Full specifications

Performance

Speed, range, altitude and engagement capability.

Performance specifications
Max speed Maximum level speed. For aircraft this is at optimal altitude; for ground vehicles, top road speed. Higher means faster response and better kinematic performance.	100 km/h Stronger than 64% of IFVs
Range Maximum distance: ferry range for aircraft, operational range for vehicles, maximum engagement distance for missiles. Higher means more standoff or persistence.	800 km Stronger than 89% of IFVs

Protection

Armor, countermeasures and survivability.

Protection specifications
Armor Armor technology: composite, modular, ERA-fitted, uranium-ceramic. Exact compositions are classified.	Ballistic + mine protection

Physical

Dimensions, weight and crew.

Physical specifications
Length Overall length including gun/probe where applicable.	6 m
Width Overall width, matters for rail/road transport of vehicles.	2.5 m
Height Overall height. Lower profile is harder to spot and hit for ground vehicles.	2.6 m
Combat weight Fully loaded weight. Lighter eases transport and bridging limits; heavier often means more armor.	16,000 kg
Crew Personnel required to operate. Fewer reduces exposure; autoloaders trade a loader for mechanical complexity.	2
Troop capacity Number of embarked troops/passengers (IFV, APC, transport). Higher carries more.	8 Stronger than 56% of IFVs

Propulsion

Engine, power and fuel.

Propulsion specifications
Engine Powerplant model and type.	Cummins ISB6.7 360, turbocharged intercooled diesel
Engine power Engine output power. Higher moves more weight faster.	360 hp Stronger than 32% of IFVs
Propulsion type Turbofan, turboshaft, diesel, gas turbine, solid-fuel rocket, ramjet…	Diesel
