"The Polish Company Obrum presented for the first time during the Defense Exhibition 2010, his new tracked armoured platform the "ANDERS", as a technological demonstrator. The chassis and the turret are designed by Obrum. The final vehicle will be produced by the Polish Defense Company Bumar. A two man turret is mounted to the centre of the chassis, armed with a RUAG 120 mm gun and a remotely weapon station armed with a 12.7 mm machine gun. At the rear of the vehicle, there is a crew compartment with seats for four soldiers. The ANDERS has a total weight of 33,000 kg. The ANDERS is motorized with an MTU engine, which allows the vehicle to run at a maximum speed of 70 km/h."

It looks like Poland has come up with their own version of the Merkava. A little smaller and a lot lighter though.
