Description
An Experimental Armored Fighting Vehicle (or AFV) developed by the VB Tank Development Company Main Branch, along with the VBS and CL tank companies to manufacture the essential parts of the VBM1 for production. The XVBM1 mounts a powerful auto-cannon and ATGM launcher, capable enough of creating a powerful ambush run that could destroy several MBTs in one well planned attack.

Type: AFV - Armored Fighting Vehicle
Crew: 3-4
- commander
- driver
- engineer (gunner)
- loader
Hull armor (consists of lightweight titanium and aluminum composite armor) (added spaced armor and ERA reactive plating)
Front: 56mm
(effective armor thickness 290mm)
Sides: 45mm
(effective armor thickness 260mm)
Rear: 37mm
(effective armor thickness 254mm)
Turret armor (consists of both a thin layer of aluminum and titanium composite armor) (added only spaced armor)
Front: 55mm
(effective armor thickness 205mm)
Sides: 45mm
(effective armor thickness 186mm)
Rear: 38mm
(effective armor thickness 145mm)
Armament: 1x VBGH 45mm auto-cannon (20 per salvo)
1x medium-ranged VG34-S2D ATGM launcher
Maximum ammo capacity: 145 shells 12 ATGMs
Ammunition type (for the auto-cannon): Armor-Piercing Discarding Sabot and High Explosive Incendiary.
Powerplant: gas turbine 650hp M65V12EG engine
Suspension: advanced (and yet simple) wheeled suspension and transmission systems

History: The Ministry of Defense needed a reliable and newly dated Armored Fighting Vehicles not only to carry out important reconnaissances missions in future conflicts, but also to provide support for the M.S. Army and other of its important allies, such as The Republic of Aliston. VB took the initiative and made their own design calling it the Foxhound as it is fast, silent, and deadly. Development immediately started one month after in the year 2015, drafting several 2D designs on paper for the new VBM1 Foxhound. They've decided to structurally design it's hull in a V shape, to further protect it's crew against land mine explosions and designed it with an unmanned turret (which would be remotely controlled by the engineer) to further improve it's crew protection. The vehicle is also equipped with several lightweight reactive armor plating and spaced armor packages in total giving the vehicle a heavy weight and greater immunity towards HEAT and other tank ammunition, but to compensate with the heavy weight, they gave the vehicle a powerful gas turbine 650hp M65V12EG engine, giving it greater speed and power-to-weight ratio. Although the 45mm VBGH auto-cannon is not enough to completely destroy enemy tanks, it is enough to bruise the enemy MBTs and destroy lightly armored vehicles with half of its single salvo. One prototype had been built in 2018, after rigorous testing and problems with it's engines and unmanned turret gave them a one year delay from it's production to rectify the problems. The official design finally came out in 2019. Went through extensive testing, and was proven successful for it's role. Used mainly as a scout and recon, but still proved effective. Only 650 vehicles were produced so far by three companies in a joint and unified contract.

Produced by: VB, VBS, and CL tank companies.
Produced in total: 650
