The Hegedüs KT3 Konnik is a Ruvelkan self-propelled tank destroyer developed and manufactured by the Hegedüs Conglomerate. The Konnik was created to meet the requirements of the Ruvelkan Armed Forces to find a sufficient replacement for their aged KT2 Lancers. In contrast to Hegedüs’ previous project, the KH2 Ghost, the Konnik is light and air-mobile; however it is still capable of engaging and defeating tanks and hard-skinned vehicles. The main armament of the Konnik is capable of firing APFSDS, HE-Frag, HEAT, and ATGM ammunition. Due to its light weight, the Konnik is both very maneuverable and amphibious at the cost of light armor protection.
