Overview -
The Pz.Kpfw. M-100/MBT-100 is a Fourth-Generation Berusian Main Battle Tank (MBT) that entered service in 2006 which is currently in the service of the Berusian Bundeswehr.
It was designed and built by Accipitris Enterprises Defence Division (Now known as NirvashTec Systems & Armaments.)
Accipitris Enterprises started to develop a successor to their previous design, the MBT-90 as a contract for the Berusian Armed Forces in 1999.
In August 2000, a B$78 million deal for a complete demonstrator vehicle was made and finalised
In June 2005, the Berusian MoD placed a B$4 billion order for 1,675 vehicles, with a further 125 ordered in 2005.
Production began in 2001, and the first units ordered were delivered in September 2002.
It is expected to remain in service until the 2090s.
The MBT-100 is an extensive redesign of the MBT-90. Although hull and internal components are quite similar, they are of newer design and build than those of the MBT-90 and only 15% of components are interchangeable.
A VisRecog feature is the armoured housing for the Gerät 345i Thermal Gunsight. The MBT-100 has this above the gun barrel, while the MBT-90 did not have it mounted.
The tank's efficient drive system provides a range of 1340km, with a maximum road speed of 65km/h.
It is equipped with a 130-millimetre (5.1 in) 60-calibre long TG/HV-60F5 (ETC) Tank Gun, the successor to the TG/MV-55F1 previously used on the MBT-80 and MBT-90.
The TG/HV-60F5 is rifled as the Berusian Bundeswehr continues to utilize High-Explosive Squash Head (HESH) rounds alongside the usual APFSDS.
It is also armed with an M-240D5 7.62x51mm (Mounted next to main gun), an M60E5, M2HB and a 20mm "Ritter" RCWS.
It carries 60 Main armament rounds, 9,400 rounds of 7.62x51mm, 2,000 rounds of 12.7x99mm and 500 rounds of 20mm.
The MBT-100 has a four-man crew, the turret and hull are protected by fourth gen Sichern 5B composites.
It has seen service in Israel, Libya and Africa.
Protection -
The MBT-100 is one of the most heavily armoured and best protected tanks in the world.
The turret and hull are protected by fourth-generation of Sichern 5B armour, the details of which are classified but which is said to be more than four times as strong as steel.
Crew safety was paramount in the design, using a solid state electric drive for its turret and gun movement, thus removing the traditional risk of hydraulic rupture into the crew compartment.
Explosive reactive armour kits are also fitted as necessary along with additional bar armour.
The nuclear, biological and chemical (NBC) protection system is located in the turret bustle. The tank's shape is also designed with stealth technology to reduce radar signature.
On each side of the turret are Three S3 smoke grenade dischargers.
The tank features the Halberd active protection system (APS), which includes a millimeter-wavelength radar to detect, track, and intercept incoming anti-tank munitions, both kinetic energy penetrators and tandem-charges.
Currently, the maximum speed of the interceptable target is 3,402 m/s (Mach 10.0), with projected future increases of up to 5,104 m/s (Mach 15.0).
According to military sources, it protects the tank from all sides, however it is not geared towards shooting upwards to defend against top-attack munitions, however it has been said that the system will be modified to also defeat top-attack munitions.
These systems put the Zweihänder a generation ahead in terms of defensive technology.
Halberd hard-kill launchers are the long tubes mounted in groups on the turret's sides.
These send out an electronically activated charge that fires an Explosively Formed Penetrator towards the target (in all directions).
The tank is also equipped with the Valkyria K2 Upper Hemisphere Protection Complex, which consists of two steerable cartridges with 14 smaller charges each, and a turret-top VLS with two more similar cartridges, corresponding to the vehicle's soft kill APS.
Additionally, using the AESA radar and anti-aircraft machine gun it is possible to destroy incoming missiles and slow-flying shells (except kinetic energy penetrators).
