History

Class: Heavy Infantry Fighting Vehicle (Prototype)
Developed: 2018-2022
Service: N/A
Vehicles Built: 2-3
Operators: N/A

The VN20 Heavy Infantry Fighting Vehicle (or HIFV) is a relatively new machine. It was unveiled in 2020 during a NORINCO exhibition in Northern Mongolia. As the VN designation suggests, it was built for export.

It is based on the VT-4 MBT chassis and it represents an attempt at China's entry to the super-heavy IFV segment. The vehicle is extremely well-protected thanks to MBT-level armor and an ERA kit (likely FY-4 ERA). It's not very mobile though – for its 50 tons, the engine only produces some 670hp.

Two main configurations appeared since 2020. The first one featured a turret similar to that of ZBD-04A IFV and armed with a combination of 100mm and 30mm guns, well-known from the Russian BMP-3 series. This was the initial variant with different side armor and cage armor. It caught the world’s attention by featuring rearward-firing machineguns installed near the troop compartment door, likely an attempt to protect disembarking troops. The second variant appeared in 2022 and was armed with a more advanced and unmanned 30mm turret (likely based on the one used on the VN17 IFV) and an improved set of ERA. It was - and still is - offered for export but so far no countries have shown interest. Two or three prototypes exist.
