History

The Mk.VII MBT NG-TD1 was first developed in the early 2000s alongside the Mk.VII MBT NG-V1 in a design program. It used an oscillating turret with a 120mm cannon and had pretty advanced technology, such as a infared camera, and a mechanical shell loader to speed up reloading the 120MM cannon. After nearly a decade, the Mk.VII MBT NG-V1 would later end up winning instead, due to easier manufacturing, cheaper costs, and fitting more requirements and being practical. The manufacturer put the Mk.VII MBT NG-TD1 project to cancelation and it being repurposed to being a technology demonstrator by the manufacturer to moving on with other tank projects.
