The Árma is a main battle tank used by the Royal Arkianian Armed Forces. The tank was developed under the modernization and domestic production programs in the 1550s. It began development in 1560 and entered official service in 1574. Since then five main variants of the tank have been deployed. It was used extensively in the Arkianian-Achian War in 1588, as well as during the Achian Insurgency.
Design criteria included rapid repair of battle damage, survivability, off-road performance, and incline performance.
