The K-2 represents the pinnacle of next generation tank development, outclassing third generation tanks such as the M1A1/2, Leopard 2, and Challenger 2. It has everything these older tanks have, and more. The following is a breakdown of it's features.
Electronics
The K-2 electronic system is akin to that of an advance fighter aircraft. It has it's own RADAR, capable of detecting incoming missiles and shells. The RADAR system is also hooked to the tank's 120mm L55 main gun, allowing it to track, lock, and shoot vehicle size targets automatically! Along with advanced fire control system, terrain stabilizers, and other ballistic electronics, the K-2 is easily the most accurate tank in the world: it will hit it's target whether the target or tank is moving, whether if the K-2 is rolling on uneven terrain, and even if the target is a fast flying helicopter.
There also comes your standard digital battlefield management system and navigation system for rapid coordination and increased situational awareness with your other units.
Protection
It's armour is the same as that of the M1A2, quite capable of withstanding hits from most RPGs and anti-tank weapons. Combine with our Kontak reactive armour blocks, nothing short of a near point-blank shot by a modern APFSDS round can penetrate it. Provided the enemy can get close enough...
Of course, no matter how much armour you put on, there will always be ordinances able to destroy a tank, hence our engineers have developed a Active Protection System to deal with these threats and minimize damage. This state of the art system equip three all-bearing LASER detection pods to pinpoint enemy tanks using laser range finders, radar/laser warning receivers and jammers. A automatic smoke grenade launcher disrupts any laser/thermal/visual guided missiles, allowing the tank to move to safety. A hard kill AWiSS system is also in place to destroy missiles/rockets with a RADAR tracked grenade launcher within 10 metres.
Weaponry
The K-2 comes with a 120mm main gun similar in performance to the M1 Abram and Leopard 2. Combine with the Fire Control System, it is easily the most deadly weapon a tank can possess. Like the radar naval guns placed on some modern warships, the 120mm can be used to destroy both ground and air targets at great ranges and accuracy. It's automatic engagement mode is a big plus. A selection tungsten penetrators, DU penetrators, and HEAT rounds is available. All rounds are loaded using a autoloader.
There are also two machines guns fitted, a roof mounted 12.7mm HMG and a 7.62mm placed coaxial to the main gun. The 12.7mm, like the main gun, is able to engage targets automatically using it's IR optics and IFF systems. This is very useful when entering areas riddled with enemy infantry, flushing out any insurgents that might engage your tank with AT weapons.
KSTAM
The Killer Smart Top Attack Munition is a sophisticated and indispensable part of the K-2. This guided EFP warhead is the "Divine Arrow" of all 120mm munitions. It will kill any tank within 8km by attacking the weakest part: the top. Most MBTs have a top armour plate of around 40mm, very thin compare to everywhere else. The KSTAM's explosively formed penetrator can easily punch through this thin plating. The penetrator also bypasses any reactive armour on top of an enemy vehicle.
The KSTAM has built-in guidance and obstacle-avoidance systems for navigation, small millimeter band RADAR and infrared sensors for target identification. Fins guide the munition to it's target after lock. The KSTAM can be fired behind cover and hit entrenched/hidden targets because of it's mortar-like trajectory. It is also a fire-and-forget weapon.
Other Features
-hydraulic suspension allows the tank to "sit", "stand", "kneel" or to "lean" in any direction.
-tank is able to ford up to 4 metres of water, compare to just one metre for the M1A2
-NBC protection
-TPS satnav link
-axillary power unit allows tank to operate with main engine off
-hazardous area sensors
