The Type 63 was a self-propelled anti-aircraft weapons system.
Type 63 - Type 58 converted into an SPAAG armed with Chinese twin 37 mm Type 63 AA Guns in a new improvised armoured square flat-plate open-topped turret. The turret armour is 15 mm thick on all sides. It was used during the Vietnam War as a cheaper alternative to Soviet-made ZSU-57-2 SPAAG. It is unknown whether it was made by the Chinese or by the North Vietnamese. One of those vehicles was captured by ARVN troops during 1972 Easter Offensive.
Created to meet the requirement of a self propelled anti-aircraft gun, the Chinese took the chassis from a Soviet T-34 tank and added an open top turret with twin 37mm anti-aircraft guns. The guns were loaded manually with 5-round clips. The resulting vehicle, the Type 63, was a severely limited weapon. It has no provision for radar control and had to be sighted and elevated manually. This rendered it of little use versus fast, low flying aircraft.
