It was manufactured in 1984 and is typical of a late production Type 69-II (source: Museum Vehicle Record). It was captured in Iraq, which had started to purchase the Type 69 in 1983, after which substantial deliveries followed. This exhibit was captured during the Gulf War and it appears to have served as a command tank. It is displayed with mannequins representing two members of the crew. The crude plumbing on its left side was designed to duct smoke from the exhaust and release it at the front of the tank as a smoke screen. This tank was moved into storage from the Post War Hall in November 2011 (source: Museum Vehicle Record).
