The Type 63 has been fielded by Vietnamese and Chinese armies during the Vietnam War and the Sino-Vietnamese War.
During the Chinese invasion of Vietnam, it proved to be very valuable because of its protection and its cross-country abilities.
The Zairan forces used it during the Angolan Civil War, as did the Tanzanians during the Uganda–Tanzania War.
During the Iran–Iraq War, China exported quantities of Type 63s to Iraq.
These vehicles have seen further service during the Gulf War and the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
The Peshmerga forces used a least one Type 63 APC against the Islamic State.
