Description
The Merkava Mk 10 is designed to take on any other main battle tank in the world and come out on top. It combines strong armor, advanced fire control, and a powerful main gun that gives it a distinctive edge in combat. As well as acting as a main battle tank, the tank is capable of carrying 8 infantry soldiers or 3 stretcher casualties or any other kind of cargo you could imagine. This gives the tank the ability to act as a Infantry Fighting Vehicle and preform a greater range of tasks.
Weaponry
The Merkava Mk 10 main gun is a 120mm or 140mm smoothbore gun. The gun has a fume extractor and a thermal sleeve and is capable of firing APFSDS, HEAT, or HE-FRAG rounds. Barrel length is L55 in 120mm or L44 in 140mm. The gun is loaded from a 15 round revolving magazine operated by the loader, another 50 rounds of 120mm or 33 140mm is carried in protective containers ready to load. The loader can automatically select the ammo type from the magazine. The magazine's compartments are very easy to change in case of caliber change. The revolving magazine can achieve a ROF of 1 round every 3 seconds. The turret has a complete traverse time of 2 seconds. Maximum effective range of the 120mm gun is 4km, while the 140mm gun is 6km
The main gun can also fire the LAHAT missile system. The LAHAT missile is a laser guided anti-tank missile that can penetrate 1,000mm of armor with a range of 12km. The missile can be designated by something other then the firing tank. Infantry can call in a missile strike from 12km away from a Merkava Mk 10.
On top of the turret is a 25mm OCSW that can fire 25mm airbursting grenades out to 2,000m. The launcher is belt-fed and holds 450 rounds of HE. The gun can be controlled internally by the commander by video feed or externally manually. Also mounted is a 7.62mm machine gun co-axily.
There is an internally operated 60mm mortar that can fire HE, illumination, or special guided rounds. The J56 "Tiny Tim" is a small HEAT warhead that packs quite a punch for a 60mm round. It homes in on IR or is laser guided signatures and can penetrate 300mm of RHA. Maximum range of the mortar is 3,200m and maximum ammo is 38 rounds.
Fire Control, Observation, and Communications
The El Op fire control system is developed by Johnistani Defensive Systems. It can lock onto and track 10 different targets and engage them all in 30 seconds, less if you consider the secondary weapons. The fire control has shown a high hit probability against moving helicopters while on the move using main gun ammo.
The crew is able to observe the battlefield through the EYES observation systems. Around the tank are 5 cameras that provide a constant 360 degree view. The gunner, commander, and driver are able to view any one of these cameras using his/her screen. Each camera has a x15 zoom, a thermal imager, and nightvision.
The tank uses the J-RAY battle managment system. Each tank/infantry/artillery with J-RAY battle management system is shown on a GPS map. The system uses a VCR-20 radio embedded with two auxillery recievers that allows instant communication with other units. The fire control automatically relays target data through the system to other tanks.
Self-Protection
The hull is designed around the large 1800 horsepower diesel engine placed in the front of the tank. This large engine provides increased frontal hull protection as well as freeing up space in the rear for the 8 infantry soldiers. The passive armor is a combination of Depleted Uranium, Titanium, tungsten and Ceramics. There is no steel in the tanks construction. This not only provides a superior level of protection but also reduces weight about 20%. The turret is protected by a modular armor system that gives great protection against all range of threats. A spall liner lines the crew compartment to protect against fragments.
The tank is also protected by Kaktus-20 ERA. This ERA not only protects against HEAT but Sabot rounds. This ERA has shown to reduce DU long rod penetrators effectivness by 35%.
The Merkava is equipped with the Shtora-10 active protection system. When the Merkava is lasered the crew is warned and the turret is swung to face the incoming threat. Smoke can be created using the engine or smoke grenades can be launched from a 8 barreled launcher. There are two 5 round flare launchers on each side of the tank, the flares burn extremely hot and IR guided ATGMs divert their attention to the flare, not the tank.
The rounds for the main gun are stored in protective containers. There is a skirt of ball and chains on the back of the turret to protect against HEAT warheads.
The Merkava is also equipped with the Arena-5 defensive system. A instant scan radar identifies incoming ATGMs and launches a grenade at them. The grenade either destroys or disables the the ATGM to a point where it is no longer a threat. There are 15 grenades that can be launched by the commander in case of point defense.
RHA Front: 2,000mm
Sides: 1000mm
Back: 600mm
Top: 700mm
Propulsion
The Merkava Mk 10 is powered by a 1800 horsepower diesel engine. This stored fuel gives the Merkava an operational range of 500km.
Cost: 6.5 million USD but for you 6 million

The Empire is intristed, but we would like to see your product before making any concessions though.

Sure.
we will have products up very soon. there will be no armored cars used for war,, these are simply for the use of the public but may be used for govermental use. Some cars my be converted to withstand gunshots but nothing big, these would be converted for special services but would look like civialian cars and carry no weapons.

The Number of Pictures wont be a problem for the Empire.
The Dictatorship of Benicius is looking at importing 1930's European designed automobiles. Is this within your capabilities? It must also be stressed that under new environmental guidelines standard petroleum combustion engines are outlawed in a push for sustainable economic growth.
Are there any alternative engine types that your nation can manufacture such as air propelled engines? If so please let the Minister for Transport know.
Required: steady monthy quota of 100 automobiles. Please work out costs per car, including Benician non-regional tariffs of 20%.
Heil Benicius,
Secretary to the Minister for Transport
Dictatorship of Benicius.
i dont understand... you want 1930s cars.. with state of the art enviromentally friendly engines? the cost of these.. one of these units would cost lots of money. the fact that you would like an older car to be produced which means my factories would have to be refitted to make these antiques,, then you want me to put a state of the art engine in it? its either you get an old car with a bad engine or buy new state of the art cars with that only emit water fumes.
Well unless you can show the Minister for Transport a picture or working model of your automobiles then Benicius shall have to look elsewhere.
Heil Benicius!
Secretary to the Minister for Transport,
Dictatorship of Benicius.

Galdania preferrs that you not compete with our Automobiles. We have government stations everywhere in thew world, and we can make things very unfortunate for your tiny companies in your capitalist world of 'money' and 'profits'.
Galdania can make better cars, for far lower a cost, due to collectivized factories which make cars from all-Galdanian parts, therefore reducing costs for making a vehicle to $0.

The great nation of Kwaswhakistan has been developing a new, state of the art propulsion system for cars (OOC: I claim copyrights on this in this game and in real life, i have plans drawn out, it will work). IC: It is an electromagnetic engine. It is similar to the combustion engine excep it uses magnets and electromagnets. Though I can't build your cars, I can build you the engines. US$15,000 per engine right now. That price is for the biggest engine we offer. The price goes as low as US$6,000. Please respond.
Lomak out.

is there anyone out there?
fine galdania i will only design armored cars for govermental use not civillian or military use. I may also start building engines.
