The ZLC-2000 airborne combat vehicle entered service with the Chinese airborne units in 2003. It is the first Chinese ACV.
Vehicle is armed with a 25-mm turret mounted cannon. The turret is also completed with a HJ -73C anti-tank guided missile launcher.
The ZLC-2000 can be airdropped from any medium transport aircraft using parachute platform. Unlike the latest Russian ACV designs the ZLC-2000 is dropped separately from the crew.
