A New Main Battle Tank, designed and produced within the NAS, has entered service, replacing the Leopard II.
The 'Panther' 2A2 combines technology from several tank designs with the brute force exhibited by many products of Germanic engineering.

Though initial testing proved very successful, minor 'bugs' are expected to crop up during field use.
The NAS is willing to produce the tank for other nations, though refuses to allow production outside of it's borders.

OOC: Please be merciful in criticism. Firstly, apologies for the general look of the thing, as I'm no expert in 3D design, and for the lines all over the tank (Program is a bit dodgy, and refuses to Render anything I make). Sadly, couldn't think of much fluff, either.
