The Type 63 Amphibious Tank (English: Type 63 Amphibious Tank, Chinese factory code: WZ211) is the first generation of amphibious tanks developed by China in the 1960s, developed by China North Industries Corporation. The design began in October 1958, and small production started in 1960 and delivered to the army for trial use. According to the problems found in the trial production and testing, improvements were made. It was in March 1963, named the Type 63 Amphibious Tank, and put into mass production. It began to be equipped with the army in 1964. The Type 63 amphibious tank was exported to North Vietnam for use in the Vietnam War and participated in the 1979 Sino-Vietnamese War. Aiming at the problems exposed in use, the Type 63 amphibious tank was significantly improved from 1979 to 1980, and mass production was carried out according to the improved standards from 1980. A variety of derivative models have been developed subsequently, such as the Type 63A amphibious tank, the 77-1 amphibious armored transport vehicle, and the 03P amphibious tank.
