Ghanaian military has acquired dozens of VN-22 armoured vehicles from China, to enhance its combat lethality.<\/p>\n
At least 20 of the vehicles arrived Tema seaport on Saturday 26 October, from China. Ghanaian versions are equipped with a 30 mm autocannon.<\/p>\n
The VN-22 is a family of Chinese wheeled 6\u00d76 armoured fighting vehicles intended for export. Designed and produced by Norinco, it was first unveiled at the 13th China International Aviation & Aerospace Exhibition in 2021.<\/p>\n
Since the VN-22 was designed to be modular, the platform can be mounted with a variety of different turrets housing various weapon systems.<\/p>\n
Typically, the family of the VN-22 wheeled armored vehicles, primarily focuses on export, has featured variants aimed at armored personnel transport (APC) and infantry combat (IFV) equipped with both manned and unmanned turrets. These come with a variety of armament options, ranging from light and heavy machine guns to 30mm cannons.<\/p>\n
The vehicle has appliqu\u00e9 armour plating covering the majority of the vehicle. When fully equipped, they give the vehicle the ability to protect against 14.5 mm amour-piercing rounds (NATO STANAG 4569 Level 4 equivalent) from all directions.<\/p>\n
The VN22 also features a V-shaped hull for enhanced protection against landmines and IEDs.<\/p>\n
In Africa, the VN-22 has been exported to Ivory Coast and Senegal. They would enhance the combat capabilities of the Ghanaian Army.<\/p>\n
