Description

The MHI Defense AA Tank is a mid thirty-second century Heavy Class Combat Vehicle which was prominent in the armies of the Republic of the Sphere and the Federated Suns. The vehicle is designed to be a robust and flexible vehicle able to handle the demands of protecting ground units from airborne attack. Its flexible main guns are also able to provide fire support for allied forces on the ground.

The vehicle was secretly deployed among Republican forces sent outside of the Republic's Wall into neighboring nations to disrupt and keep potential enemies off guard.[3]

Weapons and Equipment

Michaelson's engineers made the Defense AA able go anywhere, which included giving the vehicle limited amphibious capacities. While not speedy, its tracked motive system gives it the ability to go most places on the ground, while being able to resist some damage inflicted in combat. One of the vehicle's noted features is its 8 tons of StarSlab/7 Heavy Ferro-Fibrous armor, giving it more durability while under fire.

The Defense AA main weapons consists of a pair of turret-mounted Armstrong Class-B LB 10-X Autocannons. The guns are supplied by 4 tons of CASE-protected ammunition, allowing its crew to choose what ammunition types they need for any particular mission. As secondary weapon against infantry, the tank comes with a trio of Light Machine Guns mounted in front, with a half ton of ammunition also protected by the vehicle's CASE.[4]
