Description
The GBL-130 Chinese Armored Mine Dispenser is based on an enlarged ZSD-89 APC hull. It is 0.076m longer and 0.042m wider than the standard ZSD8-9, with the number of road wheels, increased from five to six pairs. This provides the vehicles with extra space for mine dispensing equipment. The vehicle has a stepped rear hull roof to enable six mine dispensers to operate simultaneously. The number of observation ports and roof hatches were reduced, and the rear exit door is smaller in size compared to that of the ZSD-89.
