| Description |
|
The PTL-02 or type 87 (also called WMA-301) wheeled armoured vehicle tank destroyer consists of an 6x6 chassis, and a turret armed with a 105 mm or 100 mm rifled gun. The PTL-02 is designed and manufactured by the Chinese Defense Company Norinco (China North Industries Corporation). The PTL02 was designed to engage armoured vehicles, bunkers, fortifications, and other stationary or moving targets, but is unable to destroyer a heavily armed main battle tank (MBT). The tank destroyer was based on many mature technologies to reduce development costs and simplify logistic supply.

The PTL-02 is equipped with a two man turret, armed with a a 100mm high-pressure, low-recoil smoothbore gun developed from the Type 86 towed anti-tank gun.

Fire accuracy is attained by a primitive Type 37A light-spot fire control system with night vision and laser rangefinder input. The PTL-02 can be also armed with a low-recoil 105 mm gun fitted with a muzzle brake, a fume extractor and a thermal sleeve. A 7.62 mm machine gun is mounted coaxially to the main armament and there is a 12.7 mm machine gun mounted to the roof of the turret for anti-aircraft use. Four smoke-grenades discharger are mounted to each rear side of the turret.
