[Description]

KABT-1, stands for "Kosvland Advanced Battle Tank", a Main Battle Tank that designed for the future warfare, most likely for the war against extraterrestrial invasion.
However, most likely it won't be mass produced. Unless there are emergency situations, or else it will stay as a experimental tank to demonstrate future technology.

I nick named it "Low budget Minotaur", since it is based on the Minotaur MBT from war thunder April Fool events- warfare 2077

[Design]

Overall, the internal equipments are highly automated. This results that it only needs 2 crews, or even only 1 crew to operate this tank; although having 2 crews can maximise the crew effectiveness. And because of that, KABT-1 also features a unmanned turret, controlled by a gunner sitting in the front of the tank.

Firepower

It equipped with a 125mm ETC Smoothbore gun. ETC stands for Electrothermal-chemical, which is a technology to increase the Accuracy and Muzzle Velocity of the gun.
It uses Carousel Autoloader under the turret, and just like the previous T-104 series, with only 3 seconds of reload. However this speed of reloading maybe only practical when it faces a large amount of armoured vehicles, or large amount of enemies.
It was planned to put a railgun on it, however as it needs larger space, the railgun plane was cancelled and replaced with ETC gun instead.

The secondary armament is the 30mm autocannon, nothing special.

Protection

About the armour, just like most MBT, putting the most heavily protected part at the front. However the actual thickness and its effectiveness against different weapons is unknown.
Same story as the side skirts, although it looks thinn, but it's obviously it made by a unknown material. However, the actual side and rear armor is only 80mm thick, so a accurate side shot without hitting the skirts or other things will most likely disarm the tank, or detonate the ammunition under the turret in one shot.
About the crew protection, the crew compartment is separated from the ammunition storage by a layer of armor. So even if the ammunition got blown up along with the turret, the crew could still survive, or even drive the tank away, since the engine is also protected.
Another feature is it have Signature Reducing Material, those materials can be seen as they appear as a hexagon on the side of the skirt armor and turret.

Mobility

It have Gas Turbine Engine installed, featuring reverse gearbox, able to go as fast as you going forward when you're going backwards.
The most important thing is it have Hydropneumatic Suspension to adjust the ground clearance or more complex suspension positions. This tank also have bad gun depression, but with Hydropneumatic Suspension, this isn't a big problem.
