The show began with a regular showing off of weaponry, such as the upgraded KA helicopter. However, towards the end, the Russian Federation proudly revealed a revolutionary, never before seen vehicle.

Main weapon: 125mm smooth or rifled bore

All targeting systems, range, fuel capacity, and exact specifications confidential.

The new tank was seen at a distance and amazed spectators as it destroyed 4 moving targets in under 22 seconds. The frontal armor is capable of taking a direct hit from any tank round and all ground fired AT missiles. Even if the tank is destroyed, the crew is likely to survive due to the placement of armor, system, an escape hatch and the crew itself.

The Black Bear will not be sold at this time, due to the secrecy of the exact specifications.

Also, an entire company of future-RuFedEG had hidden away on the proving grounds. Not only did this aid in training for stealth and stalking missions, but when their locations were announced and they were ordered to reveal themselves, the crowd was fascinated. Not a single RuFedEG had been spotted even though some had been just meters from the crowd.
