QN-506 Combat II Fire Support Vehicle

The QN-506 Combat II is a multi-purpose armored fire support vehicle designed for urban warfare, counter-insurgency, and battlefield reconnaissance. Built on a modified Type 59 tank chassis, it features an unmanned turret equipped with an array of autocannons, guided missiles, and loitering munitions to engage diverse ground and low-altitude aerial targets.

Developed as a private venture by Wuhan Guide Infrared, the QN-506 was first publicly unveiled at the Zhuhai Airshow in 2018. The vehicle was designed to emulate the operational concept of the Russian BMPT 'Terminator' series, offering a highly armed combat support platform that utilizes surplus Type 59 tank hulls. While primarily marketed toward export customers looking to upgrade legacy armored fleets, the platform serves as a significant technology demonstrator for integrating multi-spectral sensors, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and precision-guided munitions onto a single tactical vehicle.
