T-05 Light Air Drop-Capable Tank
http://img21.photobucket.com/albums/v63/Chlevenkov/T-05A_Front.jpg
The T-05 light tank was designed to be able to be parachuted into hostile territory to provide parachuting forces a reliable, efficient tank that can rival enemy main battle tanks, the T-05 fills that role. The T-05 is developed on the T-04A/B series chassis and carries a single 95mm ETC main gun, which is more than capable of defeating modern tanks' armors. The T-05A was not meant for tank-on-tank/front-on combat but rather serves as a Mobile Gun System, a sort of mobile heavy anti-tank system that can disable enemy tanks, artillery, infantry bunkers, and infantry positions and be fast, agile, and easy to deploy (low weight, low maintenance). It wasn't meant to absorb an enemy tank round, but rather dodge them with her speed and relative low profile.
Armor
Light weight galvanized/treated, powder-coated steel outer armor layer with a slanted honeycombed layer of aluminum alloy covering a slanted plate of light-weight titanium composite and a layer of coarse ceramics followed by a layer of aluminum alloy sandwiched in between two layers of galvanized steel. This acts to initially slow down the weapon and then spread its impact force over a wide area and thererfore, reducing its kinetic energy until it stops, usually before the last layer of armor, this armor can effectively stop any round below 85mm (special ammunition does not apply) and can slow down projectiles up to 105mm. Effects on 120mm rounds and above are minimal unless outfitted with NGERA system which can effectively neutralize most rounds.

ENGINE/TRANSMISSION/DRIVE SYSTEMS
800 hp SB-401 MHP/HT diesel engine with SB-ATPT-C2 turbocharger and SB-ATRS radiator system. The SB-TPEA system aides the main engine in using an electric high-revolution engine to allow unsurpassable acceleration then allowing an immediate crankshaft lock into the diesel engine to allow smooth transfer from each version of power.
SB-HET-IVT-2 Infinitely-Variable Transmission system
5-spoke SBTS-5B track layout with light weight 80 percent aluminum, 20 percent steel track links and slates.
ARMAMENT
Main gun: 95 mm ET (Electro-Thermal) Main Gun
95 mm SB-NTC Electro-Thermal Cannon :The projectile is loaded into the barrel, behind which there is a "propellant", which is a dot of light metal (solid or liquid). A powerful electromagnetic force is applied to the metal, which causes its atoms to "switch" directions. This happens so violently that the metal turns to plasma, and this expanding gas then drives the projectile forward. Since the cannon is built into a turret, it can rotate 360-degrees and can aim upwards 68 degrees and -14 degrees. Around the firing mechanism and the barrel is enclosed in the SB-AHAS Heat-absorbing and dissipating shroud which absorbs the heat and dissipates it over a wide area. This cannon can easily destroy an M1A2, T-90 (and all of its variants) and Merkava tanks at ranges out to 4 miles with diminishing effects thereafter (less effective, less damage).
Range: 6.7 miles. Effective range: 4.4 miles
Rounds stored: 18 on autoloader system, 16 on autoloader re-loader belt, and 26 stored rounds
The cannon is stabilised on double axis' and can fire on the move.
This cannon can use any round including disposable SABOT rounds, HE, DU tipped, splintering rounds (Anti-personnel), chaff rounds, anything.
Rate of Fire: 16 rounds per minute
-----------
Secondary: PKT 7.62mm cannon
12.7mm AA gun
AT Missile racks(1 on each side of turret), can fire barrel-launched ATGMs and has a modular turret design, meaning AA equipment, SAM equipment, ATGM equipment, INTEL equipment, etc. can be added very easily.
8 smoke grenade launchers, 3 on each side of turret, 2 in rear
--------------------------------
SYSTEMS
ALMRS/TTAC-04 Mk. III system: Tracks up to 78 enemies and ranks them according to range, heading, threat level, and tank-type to provide best possible firing solution. Also computes MOA and other variables and automatically sets turret and barrel to correct heading (when this feature is engaged) and can fire on up to two targets simultaneously (assuming ATGM's are on their respectable slides). Also tracks and targets enemy targets at up to 500 ft. altitude and up to 30 miles away.
SB-AFCS-S1 system: This advanced fire control system allows for the T-05A to engage moving targets while the T-05A is on the move. The barrel will always remain aimed at target while tank is in motion and will not waiver even over small hills, dips, bumps, and other obstructions. The barrel will always target enemy unit unless commander targets a new target or disengages system. The SB-AFCS-S1 system will continually track all targets and align barrel to fire on the target even if the target is on the move, the barrel will constantly update and move with the target while computing wind, weather, and MOA abilities for the best possible accuracy. The barrel will move on two different axis'. The commander's station is outfitted with nightvision capabilities, infrared capabilities, radar tracking capabilities (if an EW, radar aircraft, or radar station is near and able to send information), and advanced targetting systems. The commander's station is also outfitted with a periscope with nightvision, infrared capabilities, and a computerized screen to locate targets if they are obscured. Coupled with this system is the ALRS (Advanced Laser Range-finder System) which utilizes a laser rangefinder with a triple layer screen with crystals at different angles to scatter any enemy lasers that are attempting to disable the rangefinder. The rangefinder laser passes through a roughly 3mm hole in the screen.
SB-AMWRS-01- Millimetric wave radar
ARENA Mk. II: Scrambles enemy ATGM's radars and tracking systems. Also interferes with all ATGM tracking systems and/or other guided weapons' systems. Can also interfere with enemy tanks' tracking systems, including tracking, information distribution, infrared, and other systems.
Shtora-3 defense suite: Scrambles enemy laser rangefinder, making it nearly impossible for enemy tank to fire, unless they guess the range. Also scrambles enemy communications systems and tracking systems. Also interferes with enemy laser-based systems and laser-type weapons by using a controlled beam of ultraviolet rays to scatter the laser (communications systems, weapons systems, rangefinder systems).
*Note- The Shtora-3 system can be seen on the very top picture, directly above the cannon, well, at least the emitter portion.*
AEISCN-03: Shares target information with other friendly tanks in the field along with other information, also allows friendly tanks in large numbers to make coordinated attacks through out the battlefield. Also allows friendly tanks to instantly reorganize into new squadrons and divisions for new assaults and also relays all information back to command. This system also checks in every 2 minutes (or shorter; can be adjusted) with GPS and military satellites to update terrain and enemy movements [A total of 34 ARSB satellites aid this and can pinpoint location with an accuracy of 30 feet). Also takes updated information and relays it to the commander's screen which displays all friendly tanks, enemy tanks, standing orders, enemy formations, buildings, objects, and other environmental objects. Coupled with this system is the SB-LRRCS (Long-range Radio communications set) with a range of roughly 450 miles.
NBC System SB-CAP-1 - This NBC system protects against nuclear, biological, and chemical threats as well as seal of the internal areas of the tanks from the outer environment, relying on an SB-AIR-M air recycling and cleaning unit to provide breathable oxygen to the tank's crew.
Periscope systems- Twin periscopes (commander periscope mentioned before)- Gunner periscope is outfitted with infrared technology, night vision tech, and the AEISCN-01 system (which shows enemy units based on satellite and aircraft intelligence or intel from other friendly ground untis). Also, on both periscopes is an active recording/viewable video camera (that can record or display in infrared, low light, night vision or with computer-added symbols [arrows, boxes; to display locations of enemy units, friendly units, obstacles])
Enhanced survival functions- increased armor over engine compartment and radiator. Enhanced armor protecting fuel tank and battery area.
SB-AHDU which transfers engine exhaust into a special dissipator unit that fuses the exhaust and heat into cooled water from hydrogen cell and dissipates it out rear of unit and onto track assembly.
SB-ASFS - Advanced Snorkeling and Fording System- allows unit, at the touch of a button, to disengage head dissipator system (SB-AHDU), and to engage the flip-up snorkel system which allows the tank to ford up to 3 meters
Other
Survivability- Enhanced frame, strenghtened braces, low radar signature (due to absorbant materials coating outer layer of armor), low heat signature (Using SB-AHAS [see SB-NTC cannon]), low visual signature (low height, fairly narrow).
Enhanced survivability- Advanced Tread-Runner Protection Armor (Side skirts that cover the runners and other components of the track system)
Crew-friendly features- Engine based heater (for winter), Central air cooling system or underside-opening vents for fresh air, heated seats, defoggers, dehumidifier (to reduce moisture in air and reduce condensation inside turret
