topol-m Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Development of the TK-X began in early 2000s and was first publicly revealed in 2008. TK-X tank is armed with a 120-mm smoothbore gun, developed by Japan Steel Works which also license-produces the Rheinmetall 120-mm / L44 gun for the Type 90 MBT. It uses automatic loading system. A new armor-piercing ammunition has been developed for TK-X. The gun is compatible with all standard 120-mm NATO ammunition. The tank is designed with increased protection against RPG rounds, it has a sloped modular ceramic composite armor similar to the Leopard 2A5. Side profile is similar to the Leclerc. Damaged armor modules can be easily replaced in field conditions. Add-on armor can also be removed to reduce combat weight to 40 tonnes for ease of transportation. TK-X has NBC protection and automatic fire suppression systems. It's smoke grenade launchers are coupled to laser warning receivers. TK-X is using digital battlefield management system and navigation system for rapid coordination and increased situational awareness. Powered by an 1 200 hp diesel engine. The TK-X main battle tank is fitted with a state-of-the-art semi-active hydropneumatic suspension. The tank can "sit", "stand", "kneel" or to "lean" in any direction. Video: 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Vekkinho Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Looks promising, if I looked at the pictures without knowing it's a TK-X I'd say it's a Leo-III! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
joey45 Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Didn't know you spelt Defence with an S. But it can drift.. all it needs now is a body kit. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Pilotasso Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 It looks super evil. But makes me wonder its uselfulness in islands. .
zakobi Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 did he mention anti-guerrilla warfare with it?

RedTiger Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 It looks super evil. But makes me wonder its uselfulness in islands. Tanks are a very capable and useful part of a defensive ground position, seeing as how it is the JDF and part of that would be defending the islands from an amphibious invasion. Rommel thought they'd be useful in coastal defense. :dunno: Ceteris paribus, of course. :D
