T-90U/T-100
Length: 9.8 m.
Width: 3.9 m.
Height: 2.3 m.
Weight: 60 tons.
Power Plant: 1,275hp diesel engine.
Primary Armament: 125mm ETC cannon
Secondary Armament: PKT, 2x2A38M 30mm cannons, 1x multipurpose missile launcher[4 rounds: 9M123 or 9M123F[thermobaric], 1 pintle mounted NSV
The T-100 tank is a SRChP modernization to the Russian T-90M tank intended to increase it's service length and combat effectiveness. The tank now is armed with a 125mm ETC cannon in a new elongated turret, which contains blast containers for spare ammunition. Along with this, the T-100 has a pair of 2A38M 30mm cannons mounted in the sides of the new turret, which can be controlled by either the gunner or commander. This is loosely based on the Slovak T-72M1 "Moderna" system, which grants the tank to ability to engage low flying aircraft and helicopters, along with targets in positions higher then the main guns maximum elevation. Due to the addition of the 9M123 launcher, there is a small, specially designed RADAR on the back of the turret which allows the tank commander independent control over the missiles.
The T-100 uses the 'FireStarter' FCS, which improves the ballistic calculator and target acquisition compared to the T-90 tank. Combined with the battlefield data sharing function, attacks can be easily coordinated and shared with friendly forces.
The tank is constructed of a 5th generation composite, reinforced with boron-carbide. The forward-facing areas of the tank contain depleted Uranium meshing, increasing protection from enemy fire further.
From data concluded in various world conflicts, the base armor alone is often not enough to protect the tank. The Chechen wars showed the use of ERA to be extremely effective against single warhead HEAT rounds, keeping in mind that most armies have begun using tandem charge munitions. In order to combat this, the T-100 is covered in NERA tiles over much of the tank, which is then covered by another layer of Relikt Explosive Reactive Armor. The side skirts contain smaller Kontakt-5 bricks, along with the roof of the tank attaching to the NERA tiles. It employs the Shtora-1 and ARENA APS systems in addition to these other devices.
