Product Description
The VN16 tracked amphibious assault vehicle was developed specifically for mechanized forces and the Marine Corps, for use in conjunction with the VN18 amphibious infantry fighting vehicle in amphibious landing missions. The VN16 incorporates numerous advanced technologies, such as a high-powered engine, a highly efficient waterjet propulsion system, a lightweight alloy armored hull, skidding technology, and an adjustable hydropneumatic suspension system. Thanks to these new technologies, the vehicle possesses high-speed performance and strong amphibious adaptability. After years of mass production and technological improvements, the VN16 amphibious armored assault vehicle has become mature, reliable, and stable in performance.
The VN16 amphibious armored assault vehicle is particularly suitable for offensive missions such as island landings, field clearing and consolidation, as well as defensive anti-landing operations. The VN16 is equipped with a 105mm low-recoil tank gun, capable of destroying enemy combat personnel, armored targets, and fortifications at a range of 2000 meters. The VN16 integrates a command and control fire control system, enabling it to engage moving targets even while traveling on land or in sea state 3. The VN16’s overall performance reaches world-class levels, especially in terms of amphibious speed and seaworthiness, surpassing traditional amphibious assault vehicles and achieving the highest level among currently operational vehicles.
