The Säbelzahn MBT is a prototype German MBT design for production by 2025, designed specifically for modern asymmetrical ground combat. It weighs in at 62 metric tons, and has a 1500 horsepower engine. It mounts a Rheinmetall L/55 120mm tank gun capable of defeating almost all armored targets as well as fixed structures and infantry. The base armor is Chobham armor, optimized for the HEAT warheads in most IEDs and handheld anti-tank missiles. The entire interior is NBC protected.

The turret has a built in layer of spaced armor that offers further protection from HEAT warheads. Above this is an extra layer of steel-reinforced Chobham armor that warps kinetic projectiles. It also defeats the first warhead and activates the second warhead of tandem missiles, meaning the second, larger HEAT stream will have to defeat the spaced armor behind. Behind the spaced armor is a much thicker layer of Chobham armor. On the roof are further ERA plates, that protect from high-trajectory missiles or missiles launched from above.

The entire tank is protected by the "Schild" Active Protection System. Five radar sensors - two in front, two at the sides and one at the rear - detect any incoming projectiles that may pose a threat. The computer analyzes and calculates the path of these projectiles; and once they enter range, one of two mini-shotgun turrets mounted on the miniturret fire at and destroy the projectle before it reaches the tank.

Placed on the turret bustle, the miniturret mounts two 25mm autocannons, primarily for defeating infantry and low-armored threats, as well as doubling as an AA gun. With -10/60 elevation, it can engage targets at a range of heights, such as from building windows.
