The EX200-3 main gun is a smoothbore, high-velocity cannon designed to engage and destroy enemy tanks, fortifications, and other armored targets.
It boasts a caliber of 120mm, which is a standard size for modern main battle tanks. The gun is capable of firing a variety of ammunition types, providing versatility and adaptability in combat scenarios.
One of the key features of the EX200-3 main gun is its advanced autoloader system. The autoloader ensures a high rate of fire, allowing the tank to engage multiple targets quickly and effectively. This feature greatly enhances the tank's combat capabilities, as it minimizes the time required to reload the gun, improving overall battlefield survivability.
The main gun's ammunition includes various types, such as armor-piercing fin-stabilized discarding sabot (APFSDS) rounds, high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT) rounds, and high-explosive fragmentation (HE-FRAG) rounds. APFSDS rounds are specifically designed to penetrate heavily armored targets, utilizing their kinetic energy to defeat enemy armor. HEAT rounds are effective against armored vehicles and fortifications, utilizing a shaped charge to penetrate the target's armor. HE-FRAG rounds, on the other hand, are ideal for engaging infantry or lightly armored targets, as they create a fragmentation effect upon detonation.
The range of the EX200-3 main gun varies depending on the ammunition used.
With APFSDS rounds, the tank can engage targets at distances of up to 4 kilometers (2.5 miles), ensuring long-range accuracy and precision. HEAT and HE-FRAG rounds have slightly shorter effective ranges, typically reaching targets at distances of up to 2 to 3 kilometers (1.2 to 1.9 miles). These ranges allow the tank to engage enemies from a safe distance while maintaining a tactical advantage.
To enhance accuracy and targeting capabilities, the main gun is equipped with advanced fire control systems. These systems include laser rangefinders, ballistic computers, and thermal imaging sensors, which provide the crew with crucial information to accurately engage targets. The integration of these systems allows for improved accuracy even while on the move or under adverse weather conditions.
Additionally, the EX200-3 main gun is equipped with stabilization technology, reducing the effects of the tank's movement on firing accuracy. This stabilization system compensates for the tank's motion, providing a steady platform for accurate and effective firing, even when traversing rough terrain.
