During the Cold War era, it was the backbone of Chinese armored forces and was exported to many so-called Third World countries. It is known for its participation in the Vietnam War, the armed suppression of the Tiananmen protests (1989), the Iran–Iraq War, and various conflicts in the Middle East.
