Kazakhstania has been meaning to release this soon, but has held it back. We have held it back for your benefit, to make sure our product is as good as we can make it, and leads the way in combat in the future. So, we give it finally to you here today, and we hope you find our product satisfying and worth the respect it deserves.
So, without further ado.....
M-36 Infantry Fighting Vehicle
http://www.bulba.eu.org/mil/free/cv90/cv90120.jpg
Design
Designed to be a replacement for the M-12 IFV, the M-36 has become an accompanying tank to the main M-26's, and in a support role to the main M-12 IFV's. It is now less a replacement, but still features in huge numbers in our military. It is a significant advance in Armoured Vehicle Design, on our part.
The main Chassis shares many design traits with the M-12M IFV (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=98289&highlight=). The chassis is steep at the front to deflect shells, and construction friendly around the sides. It is a streamlined shape, constructed of the lightest but strongest materials.
This material is Titanium Alloy in an Epoxy Resin Honeycomb. It is strong, durable and very, very dense. It can stop most shells from penetrating the tank. But our new development, for the first time released to the world, is our NEDA, Non Explosive Deflective Armour. This is Explosive Reactive Armour in tiny Honeycombs around the vehicle. These honeycombs only explode when exploded into, therefore not wasting a whole block, and causing no injuries to bystanders.
The interior of the tank is very different. The engine is in the same part as the M-12, but the crew are situated to the very front. The crew includes a Driver and a Gunner/Commander. The Gunner/Commander controls the automated turret, and fired the turret mounted 12.7mm remote control MG via a small screen and joystick in the cockpit,, or climb up through the turret to the gun.
To the back is the passenger compartment. This has room for up to four fully equipped passengers, one litter or a hell of a lot of ammo. The turret above them is fully openable, with numerous access hatches and a lot of computers. The ammo container is down to the left of the tank, in a sealed off container. There are even bulkheads between the crewmembers.
The Engine is the same one as on the M-12:
Powered by a dynamic 500 Horsepower Hydrogen engine, which does not require fuel, the tank is fast and effective. It can carry all its passengers and ammo, and is very manoeuvrable and responsive. This means battlefield helpfulness and allows logistics to be thrown out the window.
The power plant is slick and reliable, and is designed to produce minimal vibrations with the quietest noise. It is also partially liquid cooled. Hell, the water that it exhausts cools it :D
Systems
This vehicle has the same tried and tested systems as the M-26.
First off, there is the Joint Tactical Information Distribution System. It allows tanks to talk to other tanks, records and sends data and manages the tanks communications systems. It is high speed and is managed by the SuperComputer just in front of the engine. It looks after inter-tank and inside tank information, and can communicate with any JTIDS equipped vehicle/unit on the planet. It either uses Satellite Communication or laser Communication.
The little antennae on the tanks roof does a lot. It transmits all satellite, radio and laser communications to communicate in any way. It is directly linked to the SuperComputer and can transmit to any covered area on the globe. This may seem minor, but is central in communication.
The 360-degree camera systems are mounted on the roof and are integrated with the Thermal and Night Vision Imaging systems. There are 2, for the Gunner and Commander. Screens at each position show the tanks status and various other things, which are monitored by sensors and the SuperComputer.
Both the gunner and commander enable the targeting system. It conveys messages to the Autoloader, co-axial gun and turret-mounted gun. The aiming system incorporates wind, temperature and target positioning and caters for it in adjusting the gun. The gunner can even target manually. It can be set to aim at Heat giving objects or targets given to it by the JTIDS. It also manages the targeting of the Anti Missile Laser, depending on which mode it is set to. This means quick and effective anti missile targeting.
The tank economy system monitors the engine and tread movement and modifies it depending on where the gunner wants the tank to go. It also varies the water exhaust flow, and manages the movement controls. A full NBC system is installed with filters in between the crew compartments and various exhaust systems.
The Jammer installed is a Multi-Frequency Electronic Jammer, nicknamed ARENA-4. It can jam electronics up to 600 metres away guaranteed and less so for hardened systems. For extra dosh, an anti jammer-jammer called Dragon can be installed.
The supercomputer itself is ultra fast and can hold, give and pass on info in nano seconds. It is liquid cooled, amazingly by the liquid produced by the engine. It maintains everything in the tank, and is vital.
Weaponry
This is where this IFV shines out from any other IFV. It has a huge arnament. It is a brilliant tank in that it can take out most MBT's, yet still carry up to 4 troops at the same time. It can easily take out tanks such as the M1A2. It has, indeed, the same arnament as the M-15 Light Battle Tank. In fact, this IFV could make the M-15 obsolete on a modern battlefield.
This tank would be nothing without a large cannon. It would not be able to combat MBT’s, or even penetrate their armour. A larger cannon than 105mm was needed, but the size and design of the tank provided a challenge. A new weapon was need, more powerful than the last.
So, we enlarged the turret for a 120mm gun. But this still left a lot to be desired. So, we decided to install an 120mm Electro Thermal Chemical Cannon. This allows the power of an 130mm cannon in smaller space. It is also reliable and powerful. Most modern tanks are armed with one, and it is the same here.
The secondary weapon on this tank is its Kornet ATGM’s. There are two mounts on either side of the turret, where an ATGM pod can be fixed. These allow 4 Kornet ATGM’s to be loaded in each. This allows 8 ATGM’s to be carried.

As side armaments, a 20mm Rapid Fire grenade launcher is coaxially mounted next to the cannon, and a mounted .50 cal machine gun is over the commander’s periscope, for anti helicopter use. This combo is great for anti infantry and helicopter. This tank is overall well armed and operated.
Also, on this IFV there is a 30mm AutoCannon, the same as on a BMP-2. This allows it to have the same arnament as an IFV, while having an 120mm too. All this, as well as 4 troops. Finally, there are the coutnermeasures off an M-26:
The laser anti missile system is also installed. It can take out ATGM's, RPG's and even Tank Shells. It is operated by the onboard computer, and is very, very accurate. So far we have had a 100% accuracy record. It is crucial in defending the tank, and makes it basically inviolable from anything but another tank.

There are, as you can see, 6 Smoke Grenade dispensers on each side and 4 not visible on the rear. 12 Are loaded with smoke grenades, 2 with Flares and 2 with Chaff. As an extra that can be fitted, 2 SAM missiles can be loaded on each side of the turret. Again for extra $$$.
Now, after I have detailed all about this IFV, which is perhaps the best in the world, I wills ell it with stats, and the final pics.
