Comparing: WZ-111 vs. T34

Development of the heavy tank prototype on the basis of the Soviet IS-2 and IS-3 began in the early 1960s under the influence of the T-10. The vehicle was supposed to modernize the armored forces of the PLA. The trials revealed multiple faults, and the development of the vehicle was discontinued in 1964.

Developed in 1945 as a modernization of the T30 heavy tank. The vehicle was equipped with the 120 mm T53 gun and the new Continental AV-1790 engine. Because of the decline in heavy tank development after the end of World War II, the T34 never entered service. The prototypes were used in field trials.
