Description[edit]
Renna Palmira, from New Samarkand Metals on Xinyang designed the Nike as an alternative to the expensive Partisan.
Weapons and Equipment[edit]
This armored vehicle focuses on firepower rather than the command and coordination abilities of later Partisan models. By using less-expensive technology, customers who couldn't afford a Partisan still get a solid anti-aircraft platform. Built on a modified support vehicle chassis, a fuel cell engine provides a top speed of 54 km/h while thirteen tons of BAR 9 armor provides protection against most weaponry. Offensively, the Nike carries a pair of Light AC/2s and a pair of LB 5-X ACs with each weapon backed by a two ton ammunition bay. Due to the bulkier nature of some components the Nike weighs 90 tons - ten tons heavier than its inspiration.[1]
