An experimental MBT, the A1 combines everything East Asia has best into one package. Ranging from its main gun to the armor composition, the A1 serves as a model tank for the East Asian army, and will most likely enter mass production in a few years.
The electro-thermal gun of the A1 is probably one one the tank's most advanced features, and utilizes multiple aspects of other electric-based weapons. A plasma charge is used to ignite the propellant, and powerful electro-magnets in the cannon help accelerate the main projectile. This helps achieve a shell velocity of up to 6 km / h, and has proved quite deadly in combating enemy tanks. An automated aiming system furthers effectiveness by allowing accurate shots in rapid progression. The main gun can sustain a rate of fire of roughly 10 rounds per minute, although the high energy consumption lowers this rate while on the move.
The protection system of the A1 utilizes both passive and active methods. The main laser tracker on the tank is mounted next to a rapid fire coil gun, which in turn can intercept projectiles going up to 3000 m per sec. While not without its issues, the interception system of the A1 provides high amounts of protection against incoming fire. On the other hand, the armor of the A1 utilizes a composite electro-reactive material reinforced with carbon nanotube plating and supports. This has proved far more effective than the armor of contemporary tanks, and contributes heavily to crew safety.
Stealth systems are effective, preventing enemy RADAR and LIDAR from identifying the tank at mid-long ranges. Given that the A1's own gun outranges most other tanks, a large combat advantage can be attributed to this.

The Current East Asian MBT, the MBT-3500 or VT-5 was invented back in 2016, and has since then undergone mass production. Quite modern, its capable of standing toe to toe with all tanks of its era, and is currently in the process of replacing the dilapidated T-80-5. It utilizes state of the art technology in its defense systems, which can intercept incoming projectiles and missiles. The armor of the MBT-3500 is also quite advanced in the fact it implements carbon-nano tubes in the framework.

A rather old tank, the T-80-5 has been in service for over 30 years, and is rapidly being phased out. While not the most modern of tanks, the T-80-5's cheap price enables it to be mass produced in times of need.
