MTAT-33/ST

The Military Tactical Assault Tank, Model 33 / Service Tank was a main battle tank in service with the PMRDD, serving from 2019 to 2020. It had seen some combat over its lifetime before its decommissioning.

Development
After large scale conflict, the PMRDD sought a replacement for its aging and obviously unsuited MUT platform. The MUT line of tanks were made primarily to combat silents, but after suffering from two major civil wars, the vehicle had demonstrated itself non-effective against practical human targets. Thus, the PMRDD needed a replacement.

The NCMD, the PMRDD's main armored vehicle contractor at the time, proposed a revamped and refurbished derivative of the MUT-21, classified as the MUT-33. Desperate for a replacement, the PMRDD accepted the vehicle, modifying it with different armaments (such as replacing its standard 30mm autocannon) and sensory systems. In late 2019, commissioned the vehicle as the MTAT-33/ST.

Service History
Its service history was relatively short. It served its duty of fulfilling the void left by the MUT-21 in regards to PMRDD service, but it did not see much combat during its service life.

The vehicle entered service around the end of the PMRDD v HEX war, thus its chance of participating in major combat had dashed. Its service record is relatively small compared to the massive battles of its predecessor, the MUT-21. However, the tank was well likes for its simple design and configuration, sharing similarities to the MUT-21.

Replacement
After its short service with the PMRDD, another replacement was sought for it. With the NCMD as the sole armored contractor for the PMRDD, the NCMD was able to put pressure on the PMRDD to begin acquisition on its new M28 Sentinel line of tanks. The PMRDD began the process of rapidly decomissioning the MTAT-33/ST from its main battle tank role, in favor of the much more complex and capable M28 Sentinel, heavily modified and reclassified as the MTAT-38/ST.
