I believe it's a Chinese-made Type 63 amphibious tank (possibly Norinco?) http://www.military-today.com/tanks/type_63.htm |

Is the location the US embassy in Saigon? |

The tank is described as North-Vietnamese. Location is indeed Saigon. |

I mean that this tank was made in PRC. |

Yes, and I meant this tank was in use by North-Vietnamese soldiers. |

I don't think that I ever implied that it wasn't NVA tank, since the title is "Vietnam in HD" ![]() |

So this is the legendary tank, which broke the gate of the South Vietnamese Presidental Palace? But it isn't parked there today. Last November these two were there: ![]() On the roof of the Palace is parked ![]() |
