Info

The HST-A3 is an upgraded version of the original HST-150, developed in the 1990s to enhance its combat effectiveness in response to evolving battlefield threats. This third major upgrade introduces several key features:

1. Explosive Reactive Armor (ERA): The HST-A3 is fitted with ERA on its front upper plate, lower glacis plate, and turret cheeks, similar to the design found on Russian T-90 tanks. This ERA provides additional protection against shaped charges and tandem warheads, significantly improving the tank's survivability against modern anti-tank weapons.

2. New Ammunition - APFSDS Rounds: The main 150mm gun has been adapted to fire Armor-Piercing Fin-Stabilized Discarding Sabot (APFSDS) rounds. These rounds are designed to penetrate advanced composite and reactive armors, making the HST-A3 more effective against heavily armored targets on the modern battlefield.

3. Continued Role as a Heavy Support Tank: Despite the upgrades, the HST-A3 retains its original role as a heavy support tank. It is designed to lead assaults and breach enemy defenses, paving the way for other armored units and infantry. Its heavily armored design and powerful armament ensure it remains a key asset in spearheading offensive operations.

The HST-A3 represents a significant modernization of the HST series, allowing it to remain competitive and relevant in the face of new threats and technologies in armored warfare.
