==Description==
 
==Description==
In [[3030]], [[Aldis Industries]] deployed the successful followup to its venerable [[Demolisher]] design, the slightly lighter '''Zhukov'''.  While it shares many of the parts and features of the design that inspired it, the Zhukov is smaller, better armored, and packs less weaponry than its predecessor.  Its first major deployment was with [[Wolf's Dragoons]] whereupon the Zhukov has since seen constant improvements and tweaks as suggested to Aldis Industries by the field units that use it.  Despite this, the Zhukov's constant updating was eventually halted by Aldis Industries in [[3058]] when it could no longer keep the design in pace with advancing technologies.<ref name=TRO3058p68>''Technical Readout: 3058'', p. 68, "Zhukov Vehicle Profile"</ref><ref name=TRO3058Upp110-111/>

==Armament==
The Zhukov's strength is its relative simplicity.  Two turret-mounted [[SarLon MaxiCannon]] [[Autocannon/10]]s are more than adequate at providing sufficient firepower for the discriminating buyer while imitating its larger cousin the Demolisher. A single [[Harvester 20K]] [[SRM-6]] offers some added punch to anything daring to venture closer to the Zhukov.<ref name=TRO3058p68/><ref name=TRO3058Upp110-111/>

==Variants==
*;Zhukov (WoB) : The [[Word of Blake]] introduced an [[Technology Rating|advanced]] Zhukov equipped with an [[Improved C3 Computer]], a pair of [[Large Variable Speed Pulse Laser|Large Variable Speed Pulse Lasers]], and a single [[MML-7]]. Additional armor and [[CASE]] protects the tank crew from ammunition explosions. To make room for all these changes this version is equipped with an [[XL engine]]. BV (2.0) = 939<ref>''Record Sheets: 3058 Unabridged (Inner Sphere)'', p. 170</ref>
+
The simple rugged design combined with a relative lack of interest on the part of consumers has kept the variations of the Zhukov to a minimum.
 
 
*;Zhukov (LB-X Variant 1) : This [[3073]] variant changed the normal AC/10 for the [[LB 10-X AC|LB-X]] version and the [[SRM]] is only a [[SRM-4|4 tube version]]. The protection is increased through [[CASE]] and the unit is part of a [[C3i]] network.<ref name=TRO3085>''Technical Readout: 3085'', p. 191</ref> BV (2.0) = 956<ref>''Record Sheets: 3085 Unabridged — Old is the New New'', p. 44</ref>
 
 
 
*; Zhukov (Liao LB-X Variant) : The [[CCAF]] modernized their vehicle in [[3076]] with the LB-X class autocannon and the SRM 4. The unit possesses a [[C3 slave]] and [[Guardian ECM]] equipment.<ref name=TRO3085/> BV (2.0) = 1,021<ref>''Record Sheets: 3085 Unabridged — Old is the New New'', p. 45</ref>

==Notes==
 
* In German products, the unit's proper name was translated to '''Schukow''', the correct German transcription of the World War 2 Russian general Georgy Zhukov (Жуков, Георгий Константинович).
