The M252 Stallion Fire Support Vehicle is a Paternian infantry fighting vehicle, notable for its heavy firepower. Armed with a 105mm M68 rifled gun or 120mm M9 smoothbore gun, it is a potent machine. While not possessing the armor or tactical mobility of a proper tank, it does possess identical firepower and superior strategic and operational mobility. Thus, it can support its infantry squad with a powerful tank cannon. Because of this, it is easily one of the most powerfully-armed IFVs in the Roleplay. This particular example is fitted with additional applique composite armor, making them as well protected as a tank against HEAT ammunition, and allowing it to resist 40mm autocannon from the front and sides.
