M/96 Hulthas

The M/96 Hulthas (Anglic: Devil Spirit) is a main battle tank developed by Curt Ellac at Maccrauthan Oto for the Mero-Curgovinan Landsmahts in the 1980s. The tank succeeded the M/70 Buldac II as Mero-Curgovina's primary main battle tank in 1996 and remains in service to the present. The vehicle is armed with an Austrasian 140mm cannon and is powered by a V12 biturbo diesel engine.

As of 2016, all Hulthas vehicles in active service with Mero-Curgovina have been updated to the Hulthas HISP standard. HISP (High Intensity Survival Package) includes increased turret and hull armour, protective skirts, a remote weapons system complimenting the standard machine guns, and an enhanced optics suite. The HISP package reportedly protects the vehicle's turret with nearly 1,200mm of classified composite armour, making it one of the most well protected armoured fighting vehicles in Anterra. HISP vehicles can be identified by their box turrets that extend to the gun mantlet.
