Description

The T-102 Kazak is a Restevian post-war Main Battle Tank built taking advantage of both lessons learned during the war as well as some emerging technologies previously considered too immature to integrate onto the heavier T-100 Ogre. Its two-shot hyperburst gun with a notoriously long barrel allows it to punch through the advanced composite arrays that saw widespread use during the war in tank armor without requiring the use of a fusion powerplant. For protection it uses an array of multiple explosively-formed penetrator (MEFP) modules that can either be propelled off the tank to detonate in midair as ADS or remain attached to the vehicle and use as ERA; this is similar to the active protection array of the CCZ-03 tank, although the Kazak employs fewer yet more powerful modules that let it intercept heavier rounds. It uses an aluminothermic turboshaft engine for power, giving it relatively low range in exchange for a much reduced thermal, radioactive and neutrino signature.

Among the export customers of the export-oriented T-102K is the MGDF. The MGDF fields the vehicle as their main battle tank, unlike the Restevian Ground Forces were it complements postwar upgrades of the T-100. An unique version of the vehicle employed by the Mais is the BMT-102, which stretches the chassis to add space for a squad of mechanized infantry.
