Syark Defence Forces - 1/35 Trumpeter Italian Army MBT Ariete C1


MBT Ariete adalah ketumbukan utama Tentera Darat Italy dalam menangani ancaman musuh dari luar. MBT ini mula diperkenalkan oleh Tentera Darat Italy pada tahun 1995. Direka oleh Iveco-Fiat and Oto Melara. kebanyakkan negara maju akan memperkenalkan MBT mereka sendiri sebagai satu bentuk kemajuan dalam ketenteraan mereka. Ini benar2 membuktikan kepada kita, kita perlu lakukan sesuatu untuk mereka sendiri MBT kita. Sekarang dengan adanya Pendekar (tank yang nak sangat aku buat tapi x ada stok lagi) dan AV8 yang direka oleh Deftech diharap dapat membentuk jaringan pengetahuan yang mampu meberi lonjakkan kepada pengenalan MBT kita sendiri.

Italy was never known for building a formitable main battle tank. Postwar Italy depended on imports or license-built designs from other countries. This changed in February of 1997 when the first Ariete 1 tanks began to appear. This "all Italian" second generation MBT was designed and manufactured by the Iveco Fiat and OTO Melara consortium. This new main battle tank will replace the older Leopard 1A2 as the standard armored fighting vehicle of the Italian Army. Main armament includes 120-mm smoothbore gun with secondary armament comprised of two MG 42/59 - 7.62 mm. One coaxial to main gun and the other on the turret roof for local and air defense. The Ariete MBT is powered by the new turbocharged Fiat V-12 MTCA diesel developing 1,275 horse power.
