I believe Our XM-3 Meets your basic requirements for size, tonnage, main weapon, and performance. it was rejected in favor of the M-3 Mohljaniir as the Main Battle tank OF the republic of Valkiir due to changes in the requirements for the vehicle. The capability and combat effectiveness was never an issue with the design.

crew microclimate vest and cooled/heated Filtered air supply.

estimated cost 3.5-4 Million per unit,

Domestic Production Rights could be negotiated for this particular model.Assuming ou have the capability to produce the armor inserts and access to depleted uranium.

the XM-3 was the main competitor for our current Main battle tanks during its development. A change in requirements that reuired a multi-fuel diesel/electric powertrain increased weight requirements and delays in development due to trouble with powertrain and autoloader forced the design house to withdraw the XM-3. however, in every way, the tanks was a successful design and it is quite capable of engaging and destroying any tank of its weight class and larger tanks if properly deployed and with proper crew training/tactics.

With the additional time to refine the design, the XM-3 is actually more fuel efficient, with equal protection on the front slope to the M-3 Mohljaniir main battle tank, and presents a smaller lower profile target to enemy gunners. With its suspension adjusted to low profile the vehicle is less than eight feet tall, and even with side mounted reactive armor packets in place, the vehicle is only 11 feet wide, with armor packets dismounted for transport the vehicle is under ten feet wide.
