==Description==
The '''Zorya Light Tank''' is an inexpensive [[combat vehicle]] whose biggest asset is that it is simple to use. This cheap vehicle uses an [[internal combustion engine]] and standard armor to save on cost, owing to it being the most prevalent vehicle in use by the [[Clans]] of Kerensky. Moreover, the controls are basic, so the three-person crew can easily learn their roles.<ref name=TRO3060>''Technical Readout: 3060'', pp. 50-51, "Zorya Vehicle Profile"</ref>

The Zorya is protected by a scant three and a half tons of armor, with most of that concentrated on the vehicle's front and turret. The slow tank can only manage 64 km/h, another victim of the cost-cutting measures used in the construction of the vehicle. An [[ECM Suite]] helps defend the Zorya and nearby allies against enemy electronics, but this often has the effect of making the tank into a magnet for enemy fire.<ref name=TRO3060/>

==Weapons and Equipment==
The Zorya cannot take much punishment, so it is designed to stay out of range of most enemy guns. The turret carries both weapons, a Type OVR-X [[LB-X Autocannon/5]] and a Type X "Short Bow" [[LRM-10]] launcher with an [[Artemis IV Fire Control System]]. Both of these weapons have a long range and can be effective against [[VTOL]]s, making the Zorya quite capable against them. Ample autocannon ammunition allows the Zorya's crew to switch between cluster and slug munitions.<ref name=TRO3060/>

==Variants==
*;Ammo : This variant of the Zorya was introduced during the [[Succession Wars era]]. It drops the [[Artemis IV FCS]] for increased ammunition for the LB 5X Autocannon. Additionally, the vehicle's armor was increased, mainly in the front and turret areas. BV (2.0) = 573<ref>''Record Sheets: 3060 Unabridged'', p. 75, "Ammo variant of the Zorya".</ref>

*;ATM : Based on the ''Ammo'' variant, this [[Jihad]] variant of the Zorya drops the LRM launcher for a turret-mounted [[ATM-6|ATM-6 Launcher]] with 20 rounds of ammunition. The vehicle's internal combustion engine is dropped for a [[fuel cell]] engine, increasing its top speed to 80 km/h.
