Descrizione

The new 05 series amphibious fighting vehicle is similar to the U.S. Expeditionary Fight Vehicle (EFV) in concept. The vehicle was designed to be launched at sea, from an amphibious assault ship 10km or more offshore, capable of high-speed (>25 km) travelling to shore

The most distinctive feature of the 05 series is the hydraulically actuated bow and transom flaps, the bow and transom flaps together with the bottom of the hull can form a planning surface, allowing the vehicle to go faster by using its speed and hull-shape to lift the front part of the hull out of the water, thus greatly reducing the hydrodynamic drag on the vehicle.

The ZTL-05 is armed with a fully-stabilised 105mm rifled gun mounted on a welded three-man turret. The gun is specially modified to reduce the recoil to allow firing in swimming. Secondary weapons include a 7.62mm machine gun, a 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine gun mounted on the roof of the turret, and two sets of four-barrel smoke grenade launchers mounted on the side of the turret. The vehicle has a crew of four.
