The Li-Jien Dynamics Z22 Baekho (Zhenian: Z22 백호) is a 8x8 armored fighting vehicle produced by Li-Jien Dynamics aimed for service in the Greater Eastern Union Defense Forces across all branches, aimed to replace numerous existing armored personnel carriers within service. The vehicle is best characterized for its modular nature, which adds to its versatility and operational capacity to meet an array of operational demands, as well as its emphasis on heavy armor aimed for both large-scale absolute warfare and counterinsurgency warfare, where IEDs and rocket-propelled weapons have been increasingly common.
