The Ikv-92 is a Dnieguan Light Tank, formerly produced by the Dnieguan state owned Denpryst Machinefabriken, currently in use with the Dnieguan Armed Forces in limited numbers. Developed in the mid-1970s to equipt airborne brigades, Naval Infantry, and provide organic fire support to Infantry units, the Ikv-92 was a fast, mobile combat vehicle that accompanied every Dnieguan combat unit in some capacity for the duration of its service, and has become an icon of the Dnieguan military. Replaced in most major roles by the larger, heavier troop carrying Ikv-121, the Ikv-92 remains in service in Dnieguas Homeguard, Airborne forces, and Marines in limited roles. With over 2200 pieces produced, the Ikv-92 saw service in every conflict Dniegua engaged in since it's introduction, and has seen exportation to several nations. Nicknamed "Bazal", after a popular Dnieguan cartoon Badger, the Ikv-92 was designed to meat operational requirements of the Dnieguan army as a "infantry support weapon", able to manuver quickly with IFVs and APCs, and provide native support using it's Husqvarna produced 90mm rifled gun, which could fire a full compartment of ammunition of HEAT, HE, HE-FRAG, and APFSDS. Protected against small arms, shrapnel, and most autocannons, the Ikv-92 proved to have favorable protection and mobility owing to it's powerful Volvo straight-six turbodiesel engine.
