    Type 95 Self-Propelled Anti-Aircraft Artillery
    The Type 95 (also known as PGZ-95) is the self-propelled anti-aircraft artillery (SPAAA) system designed to provide tactical field air defence in an army brigade/regiment. A small number has been in service since the mid-1990s, with production continues into the 21st century. ARMAMENT The 25mm cannon, which is already in service with the PLA in other applications, has a cyclic rate of fire of 600 to 800 rounds per minute per barrel. About 1,000 rounds of 25mm ammunition are carried, and the empty cartridge cases are ejected outside of the turret. The system can be reloaded via an automatic loading mechanism. The 25mm cannon also have a secondary role against ground targets and would be able to destroy most light armoured fighting vehicles. The Type 95 can be fitted with four QW-2 IR-homing, short-range surface-to-air missiles. The missile is derived from the shoulder-launched variant QW-2, which is very similar to the Russian Igla-1 (SA-16 Gimlet). This is claimed to have an effective altitude from 10 to 3,500m and slant ranges of 500 to 6,000m. In a typical target engagement the SAM would be used to engage targets at longer ranges, the 25mm cannon being used to engage aircraft and helicopters at ranges of up to 2,500m and an altitude of 2,000m. FIRE-CONTROL An electro-optic director mounted on the forward part of the turret includes a TV tracking camera, infrared tracking camera and a laser range-finder which feeds information to the onboard fire-control computer. This calculates the weapon-laying data, and when the target is within range the gunner opens fire. The gunner also has a joystick with which to lay the weapons onto the target. The TV tracker has a maximum automatic tracking range of 6,000m while the infrared tracking camera has a maximum range of 5,000m. The laser range-finder is quoted as having a minimum range of 500m, maximum range of 5,500m and is accurate to +/- 5m. The Type 95 is also fitted with a CLC-1 low altitude target search radar installed on the roof of the armament turret. The radar is working at S-band and has a detection range of 11km. The radar antenna is mounted on top of the turret. When the vehicle is travelling, the radar antenna can be folded down forwards to reduce the overall height of the system. System reaction time depends on a number of factors. According to NORINCO, in the radar search mode this is 10 seconds while in the optical mode it is about 6 seconds. VEHICLES The Type 95 consists of a tracked armoured chassis on the roof of which has been installed a new one-person, power-operated turret armed with four 25mm cannons and four QW-2 SAMs. A bank of four electrically operated forward-firing smoke grenade launchers is mounted either side on the lower part of the turret for self-protection. The Type 95 has a crew of three (commander, gunner and driver), a combat weight of 22.5 tonnes and a maximum operational range of 450km. The commander is seated to the immediate rear of the driver and is in overall command of the engagement, receiving target information from the battery command post. COMMAND VEHICLE The Type 95 SPAAA/SAM is part of a complete mobile air-defence system that also includes a battery command vehicle. Mounted on a similar chassis, the command vehicle has a raised superstructure at the rear hull to provide greater internal volume. The vehicle can typically be used to control up to 6~8 SPAAA/SAM systems. Mounted on top of the command vehicle is a S-band CLC-2 PD surveillance radar with a maximum range of 45km and a maximum altitude of up to 4.5km. The CLC-2 search radar feeds information to the data processing system that in turn allocates target information to the individual SPAAG/SAM units. Communications equipment installed in the battery command vehicles allows it to transmit information in a digital form up to 5km, by standard radio up to 15km and by wire up to 500m. The command vehicle is also provided with a navigation system and an auxiliary power unit needed to power the additional electronics mounted in the vehicle. The commander is seated to the rear of the driver and mounted above his cupola is a manually operated 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine gun (AAMG). A bank of four electrically operated smoke grenade launchers is mounted either side of the forward part of the raised superstructure. A typical Type 95 battery would consist of 6 SPAAA/SAM systems, one battery command vehicle, three ammunition re-supply vehicles, one battery testing vehicle and one power supply vehicle, all of which are mounted on the same 6x6 cross-country truck chassis. The crews of the Type 95 can also be trained using a simulator for the gunner.

    NORTH-BENZ HEAVY-DUTY TRUCK
    The North-Benz truck has a two-door forward control cab with four seats. Some variants are fitted with a double-decked sleeping berth in the cab for long-distance travelling. If needed, the driving cab can be fitted with bullet-proof windscreen, wire mesh windscreen protection, and extra armour protections. The vehicle is powered by a German Deutz 1013/1015 liquid-cooled turbocharged diesel engine rated at 220~480hp. Some variants are powered by a Deutz 513F air-cooled diesel for the use in northern desert and snow regions. The unique transmission and fuel designs guarantee the vehicle to function normally in temperature between -40°C and 50°C. The vehicle’s German-designed gearbox has nine forward and one reverse gears. The three axles and six wheels all operate with speed differential locking devices, which ensure that the vehicle still has drive, even when one or more wheels on one side of the vehicle are not in contact with the ground, or have lost traction. Some North-Benz trucks are serving at the transportation line linking Tibet with inland Chinese provinces. The excellent performance of the truck made it particularly suitable for the harsh weather and road condition in Tibet highland (5,000m above sea level). A recent report confirmed that the PLA ordered additional 1,500 North-Benz trucks in 2005.
