The Chinese Type 59 fighter is the Chinese version of the Soviet T-54A tank. The first production vehicle was delivered in 1958, and its inclusion in the arsenal was in 1959, beginning its serial production in 1963. Approximately 9,500 were produced and its production was officially finished in 1980, with approximately 5,500 in service in the Army Popular of Liberation. This combat car represented until recently the armored column of the Chinese forces, with an estimate of 5,000 units in active service of the latest Type 59-I and Type 59-II variants in 2002. Type 59 was constantly modified throughout of the years, replacing its 100 mm barrel with a 105 mm barrel. It is also the basis for designs of later Chinese models such as Type 69 and other models built in allied countries of China.
