The PL-01 is a tracked vehicle with a 105mm or 120mm cannon, and can pass through trenches as wide as 2.6 meters. It can be outfitted with extra armor, and is designed to be mobile yet maneuverable. It was made to be both an export and domestic vehicle. The original intent was to serve the interests of the United States Army, but it was later modified to serve the needs of international customers as well.
The tracked vehicle PL-01
The PL-01 is a tracked vehicle capable of carrying a 105mm or 120mm gun, and a 40mm grenade-launcher. The active protection system is included in the tank, which can neutralize antitank guided missiles. It boasts a 940 horsepower diesel motor, an automatic transmission, and seven wheels.
It has a 105mm or 120mm cannon
The stealth tank PL-01 has the ability to fire either a 105mm, or a 120mm cannon depending upon its variant. Its main gun can fire six rounds per minute, while the turret can fire a 7.62mm coaxial machine gun. The vehicle can also carry a 40mm hand grenade launcher. It measures 21 ft in length and 10 ft wide. A single tank can take it 310 miles.
It can be equipped with additional armor
You can add armor to the PL-01. This increases protection against HEAT as well as armor-piercing rounds. The PL-01 has a level 4-level ceramic composite armor. A plug-in optional armor system will add even more protection. With all its armor in place, the PL-01 is estimated to weigh around 39 tons. This makes it a light tank. It weighs approximately three-fifths more than an Abrams main battlefield tank and is about ten tonnes lighter than the fully-loaded Russian T-90 major battle tank.
It can pass through trenches up to 2.6 m wide
The PL-01 is powered by a 940 horsepower diesel engine and a torque converter. It also has an automatic gearbox. The vehicle can climb steep hills and negotiate natural and engineered trenches of up to 2.6 meters in width. Its automatic gearbox helps it maintain a high rate of fire, and the main gun can fire up to six rounds per minute. It is capable of navigating water depths up to five metres (16 feet). Depending on the configuration, the machine can reach speeds up to 50 km/h (33.3 mph) in rough terrain and 70 km/h (34.3 mph), on paved roads. It can cover up to 500km.
It will be made in Poland
The PL-01 is a brand new battle tank that was designed for Poland’s armed forces. It boasts a fully integrated turret with a fully auto 120mm gun, an active countermeasures and anti-aircraft MG. The vehicle is made from special materials and will likely be covered in camo paint to make them harder to detect on enemy radar. It will carry three people. The hull can also be made modular so that it can be converted to an IFV whenever necessary.
It will be shipped abroad
The PL-01 was based on the Swedish CV90 IFV platform, which has been around since a long time. It has a front engine compartment, and it is expected to produce around 1000 horsepower. It is also expected to feature an automatic transmission. It can travel cross-country at 50 km/h. It can also come with a deep wading aid kit that will help you navigate waterways.
