The Belorussian Type-32 Liberator is the main MBT of the Tsardom of Belarus and was made by the Imperial Belarusian Guard and the His Majesties Tsar St. Fredricks Ministry of War and Defence to replace the old TTR-72 MBT. It was designed by Russian tank developer Rashikoz Nitozik and was designed with 4 intents, these beings speed, mobility, easy use, and reliability, as well as reliability during invasions, repel/land retake and the deep battle strategy the nation uses.

Armour
     The armour is made out a combination of 340mm thick composed of mostly titanium, high-hardness steel, and plastic filling. Defense systems vary from model to model, mostly the Trophy Defence System, Self-Limiting ERA armor and NERA armor to defend against APFSDS rounds and rounds with tandem charges, ATGM jamming systems, and night vision. 

Engine
     The engine is the Belorussian made SQW MB 234 engine, which it self was based off the European MTU MB 873 Ka-501 (which is also used with many of our tanks). The engine was made for the speed and mobility, something it has been praised for. 

     The tank was made for mobility and speed, as the two main war strategies used by the nation (the deep battle and the central position) both need mobility to show results. For this, much of the nations weaponry is made simple, yet fast. This tank has been described as similar to the Leopold II due to its speed, reliability and mobility.
