The dual-axis high-performance turret provides hunter-killer capability. The tank provides an optimal combination of firepower and maneuverability. It can be configured to provide enhanced lethality.

The autoloaders have some ballistic protection, but only hold roughly half of a T-72/80’s ammunition.
