After II The Tamaraw-5 RHTX-III is the United Maharlika Republic’s 5th-generation main battle tank — an evolutionary upgrade of the RHTX-II optimized for high-intensity, networked warfare. It mounts a 140 mm rail-assist hypersonic smoothbore, protected by modular diamond-tungsten composite armor and the Kalasag-FPS-4 active-protection suite. The MIFCS-III fire-control system fuses AESA radar, LIDAR, IR and EO sensors with AI-assisted ballistics and a drone uplink for near-instant target solutions. A hybrid turbine-electric drive provides high speed, silent-running modes, and reduced IR signature. Fielded during the Lisastani War, the RHTX-III serves as the UMR’s spearhead tank—durable, lethal at range, and built to operate as a node in MaharlikaNet.
