The T-95 Main Battle Tank was developed in the Crimson Star Republic as it's fourth generation main battle tank program in the late 1990s and early 2000s, with considerable input from the Slavic National Confederacy nations, most notably Byzantium. The first prototype was created in 1998. Integration of the systems went long enough for the tank to linger in a pre-production limbo and most notably, protracted gun trials - until finally by early 2009 these problems were solved. After the serial production picked up speed, the T-95 became the backbone of the elite tank forces of the Union of Crimson and Shadow Republics during the 2008-2018 decade, and continues to play an integral part in the modernization of the Union armed forces, replacing older tank models in service.
