G3 Sabretooth

The G3 Sabretooth is a fourth-generation main battle tank in service with the Hwangji Army. The tank is a major upgrade for the G2 Black Bear, designed by Daewhan Heavy Industries in the early 2010s in response to the development of the Taipan Main Battle Tank and to correspond to a focus in network-centric warfare and overall digitisation of the Armed Forces. The tank is currently being produced in batch quantities with the first one being completed in mid-2023.

The G3 is a major conversion for the original G2, the most significant part of the upgrade is the replacement of the original turret designed in the 1980s with a new one to accomodate new electronics, sensors, the improved G20 rifled gun as well as an autoloader. The G3 is also integrated with the brand new (insert name) System which provides and integrated battle management, situational awareness, fire control and communication system.

Armamament
The main armament of the G3 Sabretooth is the improved G20 5.5-Inch Rifled Gun. The G20 is an improved version of the G18, able to handle higher pressures than the previous G18 gun as well as sporting a larger calibre, increasing the length from 48 calibres to 55. The gun is lined with internal chrome plating to increase the stiffness and resistance to handle more substantial pressures. The gun is mounted with an eccentric hydro-pneumatic suspension and also complemented with a bustle-style autoloader which holds 24 rounds with the remaining 22 stored in the hull.
