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.	70 km/h Stronger than 75% of main battle tanks
Range Maximum distance: ferry range for aircraft, operational range for vehicles, maximum engagement distance for missiles. Higher means more standoff or persistence.	450 km Stronger than 31% of main battle tanks
Power-to-weight Engine power per tonne of vehicle weight. Higher means better acceleration and cross-country mobility.	26 hp/t Stronger than 89% of main battle tanks

Firepower

Armament, payload and guidance.

Firepower specifications
Main armament Primary weapon: main gun, cannon or missile type.	105 mm CMI Cockerill 3105 gun
Caliber Bore diameter of the main gun or rifle. Larger throws heavier projectiles; not simply better, ammunition commonality matters.	105 mm
Ammunition Rounds carried (main gun) or standard magazine capacity.	41 Stronger than 57% of main battle tanks

Protection

Armor, countermeasures and survivability.

Protection specifications
Armor Armor technology: composite, modular, ERA-fitted, uranium-ceramic. Exact compositions are classified.	Modular composite armor, STANAG level III–IV
NBC protection Sealed crew compartment with overpressure filtration for nuclear/biological/chemical environments.	Yes

Physical

Dimensions, weight and crew.

Physical specifications
Length Overall length including gun/probe where applicable.	7.32 m
Combat weight Fully loaded weight. Lighter eases transport and bridging limits; heavier often means more armor.	32,000 kg
Crew Personnel required to operate. Fewer reduces exposure; autoloaders trade a loader for mechanical complexity.	3

Propulsion

Engine, power and fuel.

Propulsion specifications
Engine Powerplant model and type.	MTU 8V199 TE20 diesel
Engine power Engine output power. Higher moves more weight faster.	720 hp Bottom 9% of main battle tanks
Propulsion type Turbofan, turboshaft, diesel, gas turbine, solid-fuel rocket, ramjet…	Diesel (tracked)

Program

Cost, production scale and operators.

Program specifications
Units built Total production run. Higher means proven manufacturing, mature logistics and spares availability.	18 Stronger than 13% of main battle tanks
Operator countries Number of countries operating the system. More operators means broader support ecosystem.	1 Stronger than 24% of main battle tanks
