The YW-531 is a small armoured personnel carrier developed by China in the 1960s.
The YW-531A was developed in 1968 and featured an improved engine and a new transmission.
This standard model was maintained for many years and was widely exported.
In 1981, a new version of the YW-531B was produced, which featured two access hatches near the center roof of the upper hull, the landing gear was also improved, and the number of external firing ports for soldiers on the hull was also increased.
This model was not intended for export and is still widely used by the Chinese military today.
A heavy 12.5 mm anti-aircraft machine gun was to be mounted in the center of the roof.
The later models were equipped with an armored turret to increase defensive capabilities.
