In addition to the improvements in protection, the ZBD-04A has made tremendous progress in information technology level, equipped with new equipment such as laser and millimeter wave enemy identification system and all-army common data chain terminal. In the fire control system, the second generation of domestic steady image type captain's perimeter sight and integrated gun captain's mirror are changed, 1П-10 captain's daytime air-to-air sight is cancelled, and millimeter wave array is added. The improved firepower of ZBD-04A has been greatly improved.
All along, the 9M117M1 gun-launched missile supporting the БМП-3 infantry fighting vehicle has been widely criticized because it does not have the ability to attack the top and the 750mm armor-breaking depth of the tandem combat section cannot effectively deal with today's mainstream third-generation main battle tanks. After the improvement of the millimeter wave guidance head, the domestic gun-launched missile has the ability to dive and attack the top, and the same armor-breaking power can deal with main battle tanks, including the M1A2T.
