The Type 19 Infantry Fighting Vehicle ( Chinese : 19式步兵战车 ; pinyin : Yāo jiǔ shì bùbīng zhàn chē ) is a family of eight-wheeled amphibious , modular armored vehicle of the People's Republic of China .
The vehicle layout of the Type 19 is similar to that of the previous Type 08 vehicles, with the driver and engine bay at the front and the troop compartment in the middle. However, unlike Type 08, Type 19 features an unmanned weapon station as a turret, offering a more spacious interior for the dismounted infantry. The crew consists of three people: the driver, the gunner, and the commander.
The armament consists of one barrel of 30 mm autocannon, one 5.8 mm coaxial machine gun, and four HJ-16 anti-tank guided missiles. The anti-tank guided missiles are mounted in an armored enclosure located on the right-hand side of the turret, with armored plates protecting its side. The HJ-16 missile is developed from an export-oriented QN-502C missile, with fire-and-forget launch mode, TV/thermal dual-mode seeker, inertial guidance , man-in-the-loop target datalink, 10 km (6.2 mi) of range, and armor penetration capability of 1000 mm. The missile can attack helicopters and target ground vehicles from top-attack angles.
The Type 19 hull is constructed with high-strength steel and layered with modular composite armor panels. The armor provides 360-degree protection against 7.62 mm round, frontal protection against 14.5 mm armor-piercing rounds, and limited protection of 25 mm and 30 mm rounds. The hull is mine-resistant.
The mobility of Type 19 is reportedly similar to its predecessor, powered by Deutz BF6M1015C, developing 440 hp. The vehicle suspension is hydraulic with height adjustment system , reportedly redesigned from Type 08 to support the extra weight and improve driving performance.
Feautres 30 mm autocannon, one 5.8 mm coaxial machine gun, and four HJ-16 anti-tank guided missiles.
