The ZLC2000 tracked vehicle was introduced by the People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) in 2003. It has been designed for being airdropped by medium-sized transport aircraft such as Il-76M. NORINCO provided the ZLC2000 in three variants: command and control; infantry fighting vehicle; and anti-tank guided missile carrier. The ZBD-03 was presented for the first time to the public, during the military parade in Beijing, the 01 October 2010, for the 60th Anniversary of the People's Republic of China 1949 - 2009.
