Performance

Speed, range, altitude and engagement capability.

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.

110 km/h
Top 7% 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 86% of IFVs

Firepower

Main armament

Primary weapon: main gun, cannon or missile type.

40 mm CTC (CTAS) automatic cannon
Secondary armament

Additional weapons: coaxial MG, remote weapon station, gun pods.

7.62 mm machine gun
Caliber
