The YT-2 Gavial is a tank destroyer in service with the Inyurstan Army. It is based on the IAV-90 chassis, and carries the largest gun of any non-artillery vehicle in the Inyurstan Armed Forces, the L/55 length 120mm smoothbore. Its primary round is the N50A3 Armor-Piercing Fin-Stabilized Discarding Sabot (APFSDS), a high-mass fifth-generation penetrator comparable to the US M829A4. A small number of multipurpose M830 HEAT shells are carried, and the YT-2H is planned to carry N62E1 SONIC smart shells as well. A total of 30 rounds of ammo can be carried internally.
