Armour-piercing fin-stabilized discarding sabot: a type of kinetic energy penetrator ammunition.

Automated loading system for tank guns, reducing crew workload.

Computerised Basic: a fire control system generation in tanks that provides fundamental computer‑assisted ballistic calculations without advanced targeting aids such as laser rangefinders or thermal imaging.

Type of internal combustion engine fuel, refined from crude oil.

High-Explosive Fragmentation: ammunition that explodes on impact, releasing fragments.

High-Explosive Anti-Tank: a type of projectile that uses a shaped charge to penetrate armor.

Hydromechanical transmission combines hydraulic fluid power with mechanical gear components to transmit engine power to a tank's tracks.

Hydropneumatic suspension employs hydraulic fluid and compressed gas in sealed chambers to provide variable damping and ride height, allowing tanks to adjust ground clearance and improve cross‑country mobility.

Optical device that uses laser pulses to measure the distance to a target with high precision.

A tank with reduced armor and weight for increased mobility.

Enhanced low-light visibility through specialized optics or sensors.

A rifled gun has spiral grooves cut into its barrel.

Thermal sights are infrared imaging devices mounted on a tank's gunner station that detect heat emitted by objects, enabling target identification and aiming in low‑visibility conditions.

Armour made by welding and rolling homogeneous steel plates.
