VT-4砲身破裂事件

Chinese experts’ view on the VT-4 barrel rupture incident: In December 2025, a VT-4 main battle tank operated by the Royal Thai Army (RTA) suffered an accident during combat operations near the border between Thailand and Cambodia, with its ZPT-98A gun, produced by Norinco, suffered a barrel burst, injuring 3 crew members. Norinco’s investigation attributes the cause to improper operation and maintenance rather than manufacturing defects. Key factors cited:• Irregular barrel maintenance • Foreign objects inside the barrel • Improper ammunition storageThe company emphasized that export models follow the same production standards as those supplied to the PLA, ruling out material or manufacturing issues. https://x.com/lfx160219/status/2039257264432025768https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=pfbid037M8CL8bDuxffX2GBV7a8uM3dUb8qAcud4dGVHTNzMi6NZbyfSZ1oytNGvdVW2DkKl&id=61579089655015
