The ZBL-09 is an 8x8 wheeled armored vehicle that has served as the basis for an entire family of Chinese armored vehicles. Introduced in 2009, the infantry carrier version of this 21-ton vehicle can carry three crew and seven passengers, and comes armed with a 30 mm cannon. The road speed of the ZBL-09 is 100 kph, and the vehicle is fully amphibious with a water speed of 8 kph. The ZBL-09 is essentially the Chinese equivalent of the American Stryker, and as such a 105 mm gun-armed support version of the vehicle also exists.
