Intro

Upgraded variant, Upgraded variant!!!!

Description

After years of faithful service, the Anbessa is finally getting the makeover it deserves. With Winolia fully capable of developing its own 4th generation armour, electronics and weapon systems, the Anbessa 1M2 is a truly domestic tank. Most of the technology incorporated into the turret is brand new with some of it being considered ahead of its time. Expeditionary divisions will be the first to exploit and assess its capabilities in the field with a number being deployed to support their allies. Development is being overseen by Bishoftu Land Systems.
