Tamaraw‑10RHTX‑Kagitingan –

United Maharlika Republic – 5th‑Generation Main Battle Tank

Size & Weight

Length: 11.8 meters

Width: 3.95 meters

Height: 3.5 meters

Weight: 70–72 tons (depending on armor modules)

Overview

The Tamaraw‑10RHTX‑Kagitingan is the most advanced and final evolution of the United Maharlika Republic’s 5th‑generation Tamaraw main battle tank series. Deployed during the Lisastani War and the closing days of World War III, it represents the peak of Maharlikan armored warfare technology, combining extreme protection, long‑range firepower, hybrid mobility, and advanced AI‑assisted combat systems.

Its doctrine is simple:
Survive. Adapt. Strike first.

Design Philosophy

The Kagitingan is engineered for full-spectrum warfare, capable of fighting in:

Desert (Mauritania, Sahara)

Snow and ice (Greenland operations)

Jungle regions

Urban rubble and collapsed infrastructure

Mountain environments

NBC-contaminated zones

Crew survivability is prioritized through:

Armored internal crew capsule

Overpressure NBC protection

EMP-hardened networking and electronics

Thermal-regulated cooling system

RHTX-StealthCoat

This makes the Kagitingan capable of fighting in both extreme climate and extreme threat environments.

Mobility – Hybrid Powertrain

Powered by a hybrid turbo-diesel electric system, providing:

Rapid acceleration

Reduced thermal signature

Stealth “near-silent mode” (short and long range)

Improved fuel efficiency

Terrain-adaptive hydropneumatic suspension

The tank moves effectively across:

Mud

Sand

Snow(in greenland operation)

Rocky slopes

Urban rubble

Broken asphalt

Tracks – Bantay‑Lupa Modular Track (BLMT)

High-end modular tracks with:

Steel + tungsten + polymer hybrid structure

Self-cleaning cleat mechanism

Automatic terrain-reactive tensioning

Reduced ground pressure

The BLMT allows the Kagitingan to traverse terrain that immobilizes lesser MBTs.

Protection Systems

Kalasag‑X Composite Armor (DTUG Architecture)

A multi-layer armor system composed of:

Diamond‑ceramic plates

Tungsten reinforcement mesh

Uranium‑steel composite core

Graphene shock‑absorption structure

This provides exceptional resistance to:

Modern APFSDS darts
Tandem HEAT warheads
Thermobaric shock
Top‑attack threats
Kinetic sabot penetrators

Kalasag APS‑III (Active Protection System)

A 360° defensive dome capable of intercepting:

ATGMs

RPGs

FPV drones

Loitering munitions

Top-attack glide bombs

Artillery submunitions

This system makes the Kagitingan one of the hardest tanks to destroy on the battlefield.

Firepower

Main Gun – RHTX‑140 (140mm Smoothbore)

A high-pressure smoothbore cannon with bustle autoloader.

Ammunition Types

Bituin DU‑SABOT (APFSDS)

APFSDS‑X Diamond Tip

Hellstorm HEAT‑V

Ala‑Burst Airburst (anti-drone/anti-infantry)

KLAW‑T Guided Top‑Attack
EMP‑140 sabot (anti-electronic)
Bitik-140 GLR
Molten Mamba Thermobaric

RHTX -155M(SMOOTHEBORE)
Bituin-H Hyper-SABOT
Mantis-7 tungsten long-rod
Bitik-150 GLR(same as 140 but different looks)
Ala-Burst-155 Fused Airburst
KLAW-155 Top-Attack smart glide
LRX-G battlefield network shell
EMP-155 sabot
Mamba-155 thermobaric(only used to strike some heavy guarded bunker)
Breaker-155 HE-EFP wall-breach

This weapon system gives the Kagitingan dominance at medium to long range.

Secondary Weapons

Coaxial .50 cal heavy machine gun

Liyab‑40 HCAS 40mm Autocannon

With helmet-linked head‑tracking, allowing the commander to aim by simply looking at the target

Kidlat‑LX “Sumpak” Loitering ATGM‑Drone System

A major upgrade that replaces traditional ATGM tubes.

The Sumpak system launches small, armored loitering drones directly from a turret-integrated vertical cell.

Capabilities

Vertical takeoff
Loiter range: 25+ km
Loiter time: 30–40 minutes
Warhead: top‑attack anti-armor charge
AI-assisted flight and terminal homing
Target detection from above
Battlefield overwatch role
Coordinated strikes with the tank’s Ala‑10 AI

Role in Combat

Destroys enemy tanks hiding behind hills or buildings

Strikes from the top at the weakest armor point

Provides the Kagitingan with beyond-line-of-sight kill capability

Allows the tank to remain hidden while still attacking

The Sumpak system gives the Kagitingan lethality far beyond a normal MBT.

Fire Control – Bantay‑Hari Mk.V

A next-generation multi-sensor fire control suite featuring:

Thermal + radar + LIDAR fusion

AI-assisted automatic target tracking

Smart ballistic prediction

Link with Kalasag APS

BattleGrid‑X network warfare integration

Direct control and guidance for Sumpak drones

The tank can lock, track, and fire before enemies detect it.

Electronics & AI

Ala‑10 AI Combat Assistant

Manages:

Target detection

Threat prediction

APS reaction timing

Damage analysis

Drone deployment and control

Network coordination with nearby UMR units

The tank can operate semi‑autonomously if the crew is overwhelmed.

Battlefield Role

The Tamaraw‑10RHTX‑Kagitingan serves as the UMR’s elite breakthrough and long‑range hunter MBT, capable of:

Engaging enemy armor at extreme distances

Penetrating fortified urban areas

Surviving high-density missile and drone environments

Coordinating drone swarms

Acting as a mobile command and sensor node

It is recognized in Maharlikan doctrine as:

“The Republic’s indestructible spear and shield.”
