一架IL-76 MD能携带三辆。

The 105mm main gun of the tank destroyer is capable of engaging lightly armoured vehicles and fortifications, but is unable to destroy a heavily armed main battle tanks (MBT). NORINCO is developing new tank destroyers based on a more powerful 120mm smoothbore main gun and a heavier 8X8 wheeled chassis.

坦克歼击车105毫米主炮能够打击轻装甲车辆和防御工事，但是不能摧毁一辆全装甲主战坦克（MBT）。中国北方工业总公司（NORINCO）正在发展的新型坦克歼击车基于一种更强有力的120毫米滑膛主炮，并且采用更重的8X8轮式底盘。

DESIGN

The PTL02 is based on a number of mature technologies and designs. The system is carried on a WZ551 6X6 wheeled armoured personnel carrier, with the powerpack in front, combat compartment in middle, and ammunitions at rear. The tank destroyer has a crew has a crew of four (commander, gunner, loader and driver). The three-man turret is developed from the turret of the Type 88 MBT.

设计

PTL02以许多的成熟技术和设计为基础。系统装配在一辆WZ551 6X6 轮式装甲人员输送车（APC）上，动力装置前置，战斗隔舱在中部和弹药在后部。坦克歼击车全体组员四名（指挥官、炮手、装弹员和驾驶员）。三人炮塔由88式主战坦克（MBT）的炮塔发展。

The 105mm main gun and its fire control system onboard the PTL02 was derived from the Type 88 main battle tank.PTL02的105 毫米主炮和它的火控系统起源于88式主战坦克。

ARMAMENT

The main weapon is a 105mm high-pressure, low-recoil rifled gun, which can fire armour piercing fin stabilised discarding sabot (APFSDS) with tungsten core, as well as HEAT and HE rounds. The vehicle carries 30 rounds.

武器

主武器是一门105毫米高膛压低后座力线膛炮，能发射使用钨杆尾翼稳定脱壳穿甲弹（APFSDS）、反坦克高爆弹（HEAT）和高爆弹（HE）。车辆携带30发弹药。

Fire accuracy is attained by a primitive FCS light spot fire control system with IR night vision and laser rangefinder input. The same fire control system is also fitted on the Type 88 MBT.

射击精度获得是采用一套简单的使用红外夜视和激光测距仪输入的FCS光点火控系统。相同的火控系统也被安装在88式主战坦克（MBT）上。

China has also developed the 105mm gun-launched missile based on the Russian Bastion technology. The missile has a maximum range of 4,000~5,000m and a single hit probability (against static targets) of over 90%. As well as being used for anti-armour warfare, the missile can also be used to attack low-flying air targets such as helicopters.

中国也已经发展基于俄国堡垒（Bastion）技术的105毫米炮射导弹。导弹最大射程4,000~5,000米和单发攻击概率超过90%（对抗静止目标）。除了用于反装甲战斗，导弹也能用来攻击低飞空中目标，像是直升飞机。

Auxiliary weapons include one 12.7mm/50-calibre anti-aircraft machinegun mounted on the command cupola, with a maximum fire-range of 2,000m and 480 rounds, and a 7.62mm co-axial machinegun with 800 rounds. A four-barrel smoke grenade launcher is mounted on each side of the turret.

辅助武器包括安装在指挥炮塔上的12.7豪米/.50防空机枪，最大射程2,000米连同480发弹药，还有一挺7.62毫米共轴机枪连同800发弹药。在炮塔每侧安装一具四管烟榴弹发射器。

PROTECTION

The armour protection of the PTL02 is fairly limited, only capable of defending against 7.62mm calibre weapons. There are four smoke grenade launchers on each side of the turret. The crew members are protected by a collective NBC protection system and an automatic fire suppressing system.

保护

PTL02的装甲保护是相当有限的，唯一有能力抵抗7.62毫米口径武器。在炮塔的每侧上有四个烟榴弹发射器。组员防护来自一套集体核、生、化保护系统和一套自动灭火抑制系统。

PROPULSION

The tank destroyer is powered by a German-designed BF8L413F 4-stroke, 8-cylinder, turbo-charged, air-cooled diesel engine with a standard power of 235kW (320hp) at 2,500r/min.  

推进

坦克歼击车安装一台德国设计的BF8L413F型4冲程8气缸涡轮增压风冷柴油机，标准动力2,500 转/分钟235千瓦（320马力）。

The vehicle has 9 forward and 1 reverse gears, with mechanical gear box, power assisted steering and independent suspensions. Its a central inflating system can adjust the tire pressure according to road conditions. The tires can support the vehicle to travel 100km at a speed of 30km/h after being damaged.

车辆有9个前进档和1个后退档，使用机械式齿轮箱、助力转向和独立悬挂。它的中央充气系统能够依照道路状态调整轮胎压力。轮胎能在损坏情况下支持车辆以30公里/小时的速度行进100公里。
