The T2 Toro (Sylvan for Bull) is an Idacuan main battle tank based on the Menghean JCh-6. After receiving a batch of JCh-6Gs from Menghe, the Idacuan government was so satisfied with the tank's performance that it expressed the desire to make a local variant of the vehicle. The project was approved, and after the prototype trials, serial production began in 2010 with the baseline T2 model. The project spawned two more upgraded variants, the T2M1 and T2M2, the latter of which entered service in 2018. Currently, the T2 serves as the Idacuan Revolutionary Army's frontline main battle tank, with over 400 units in service.
