Stingray light tank
The Stingray light tank was developed to fill requirements for a light tank with increased strategic and tactical mobility and main battle tank firepower. Stingray fires all NATO 105-mm ammunition, as well as British and U.S. armor-piercing, fin-stabilized discarding sabot (APFSDS) ordnance. It travels at speeds of 44 mph (71 km/hr), climbs 60-percent gradients, and traverses 2.7-foot (82 cm) vertical obstacles and water depths to 3.5 feet (107 cm). The Stingray is the only light tank mounting the NATO 105-mm cannon in production. Textron Marine & Land Systems has now completed an advanced version of the Stingray, known as Stingray II. The Stingray II, which has increased ballistic protection and improved fire control, is expected to have wide appeal to many international customers.
This system, produced by Textron Marine and Land Systems Division [formerly Cadillac Gage], is not used by the US military, although it is available for Foreign Military Sales.
