The RT-8 "Berggeit" (English: "mountain goat") was a successful light tank design in the Kooplieden Armed Forces' RT-series developed for use in mountainous and terrain typically inaccessible to tanks. It was lightly armed and armoured, but its ease of maintenance, good manoeuvrability, high speed, and good climbing performance meant that it was the most common tank used by the Kooplieden Monarchy Preservation Corps in the Anwnn Civil War.
