Tank origin
The Type 79 is an updated Type 69-II with enhancements largely resulting from better relations with the West. Improvements include the Type 83 105 mm gun (a copy of the British L7), a Marconi Fire Control System (FCS), passive infrared (IR) imaging, self-sealing Nuclear Biological Chemical hatches, and a more powerful engine.
