Romania pursues replacement MBT

Romania is seeking a replacement for its existing TR-85 M1 main battle tank (MBT), Lieutenant Colonel Valentin Torcica, chief of the Romanian Ministry of Defence's Armoured Office, announced on the last day of the Future Armoured Vehicles Survivability conference in London on 13-15 November.

The TR-85 M1 has been service in 1997.

The main requirements for the future Romanian MBT is to have a day/night all-weather hunter-killer capability, a 120 mm smoothbore main gun, and modern command, control, communications, computers, and intelligence mission systems. Other requirements include three or four crew members, a secondary armament with an elevation up to 70°, high survivability, and good sustainability.
