Main Description

The MK.VI MTD (Acronym for Modern Tank Destroyer) H3-MK.1 is a experimental tank destroyer derived from the H3-J2 Swallow chassis. It is designed to destroy tanks with a large caliber cannon, but only a few prototypes were made and was cancelled due to the uprising of missile tanks and the concept of large caliber cannons used for anti tank being considered obsolete as time went on.

History

Due to the fear of the Soviets having prepared for a cold war throughout after the Korean War, the Poland Army set up a defense plan that involved anti tank equipment against Soviet armor at the time, Polish Industries proposed the Mk.VI MTD H3-MK.1, a tank with a 152mm cannon, being able to penetrate most Soviet tanks at the time, the design stage moved on to prototype and production stage, however it was later dropped and called after it was considered obsolete due to rising of missiles, which were more cost-effective and did not have to large anti tank cannon calibers in order to achieve such a task, and so the prototypes of the Mk.VI MTD H3-MK.1 were now abandoned or scrapped, only 1 unit made it, and that was unit number "67", the second prototype. It was found in an abandoned tank manufacturing facility that closed in the 2000s, it was later restored to running condition by a tank museum and is still being active in modern times on tank shows.

The Mk.VI MTD H3-MK.1 is considered and regarded to be very similar to the FV-4005 because they performed similar roles and had the same concept, they also have similar turret shapes and hull designs.
