Main Battle Tanks (MBT)

ARIETE MAIN BATTLE TANK $3,020,000
http://www.army-technology.com/projects/ariete/index.html
The Ariete can engage stationary and moving targets by day and by night, while the tank itself is stationary or on-the-move. The main gun is a 44 caliber 120mm auto-frettaged smoothbore gun manufactured by Oto Melara. The gun is fitted with a thermal sleeve, a fume extraction system and a muzzle reference system. The gun is stabilized in two axes by hydraulic servoes and can fire all available types of ammunition including APFSDS (amour-piercing fin-stabilized discarding sabot) and HEAT (high explosive anti-tank) rounds. The tank carries 42 rounds of 120mm ammunition, the turret bustle accommodating 15 rounds of ammunition and 27 rounds being stored in the hull. WOW.

CHALLENGER 2 MAIN BATTLE TANK $4,900,000
http://www.army-technology.com/projects/challenger2/index.html
Challenger 2 is equipped with an L30, 120mm rifled tank gun from BAE Systems RO Defense. In January 2004, RO Defense was awarded a contract to develop a new smoothbore 120mm gun for the British Army Challenger tanks. A technical demonstrator will be produced by 2006. This is the best weapons system out there right now. The turret is protected with second generation Chobham amour. A nuclear, biological and chemical (NBC) protection system is located in the turret bustle. On each side of the turret are five L8 smoke grenade dischargers, from Helio Mirror Company. Challenger 2 can also set a smoke screen by the injection of diesel fuel into the engine exhausts. Which is enough to protect from other tanks and a number of anit-tank weapons.

LEOPARD 2 MAIN BATTLE TANK $4,000,000
http://www.army-technology.com/projects/leopard/index.html
The commander's station has an independent periscope, a PERI-R 17 A2 from Rheinmetall Defence Electronics (formerly STN Atlas Elektronik) and Zeiss Optronik GmbH. The PERI-R 17 A2 is a stabilized panoramic periscope sight for day/night observation and target identification, and it provides an all round view with a traverse of 360°. The thermal image from the commander's periscope is displayed on a monitor. The PERI-R17 A2 can also be used for weapon firing as it is slaved into the tank's fire control system. The image from the gunner's thermal sight can also be transmitted to the commander's PERI-R17 periscope so the commander can switch the gunner's video image to the commander's monitor. This enables the commander and the gunner to have access to the same field of view of the combat range. That has to be the best system I have ever heard of.

T-90S MAIN BATTLE TANK $2,800,000
http://www.army-technology.com/projects/t90/index.html
The T-90S' main armament is a 125mm 2A46M smoothbore gun which can fire a wide variety of ammunition, including APDS, HEAT, HE-FRAG, and shrapnel projectiles with time fuses. The T-90 tank is protected by both conventional amour-plating and explosive reactive armor (ERA). It is fitted with a defensive aids system which includes infrared jammer, laser warning system with four laser warning receivers, grenade discharging system which produces an aerosol screen, and a computerized control system. It is also fitted with NBC protection equipment.

SABRA MAIN BATTLE TANK $3,400,000
http://www.army-technology.com/projects/sabra/index.html
This is one good tank. It has... a 120mm smooth bore gun which is similar to the gun developed by Israel Military Industries (formerly TAAS) for the Merkava Mark 3 main battle tank. The gun is fitted with a fume extractor and a thermal sleeve for reduction of wear and to maximize the first round hit probability by reducing thermally induced distortion of the barrel. Stowage is provided for 42 rounds of ammunition. The gun has greater range and amour penetrating capability than the 105mm gun installed on the M60 MBT. The gun is capable of firing NATO standard 120mm smooth bore ammunition including Amour Piercing Fin-Stabilised Discarding Sabot (APFSDS) rounds. Do I need to say more?

M1A1 / M1A2 ABRAMS MAIN BATTLE TANK $4,500,000
http://www.army-technology.com/projects/abrams/index.html
The M1A1/M1A2 are both technology advanced tanks with great defense and attack systems. With its steel encased depleted uranium amour this tank can take a beating and keep on moving. The main armament is the 120mm M256 smoothbore gun.

MERKAVA 4 MAIN BATTLE TANK $3,050,000
http://www.army-technology.com/projects/merkava4/index.html
The Merkava 4 Main Battle Tank includes one of the most advanced fire control systems available. This firing system has advanced features including the capability to acquire and lock onto moving targets, even airborne helicopters, while the tank itself is on the move. The Merkava 4 tanks carry armor which protects against a range of threats, including air launched precision guided missiles and advanced and top attack anti-tank weapons. The underside of the hull has been fitted with additional armor protection against mines, and the interior of the tank has protection systems against contamination by NBC warfare.

Armoured Fighting Vehicles

AMX 10RC WHEELED ARMOURED RECONNAISANCE VEHICLE $2,100,000
http://www.army-technology.com/projects/amx/index.html
The AMX 10RC is a medium weight reconnaissance vehicle armed with a 105mm cannon. There are two turret configurations for the AMX 10RC: the TK 105 turret with light 105mm gun or the TML 105 turret with 105mm NATO standard gun, both manufactured by Giat Industries. The TK 105 and TML 105 turrets use a mantlet sight, which is firmly linked to the movements of the gun for firing accuracy. The TML 105 turret has a conveyor for storing and loading ammunition rounds. The Giat Industries APFSDS (armour-piercing, fin-stabilised, discarding sabot) 105 F1 round, fired by the TML 105 gun, can destroy single and triple NATO heavy tanks at a distance of 2,200m. The hit probability is stated as higher than 90% at 2,000m. The close defence of the AMX 10RC is provided by a coaxial 7.62mm machine gun.

BMP-3 TRACKED INFANTRY COMBAT VEHICLE $2,000,000
http://www.army-technology.com/projects/bmp-3/index.html
The main armament of the BMP-3 is a 100mm 2A70 semi-automatic rifled gun/missile launcher, which is stabilised in two axes and can fire either 3UOF HE-FRAG (High Explosive-Fragmentation) rounds or 3UBK10 anti-tank guided missiles. Effective range for the HE-FRAG round is 4,000m. Muzzle velocity is 250m/s. 22 HE-FRAG rounds can be carried in the automatic loader, total ammunition load being 40 rounds. Rate of fire is 10 rounds per minute. The BMP-3 can be fitted with the Arena Defensive Aids suite, developed by KBM Kolumna. The system consists of target detection and tracking radar, computer and processing unit and protective ammunition. The system is automatic: the radar passes tracking data to the computer, which selects the number of ammunition rounds and controls firing. The selected ammunition is then expelled as a directed field. The vehicle can also be fitted with the Shtora defensive aids system which counters anti-tank guided weapons with SACLOS (semi-automatic command-to-line-of-sight).

BRADLEY M2 / M3 TRACKED ARMOURED FIGHTING VEHICLES $2,350,000
http://www.army-technology.com/projects/bradley/index.html
The main armament is a ATK Ammunition Systems (formerly Boeing Ordnance) 25mm M242 Bushmaster chain gun. The M242 has a single barrel with an integrated dual feed mechanism and remote feed selection. The gunner can select single or multiple shot mode. The standard rate of fire is 200 rounds/minute but the gun is optionally converted to 500 rounds/minute. An M240C 7.62mm machine gun is mounted coaxially to right of the Bushmaster. The M2 Bradley is equipped with the Raytheon TOW BGM-71 anti-tank missile system. The twin-tube TOW launcher is mounted on the left of the turret. The target is tracked using an optical sight, which detects the infrared signal from the back of the missile in flight. A double-wire command link between the missile and the gunner is dispensed from two spools at the back of the missile. The launcher sends flight correction data to the guidance system on the missile via the command link. The range of the TOW missile is 3.75km.

BTR-80 WHEELED ARMOURED PERSONNEL CARRIERS[1,300,000
http://www.army-technology.com/projects/btr80/index.html
BTR-80 has a BPU-1 turret machine gun mount, which houses 14.5mm KPTV and 7.62mm PKT coaxial machine guns. The 14mm gun has a full 360° traverse with an elevation of 60° for improved effectiveness in air defence. The range of this gun is 2km. The range of the 7.62mm gun is 1.5km. Ammunition load for the KPVT machine gun is 500 rounds, with 2,000 rounds for the PKT machine gun. There are six smoke grenade dischargers, three fitted either side of the main gun. The vehicle is powered by a 7,403 four-stroke, eight cylinder liquid cooled diesel engine, which provides 260hp. It is capable of a maximum speed of 80km/h on paved road and 9km/h when afloat. Fuel endurance range is 600km on roads.

CENTAURO WHEELED TANK DESTROYER $2,400,000
http://www.army-technology.com/projects/centauro/index.html
The Centauro has an all-welded steel armour hull, which provides protection against 12.7mm ammunition and shell fragments. Enhanced armour protection over the frontal arc provides protection against 20mm ammunition. A nuclear, chemical and biological (NBC) warfare protection system is integrated into the vehicles' air conditioning system. A laser warning receiver can be installed on the vehicle. The Iveco 6V turbo-charged, after-cooled diesel engine is rated at 382kW (1,865Nm). The automatic transmission system designed by ZF, and manufactured under license by Iveco Fiat, has five forward and two reverse gears. There are eight wheels each with independent suspension and disk type brakes. The steering is on the first, second and fourth axle. The tyres are 14.00 - 20, run flat tyres fitted with Central Tyre Inflation System (CTIS). All variants of the vehicle provide top speeds in excess of 100km/h. The vehicles can negotiate gradients up to 60%, fording depth of 1.5m without preparation, and have a turning radius of 9m.

DARDO HITFIST TRACKED INFANTRY FIGHTING VEHICLE $2,300,000
http://www.army-technology.com/projects/dardo/index.html
The Dardo's main weapon is the 25mm Oerlikon KBA automatic stabilised cannon which has a rate of fire of 600 rounds/minute. 200 rounds of ammunition are carried in the turret ready to fire. Two 7.62mm machine guns are installed on the turret, one co-axial with the main gun. Two TOW anti-tank guided weapon launchers are installed, one on each side of the turret. The TOW missile, supplied by Raytheon Missile Systems Company, is a wire-guided, optically tracked missile with a maximum range of 3.75km. The fire control for the TOW missiles is integrated into the vehicle's fire control system. The hull is of all welded aluminium alloy with add on steel armour plates for increased protection. The vehicle has a very low profile, with height of 2.64m to the top of the turret, which decreases the radar and visual signature of the vehicle for enhanced survivability. Smoke grenade launchers, with four 80mm barrels per side, are installed on the front of the turret on either side of the main gun in the forward pointing direction. The crew compartment has five rifle ports, two on each side plus one in the rear ramp, for close defence.

VIKING (BVS10) AMPHIBIOUS ARMOURED ALL-TERRAIN VEHICLE $1,600,000
http://www.army-technology.com/projects/viking/index.html
The fully laden weight is 10t but the Viking maintains good mobility on soft terrain such as snow, mud or sand because the ground pressure is minimised by the even load distribution over the four tracks. The tracks are 620mm wide moulded rubber with chord. The mean maximum ground pressure is about the same as that of the Bv206 vehicle, which is 4t lighter. The vehicle retains mobility even if a track is damaged by a mine. The ground clearance of the Viking has been greatly increased over that of the Bv206 family of vehicles, to enhance the cross-country capabilities. The turning circle is 14m diameter. The Viking can ford through water up to a depth of 1.5m without preparation. The vehicle is fully amphibious, being able to swim in deeper water with less than two minutes preparation including closing holes and fitting a front vane to prevent a bow wave washing over the front windows. The water speed is 5km/h. The vehicle can be deployed from all Royal Marines landing craft and transported to the area of operations by C-130 Hercules and C-17 Globemaster. The unladen Viking can be underslung and airlifted by an RAF Chinook helicopter. The Viking can be split into two sections in just 20 minutes to be carried by the Merlin helicopter. The Viking's speed on flat terrain is comparable to that of a modern infantry fighting vehicle. The speed requirement specifications of 50km/h on level class A roads, 35km/h on tracks and 15km/h cross country have been exceeded in vehicle trials: for example, the Viking achieved road speeds of over 80km/h. The range on metalled roads is 300km.

WARRIOR TRACKED ARMOURED VEHICLES $3,000,000
http://www.army-technology.com/projects/warrior/index.html
Smoke grenade launchers are mounted on either side of the turret. In United Nations operations in Bosnia the high level of protection of the crew against small arms, missiles and anti-tank mines was proven. The aluminium armour construction provides protection against 14.5mm armour piercing rounds, 155mm air burst shell fragments and 9kg anti-tank mines. Enhanced protection against other threats can be provided with applique armour. The Warrior has four speed fully automatic transmission and hydrostatic drive steering. The Perkins Rolls-Royce V8 Condor engine produces 550bhp giving road speeds of 75km/h. The suspension provides high speed crossing across rough terrain at speeds faster than most main battle tanks. The vehicle is fitted with TR30 single pin tracks from William Cook Defence. All major systems including the power pack can be removed and replaced in less than one hour by two men.

DU = Depleted uranium.
Depleted = no longer radioactive

DU is used as a replacement to Steel, as it is almost 2.5x's stronger.
