Description
In 3030 Aldis Industries deployed the successful follow up 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 the 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.
Armament
The Zhukov's strength is its relative simplicity. 2 turret mounted Autocannon/10s are more than adequate at providing sufficient firepower for the discriminating buyer while imitating its larger cousin the Demolisher. A single SRM-6 offers some added punch to anything daring to venture closer to the Zhukov.
Variants
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.
Related Vehicles
Demolisher - An older tank whose effectiveness is well known and is a parts donor to the smaller Zhukov.
