Type 625


Type 625 firing

Hello everyone :), what I would like to introduce today is Type 625.

Introduction

Type 625 is the self use version, which will be publicly equipped in China’s air defense forces in 2021. The vehicle uses 6-barrel 25mm Gatling guns and is equipped with 4 × HN-6B or FN-16 anti-aircraft missiles on both sides of the turret, which is a long-range integrated anti-aircraft system.


Type 625 equipped with radar

Its chassis was developed from the MV3 truck, adding a pair of axles on top of the 6X6 truck, making it a highly maneuverable chassis for the 8X6. It can be transferred and maneuvered on the road, and has excellent off-road capabilities, allowing it to quickly reach combat positions.The maximum speed can reach 90km/h.

As it is a reduced and cheaper model, some Type 625s are not equipped with a search radar and are commanded by a command vehicle. Therefore, it is recommended to use the radar as a modification, and it is not equipped by default. Its main weapon is a 6-barrel 25mm machine gun that can fire AHEAD shells and effectively shoot down aircraft at close range. At long distances, it can use the HN-6B or FN-16 air defense missile, which has good anti-interference performance and high hit rate. It is an excellent missile and is widely equipped in air defense vehicles.

Some Type 625s are not equipped with radar

The positioning of the vehicle is similar to the Pantsir-S1 air defense system, which is an attempt by China to integrate wheeled ammunition and artillery. Some of the previously developed technologies for integrating wheeled ammunition and artillery were ultimately used to develop the Type 625 air defense vehicle. It integrates many advanced technologies and has good single vehicle combat capabilities.

In game

Type 625 is an air defense system with strong maneuverability, excellent air defense capabilities, and advanced equipment. It can launch AHEAD shells and has good interception effects in far and near air defense. Its appearance is sci-fi and is widely loved by players. His missile has image recognition capability and can effectively shoot down enemy aircraft. Suggest placing it in 10.3 as a supplement to SPAAG.

FN-16 is a new generation of individual air defense missile that uses infrared/ultraviolet imaging guidance heads, which can attack in all directions. It has the ability to ignore launch, high accuracy, and strong anti-interference ability. It is mainly used for field air defense, intercepting fixed wing aircraft, helicopters, cruise missiles, and drones invading at low and ultra-low altitudes. This is the foreign trade version of HN-6B, so the performance is almost the same.

  • Missile diameter: 72mm
  • Weight: 16kg
  • Max speed:750m/s
  • Range: 500-6000 meters
  • Fuze: Laser proximity fuse
  • Reaction time: 5s

The missile of 625E is FB-10A, while the missile of 625 is MANPAD. At the same time, the main gun of 625E can be replaced with a 30mm gun with 6 tubes

Definitely need it! +1

A video shows 625 has APDS ammo

That’s going to be deadly. Essentially it’s an LAV-AD with RADAR, 3rd-generation thermals, and APDS.

Idk how the HN-6B missiles compare to in-game HN-6 missiles on the PGZ04A.

I’m not exactly sure, but i think the FN-16 is the HN-6B(E), if so, these should be the specifications and whatnot

Do we know anything on the type of APDS-T it uses? Do we know name of the round or if it could actually be FAPDS-T which is better for AA? It’a a major factor in capability/battle rating as APDS-T is great for armor but FAPDS-T would melt both air and armor. Not to mention, is the ammo from the 30mm or 25mm version of the Type 625E? Video doesn’t load for me.

Really rough comparison between the different rounds.


Word, solid missile like the K-version of the stinger.

The video only shows that the 625 has APDS ammo, but there is no accurate information on that at this time. I only have a picture here about the Chinese 25mm APDS.

What is certain though is that the DTC10-30 is FAPDS-T and there are papers on it to back it up.
