The Type 43 (第四十三式) was a program produced for the People's Liberation Army Ground Forces. Despite originally being designed as an bomb disposal robot, CETC instead made it larger than what it was intentionally meant to be. The first prototype was developed in China's invasion of the Republic of China (Taiwan), before being used in Japan. The Type 43 saw heavy use in Taiwan and Japan, proving useful in the early stages of the war, before finding itself outmatched and outgunned by the Unmanned Modular Drone Weapon Systems made by Raytheon.
