OverviewA mid wight Mine protected vehicle for troop transport, patrol, logistics, and security operations the "Nabagijaane "(Flat nose) Serves with various Valkiiri Groups and forces and has been cleared for sales to foreign powers, and private contractors.
Originally designed and manufactured from heavy truck chassis by private security firms operating in lawless and ungoverned area to protect mining and refining facilities the vehicle was adopted after it successfully survived numerous attacks, explosions and ambushes conducted b militants and violent criminal gangs armed with military small arms, explosives and RPGs.
Gibbs Motor Company bought the small workshop which had been performing the custom builds for several times the estimated cost of the company and secured the rights and contracts to manufacture the vehicle Making back their initial investment( believed to be a wasteful overpayment by observers) with the first order.
The vehicles hull was reinforced and the heavy Steel and ceramic armor replaced with more modern lighter ceramic, composite and steel armor that reduced the vehicle weight to a point it could be air transported by helicopter.
Mobility:The "Nabagijaane "( flat nose) can handle almost any terrain short of flooded marsh and sheer rocky surfaces. It can negotiate wooded terrain, snow, mud, and icy terrain as effectively as any all terrain transport, and has 40cm of ground clearance under the armored underbody. It can ford up to 1.5 meters of water and has an easily mounted rear snorkel to allow it to run even if the engine itself is fully submerged.
Protection:The vehicle can shrug off multiple hits from heavy machine guns such as the .50caliber firing armor piercing rounds or the 14.5mm Heavy machine gun using standard rounds. For additional safety the fuel is stored in a blast and fire resistant fuel cell isolated from The interior by sturdy fire walls, and the engine and transmission are isolated by a second firewall preventing a blast or fire from entering the cab from the engine well.
windows are a laminate material made up of synthetics and layers of crystalline aluminum/Synthetic Sapphire, and a fine wire mesh to prevent shattering and block, blinding lasers, microwave and other forms of electromagnetic radiation, alpha and beta wave radiation and help blunt hard radiation in the event of a nuclear blast/dirty bomb
The materials used in the armor are light and easy to work with but they take up a bit more space than steel and conventional materials. Making the vehicle slightly more cramped on the inside than some other vehicles. But the crew, passengers and small cargo load are well protected and likely to survive any attack that doesn't reduce the vehicle to metallic scrap instantly.
Weapons:The vehicle can be armed with almost any small arm, heavy machine gun, grenade launcher, or light to medium auto cannons with several turrets manufactured for installation on the vehicles reinforced hull

OverviewA more heavily armed and armored version of the Shortnose the Bakwendan or "Bakwem" is a light duty combat vehicle for security operations patrols scouting and infantry support. It's weapons allow it to cause serious damage to any vehicle up to and including older or smaller MBTs while retaining the ability to provide short range support for infantry or suppress the enemy while it make a hasty retreat.
Mechanical SystemsRemote Turret
The weapons mount is electrically powered and remotely operated from the gunners position behind the commanders seat.
The weapons system and reloading gear is securely attached to four Hard points in the roof of the vehicle which transfer weight and recoil to the vehicle chassis and frame rather than the shell of the vehicle.
RELOADNG
The weapons can be reloaded by ejecting empty ammunition containers rotating the weapons into reloading positioning and loading fresh containers into the systems through hatches in the roof of the vehicle.
Suspension:
The Hydro pneumatic suspension locks when the gun fires preventing the vehicle fro rocking to increase stability although the ride becomes very rough if firing on the move
Mobility: can handle almost any terrain short of flooded marsh and sheer rocky surfaces. It can negotiate wooded terrain, snow, mud, and icy terrain as effectively as any all terrain transport, and has 40cm of ground clearance under the armored underbody. It can ford up to 1.5 meters of water and has an easily mounted rear snorkel to allow it to run even if the engine itself is fully submerged.

OverviewThe M201 vehicle is the base platform for family of vehicles built using a base frame and shared components. It is modified for duties raiding from scouting or infantry support, to artillery and anti tank, anti aircraft warfare. it is protected from small arms, shell splinters, grenades and other common infantry weapons, and light autcannons, but is not sufficiently armored to resist the main guns of most tanks and anti-tank weapons.
Its high speed and mobility are a primary asset of the vehicle and give it superb tactical flexibility. Capable of crossing rough terrain, and accompanying infantry through heavy brush and forested terrain. On open roads of flat ground the vehicle can exceed the road speed of most tanks and keep up with most common wheeled vehicles without difficulty
Mechanical SystemsIt is powered by a compact diesel air cooled multi fuel generator powering electric drives in the hub of wheel units.. its battery pack allows it to operate on battery power alone for an extended period ( up to one hour) and set with its engine off using its battery pack to run radios, portable optics and surveillance gear and personal electronic is carried by the crew for several hours at a time.
the motors of the M-201 are designed to run in High Speed, Low Speed, and towing modes. The high speed is used for road travel and rapid maneuvering but offers the least torque for cross country travel and may encounter problems in mud or snow.
The Low Speed mode allows higher torque and is most often used during cross country travel or when carrying heavy weapons. it does not allow full speed but the vehicle can reach 50 Kph when in low gear and has double the towing power of the higher gears.
The towing gear restricts the vehicle to twenty five kilometers per hour but allows the vehicle to tow other vehicles, heavy artillery pieces and heavily laden trailers during travel. the vehicle can two twice its own weight when in towing mode but may experience more frequent breakdowns due to stress on motors.
In reverse the vehicle is generally operated in low speed mode but has the option to use a high speed mode which gives it the same performance in reverse as it has in forward gears.
The use of a high-efficiency battery pack in the vehicle gives it a low noise, and run silent options making the vehicle extremely hard to spot using thermal imaging Running blacked out and on batteries the M-201 can be very stealthy.
its wheels make little noise at low speed, and the small thermal signature of its battery pack and electric motors are well within the range of a large animal or civilian vehicle giving even trained observes a challenge when tasked with spotting blacked out M201 operating with significant cover or concealment
Mobility:the wide variable pressure wheels, light weight and ground clearance of the vehicle give it excellent cross country and rough terrain capability. It can cross low obstacles, rocks, an debris with little danger of becoming stuck.
on soft boggy or swampy ground, snow, or loose sand the vehicle has unmatched traction and can maintain higher speeds than many heavier vehicles allowing it to maneuver rapidly across terrain too soft for heavier vehicles. this is put to good use in the role of scout, or ambush vehicle by experienced crews who can put its mobility to good use to engage or evade heavily armed threats.
Protection:The M201 is lightly armored its forward armor is sufficient to protect from most 20mm rounds but is sides and rear are only protected against 14.5mm armor piercing rounds. this is sufficient to deal with most infantry carried weapons however with vehicles in the area it is usually prudent to fight with the vehicle in a covered position or use its speed and cross country mobility to full advantage rather than depending on its thin armor for protection.
The vehicle can protect its crew from most chemical weapons and dangerous fallout but the vehicle becomes extremely claustrophobic and difficult to operate sealed up for NBC protection most crews will use their own personal NBC gear rather than relying on vision blocks and the narrow views through periscopes if forced into a situation where chemical or radiological threats are likely
Weapons:the vehicle can be armed with a wide range of turrets and weapons mounts. the lightest of these mounts is a turret mounting a 30mm cannon, and multiple anti infantry weapons ranging from a 7.62mm machine gun to grenade launchers and close in anti-personnel "S-mine" type airbursting antipersonnel charges.

M3a1The core of the Valkiir Armored forces the Mohljaniir is a heavy well-armored fighting vehicle designed to face superior numbers of enemy tanks with a high degree of survivability and mission completion. It's heavily sloped Chobham armor is proof to most threats on the battlefield allowing the crew to maneuver aggressively using its high mobility and speed to great effect.The M-3 can go toe to toe with the latest Main battle tank and survive with a high degree of success, its main gun can defeat all but the most advanced MBTs on the battlefield.
Valkiir Heavy Industries manufactures the vehicle in several locations and in several variants for the export market. The standard domestic model features heavy armor with improved overhead and mine protection built into the design. Additional Reactive and spaced armor panels provide excellent protection against ATGM and other shaped charge weapons.
It's stabilized 120mm smoothbore main gun is fully stabilized and features advanced fire control systems to make it as accurate as any gun on the market today. While firing a lethal depleted uranium projectile that can slice through most enemy tanks like a hot knife through butter.
The driver, Commander, and gunner have access to day/night optics, with enhanced Thermal imaging capabilities.giving the crew exceptional battlefield awareness and allowing rapid detection and engagement of enemy targets.
the Preferred nations Package reduces some of the secondary systems for reduced cost and to allow the buyer to install aftermarket and self-produced systems if desired. It does not sacrifice armor or firepower making it a lethal battlefield presence in its own right.
The Export version reduces armor and weapon caliber as well as most secondary systems to reduce price and to ensure that in potential conflicts the Valkiir Army is not facing its own weaponry. The lighter armor, reduced gun size and absent secondary systems do make the vehicle far less expensive and actually increases the performance of the vehicle in the areas of speed, range, and cross-country mobility.
The M3A1 is an upgrade to the original design modified to respond to combat experiences operating the M3 in heavy combat against modern Designs. The armor has been enhanced and the forward slope of the turret has been sloped with an internal airspace to increase protection from HEAT rounds and kinetic projectiles alike. The complex electronics and communications package that allowed communication and real-time data transfer to all tanks in a company, battalion, and regiment were modified to reduce energy demands and do away with systems that proved less than effective in modern combat. However, the vehicles retain eh ability to stream data to battalion level headquarters and more selective low data density navigational, vehicle status, threat alerts and position of hostile vehicles with other vehicles in its company.
M3 The previous version of the Model now available for export: it has been stripped of classified communications and advanced data management systems but retains a full suite of radios and navigational aids. The system is integrated into the fire control network so it can automatically determine the GPS coordinates of a target within range of the vehicles Laser rangefinder systems. In addition, it can direct and fire the vehicles main gun and secondary weapons at map coordinates entered by the commander or gunner to respond to fire support requests from infantry in the area
M3EX
The Export version of the Vehicle fitted with a 105mm Rifled gun, and basic fire control and gun stabilization. It lacks any assisted navigation or data management systems relying on basic electronics and a built-in GPS system alone. It is designed t0 be upgraded with locally produced weapons, electronics, and computer systems by the purchaser as well as being suitable to be upgunned to whichever weapons system the purchaser desires.
Cost 6,000,000 all armor and performance statistics match M3A1
M590 HEV
The M-590 is n engineering vehicle fitted with rear mounted lows, a forward mounted dozer blade, and attachments for mine clearing rollers. The system can be fitted with a Mine flail or in clearing explosive rope system for clearing mines and obstructions under heavy fire.
The vehicle has been stripped of most of its electronics, optics and computers and communications. It is armed with a 155mm short barreled demolition gun/Howitzer for clearing fortifications and roadblocks, with some ability to act as a direct fire support vehicle for infantry unit if needed. Due to its intended role as a vehicle to be used under enemy fire, it retains the heavy armor of theM3 and is fitted with several secondary weapons for self-defense against hostile forces.
Its top speed is half that of the M3A1, however, the system produces far more torque and has greater power for earthmoving and entrenching work.
Cost 4,OOO,000,000 Nsd
