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

Anti-Tank Guided Missile: a missile designed to destroy tanks.

A Battle Management System (BMS) is a command‑and‑control software suite that gathers, processes, and shares battlefield data to provide situational awareness and coordinate the actions of military units.

Armour made from multiple materials, such as metals and ceramics, to increase effectiveness.

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 main battle tank is a heavily armored vehicle with a large caliber gun, used for front-line combat.

Nuclear, Biological, Chemical protection for tank crews.
