Metropolitanian is proud to introduce its first completely self-designed and -constructed AFV, the Ambush and assault tank Aat. I.

With its powerful smoothbore automatic 127 mm. Tg. 04 L/75, fireing HE (high-explosive), APHE (armour-piercing, high-explosive) and APCBCDS (armour-piercing, capped, balistic cap, discarding sabot), fin-stabilised ammunition, it is at the cutting edge of weapon technology. It has very well-sloped armour, owing much of its design to the Swedish Stridsvagn.

It is very fast, while still being quiet, and have a low profile, making it perfect for ambushes and infantry support.

The remote-controlled twin 50.8 mm. Aag./Aig. 04 L/50 is fully-automatic, firing HE and HAAPHE (high-altitude, armour-piercing, high-explosive) ammunition, it is a very effective weapon againt both aircrafts and infantry, and combined with its two 12.7 mm. machine guns, it has exellent close-defense.

Through a number of well-placed and very durable cameras, linked to the helmet of all four crewmembers, the armour is practically invisible from the inside, giving a good overview of the battlefield.
