Description A Rail gun Tank Destroyer developed from the basis of the half-tracked utility vehicle, the FR-28. A Rail gun only from which is a class of the light-weight low caliber class which  only has a penetrating power of over 300-500 mm at over 4,000 m. This vehicle is still in it's Prototype stage further being tested on the vehicle's capabilities regarding firepower, speed, defense, and mobility. With improved technical systems further increasing it's combat capability, the FRX-23 can fire its kinetic shells with pin-point accuracy. The turret can be manually operated and/or remotely controlled from within the crew compartment located at the front section of the vehicle but testing for that kind feature is still unknown to be fitted in it's official design as further development and research is still being conducted for this new type of weapon. There in fact three classes of rail guns, in the M.S. Empire. The Low class caliber, which has a penetrating power of about 300-500 mm, Medium class which has about 500-800 mm, and last but not least the Large caliber class, which has an astonishing penetrating power of over 800-1150 mm! This took me along time to finish but i do hope ya'll like this design!

History: Two Ministries both the Masotanian Army and M.S. Defense Force (MSDF) decided to create a project, developing new rail gun technology to be used as a weapon to support the front-lines from far ranges, as a result they three rail-gun classes with strict specifications. The Low Caliber, Medium Caliber, and High Caliber. But as of right now the military is only limited towards developing the Low Caliber Class due to tight resource management and budget cuts. The Low-caliber is a powerful and a rapid-firing Rail Gun system, weighing only 10 tonnes. In the year 1984, the Masotanian Federal Government secretly ordered the research of a more highly-efficient weapon with greater power and accuracy. Cooperating with the military, they manage to built one on ground in a secret base for further testing, the info wasn't revealed until 23 years later in 2003 showing substantial progress. The weapon was small enough to initially mount the new tech into a vehicle with little-to-no armor protection in order to improve its mobility in the battlefield. The Government with the cooperation of its military and defense force, took hold of a competition to design and develop the first ever Rail Gun Tank Destroyer, mainly suited for long range support. This competition started in the year 2016, where several companies took part in this event and as a result only a few managed to be chosen. The FR company  with their FRX-23 Magma had been chosen for further development and testing. Impressed by how efficient it is using the FR-28 Chassis as it's base chassis/hull, their smart positioning of the rear mounted turret, and with their choice of a powerful engine, giving the vehicle good power-to-weight ratio! Lastly it is also fitted with advanced sensors, fire & control systems, and technical systems for further improvement on the vehicle's combat capability. This process of improving and developing the design took 1-2 years, currently being tested in the year 2019. The main concept for the FRX should act as role of a long range sniper, dealing heavy blows against even the most heavily armored tanks in the battlefield. Suspected year of entering into service is about an estimated 2-6 more years. Only one prototype had been built. It is suspected that the military will be ordering 120 of this vehicle. For now it will serve as a basis of a new warfare, one waging war from afar, striking fear to its foes without warning.

Expected ministries to be put into service: Masotanian Army & Masotanian Defense Force.

This was an old artwork I did 2 years ago!
And I just used medibang paint. Tho I do need more practise and yet I can't the motivation and inspiration to do it. It's been a rather unproductive time for me...

it's alright, sometimes we just need a break. You can't be full throttle all the time with inspiration or else you'll burnout. Draw whatever you feel like drawing in the moment or try other things too (art related or not).

Art blocks are usually signs of "You need to recover, go sleep!" You're doing great, I'm more impressed every time I see your work. =3=

those three road wheels are bothering me a little. Like their arms look so fragile as if a piece of shrapnel could break one of them
