What is tank? The "MTT-40" likely refers to the MMT-40, a light tank developed by Myanmar with assistance from Ukrainian arms export companies. This vehicle is designed for the difficult terrain of Myanmar, filling a niche between heavier main battle tanks and lighter armored vehicles, and is characterized by its agility and 105mm main gun, according to a military forum.
Key details about the MMT-40:
Origin:
Myanmar, with Ukrainian assistance.
Purpose:
To provide direct fire support and maneuverability in mountainous and forested terrain, where larger tanks struggle.
Armament:
Features a 105mm main cannon, mounted in a new Chinese-made two-man turret.
Chassis:
It is reportedly developed on the chassis of the Russian-made 2S1 Gvozdika tracked self-propelled howitzer.
Role:
Aims to bridge the gap between Main Battle Tanks (MBTs) and wheeled tank destroyers in Myanmar's arsenal.
Appearance:
First publicly shown in a 2022 parade, it is considered Myanmar's first "domestic" tank, though with significant foreign involvement in its development.
