==Description==
Unveiled in [[3110]], the '''Partisan AA Vehicle''', a lighter take on the original [[Partisan]] Air Defense Tank, was meant to be cheaper and faster but still be equally effective in the anti-aircraft role.<ref name=DADossiers133>''MechWarrior: Dark Age - Dossiers and Pilot Cards'', p. 133: "Tameka Pryer"</ref> The newer Partisan came into existence due in part to Kallon Weapons Industries' failed attempts to market to budget-focused quartermasters post-Jihad. With the "Cheap and Replaceable" sales campaign damaging Kallon's reputation among tank crews, the company scrambled to produce something to clean their image.<ref name=TRO3150p74/>

Unveiled in [[3110]], this lighter take off on the original ''[[Partisan]] Air Defense Tank'' was meant to be cheaper and faster, but still be equally effective in the anti-aircraft role.
  
Produced on [[Loyalty]], the Partisan AA ended up a capable and fast anti-air platform, but neither inexpensive nor easily replaced if lost in battle. However, Kallon sold it at a discount in bulk, making large-scale sales across the Sphere - particularly to the [[Magistracy of Canopus]], [[Free Worlds League]], and [[Duchy of Andurien]].<ref name=TRO3150p74/>

''It should be noted this design is currently illegal. A 50 ton wheeled vehicle with the listed speed profile should have a 180 rated engine.''
  
==Weapons and Equipment==
+
==Armament==
The Partisan AA Vehicle is armed with dual Defiance Shredder [[LB 5-X Autocannon]] mounted in the vehicle's turret. These guns, along with its excellent anti-aircraft equipment, allow the vehicle to engage aircraft, such as [[VTOL]]s and other airborne targets. The vehicle's three tons of ammunition is enough to sustain the vehicle in combat.

An improvement over its heavier predecessor, the vehicle was designed with a 230-rated standard [[fusion engine]], which allows the vehicle to achieve higher speeds than its predecessor. However, the vehicle is not as all-terrain as its tracked original. The tank's hull is protected by 5.5 tons of Kallon Unity Weave [[ferro-fibrous armor]].<ref name=TRO3150p74/>

*;Partisan AA Vehicle (3134 Upgrade) : Produced in [[3134]], this version of the Partisan AA would give the vehicle a longer reach than before, while gaining a secondary weaponry which the Standard Model lacked. Gone is the standard LB-5X Class autocannons, in their place are a pair of [[Hyper-Velocity Autocannon/2|Class 2 Hyper-Velocity Autocannons]] with two tons of ammunition. Though lacking the punch of the Standard's bigger LB-5Xs, the HVAC/2s accuracy is improved by adding a [[Targeting Computer]] to the vehicle.  As a secondary weapon, the vehicle is fitted with a 10-tubed Rocket Launcher in the turret.

==Notes==
 
* When originally produced for [[WizKids]]' ''[[MechWarrior: Dark Age]]'' collectable miniature game, the Partisan AA Vehicle was given a dossier which revealed some Classic BattleTech stats. However, the vehicle's information didn't correspond with construction rules for [[combat vehicle]]s. When the franchise advanced to [[3145]], the vehicle was updated to meet these construction rule requirements to be functional in the game. Translated stats were released in ''Technical Readout: 3145 Free Worlds League''.
