Reports suggest it was a copy of the Type 15/ZTQ-15 tank (also known as VT-5), which was allegedly made in China. However, it remains unclear who exactly produced it and for what purpose.This model was reportedly considered to become a military vehicle in service with the Chinese Marines, despite the fact that it can't float.
