“...Furthermore, the improvements offered by the 2M2 variant of the Anbessa Main Battle Tank, developed under project “APEX”, are such that the vehicle itself exists as an entirely new vehicle, comparable to even the coloquial “5th generation of modern armour. Such that when compared with the model originally trialled, it exhibits exploitable characteristics in extreme quantity and quality.”

The Anbessa 2M2 is the production variant of the Anbessa 2 prototype. The Anbessa was a proof of concept, procured in small number and given to elite, front line and testing regiments. It allowed Bishoftu to test and refine and improve. It was never destined for service or for export. It was to allow the company and their partners to field test their next generation of systems; and to win over the Winolian Army. Through these tests several issues were identified and remediated in a short space of time, allowing the tank to be fielded in a timely manner, before the army lost interest.

As a result the Anbessa 2M2 Apex has a number of Interesting features. It’s the first Winolian tank to make use of an “AI” 4th crew member. It mounts a unique gun and a suite of domestically developed sensors, making it the first Winolian ground vehicle to be full TAKTIX-3 equipped. It also makes use of sensor fusion to improve the crew’s situational awareness when operating with hatches down.

It uses a unique armour package which provides it with excellent protection and makes use of ERA when needed rather than all the time. Based on reactions from Winolian Tankers, it’s APS was reworked with improvements in both sensors and hardkill launchers. Its modularity makes it mission specific and gives planners and commanders more flexibility. Its modularity even spawned a new naming designation systems; SEK and LEK (Survival enhancement kit and Lethality enhancement kit).
