It is one of the rapid deployment prototype tanks.  If I remember
correctly it has
a 75mm autoloading main gun.  Good for older medium tanks, APC's, IFV's
and other
lightly armored vehicles.  I wouldn't want to use one against T-80 or M1
or other
modern tank.  An interesting vehicle that was not accepted.  There was a
varient
with a traditional turret (can't extend up) and 90mm gun.  I forgot
about it in my
earlier post.
