{{Post-Cold War tanks}}
The '''M-95 ''Degman''''' is a prototype [[Croatia]]n [[main battle tank]], developed by the ''[[Đuro Đaković (factory)|Đuro Đaković]]'' company. It is a modernization of the [[Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia|Yugoslav]] [[M-84]] tank, which is, in turn, a variant of the [[Soviet Union|Soviet]] [[T-72]]. The Đuro Đaković factory is best known for its principal role in the production of M-84 in the Yugoslav era.
The principal improvement over its predecessor M-84 is the application of spaced composite/laminate armor on top of which explosive reactive armor was added, hull front and side skirts are covered giving that extra protection against [[HEAT]] shaped-charge munitions. A separate ammunition bustle compartment at the back of the turret adds protection for the crew if tank is hit from behind, and added protection is given by additional slat armor in form of wire mesh with chains, main purpose being to prevent any rocket propelled grenades that might be used to penetrate weakest points at the back of the tank.
Đuro Đaković [[thermal imaging]] allows enhanced night activity and optional {{convert|1200|hp|abbr=on}} engine, which increases the power-to-weight ratio to approximately 27 hp/t. There are numerous smaller changes in [[Fire-control system|fire control]], communications equipment, track etc. The Degman's autoloader is 15% faster meaning 9 shells can be fired in a single minute instead of 8 shells, which is M84 norm.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.hrbi.hr/_images/files/izdavastvo_52.pdf | title=A Holistic Approach To The Tank Development | author=Bartol Jerković |author2=Živko Ilijevski | format=PDF | accessdate=2008-02-25}}</ref>
The Degman M-95 has not entered serial production yet, however two prototypes were ordered by the [[Croatian Government]], a M-95 model and the other M-84D sample (for export). Đuro Đaković is going to be producing the export version the '''[[M-84D]]''' (essentially an M-84A4 with significant upgrades) for Kuwait and other potential buyers. The Kuwaiti Army has confirmed interest in modernizing its 149 dated M-84 to the new M-84D standard, as well as the procurement of an additional 66 new M-84D's.<ref>{{cite news | url = http://www.poslovni.hr/39458.aspx | title = Đuro Đaković radit će 65 novih tenkova za Kuvajt? | newspaper = [[Poslovni dnevnik]] | date=12 April 2007 | first=Saša | last=Vejnović | language=Croatian | accessdate=2008-02-25}}</ref>
==History, production and modernization==
The M-95 Degman tank was largely based on the older M-90 Vihor tank. A full working prototype of the Vihor tank completed basic testing at the Đuro Đaković factory but due the hostilities in mid-1991 this tank was never delivered to [[Yugoslav People's Army|JNA]]. Đuro Đaković was already working on a second prototype (at this point the hull had been completed) but due to the hostilities work on the second Vihor prototype stalled until 1994 when it was completed with the new turret.
Meanwhile, the first prototype was upgraded and modernized, a more powerful 1200 hp engine was installed which provided a higher power-to-weight ratio. A storage basket and slat armor at the back of the turret were added, increasing armour protection. A [[Racal]] [[communication]] suite was installed to improve communications range and [[Digital data|digital]] [[battle]]field compatibility and a new [[CBRN]] suite was also added, the SZ 2000 [[CBRN]] suite giving substantially superior performance over the older NBC suite used on M-84 tank; for example, in nuclear or chemical/biological warfare situations, SZ-2000 shuts the engines down and automatically filters fresh air into the tank.
The [[Optics]] and [[fire control system]] was developed by Fotona, a [[Slovenia]]n company, and now comes as standard on all current Croatian and Slovene M-84 tanks. The Vihor/M95 tank received new laser range finder, LIRD-4B - a laser irradiation warning system. A Fotona/[[KONČAR Group|Končar]]/Đuro Đaković digital battlefield computer has also been added to improve battlefield performance. [[Walter Stuart Diehl|Diehl]] provided new tracks giving the tank better performance both on and off road.
This project received considerable assistance from Elbit of [[Israel]]. [[Explosive Reactive Armor]] developed by [[Elbit]] is one major upgrade and gives a distinctive look to the M95 tank. Rafael - [[Samson Remote Controlled Weapon Station]] which consist of a 12.7mm calibre heavy machine gun and 40mm grenade launcher is another upgrade. This Remote Controlled Weapon Station acts also as the commander's independent thermal viewer. Additional upgrades are planned, including a new 120mm compact gun developed by [[RUAG]] Defence of [[Switzerland]] and few additional defensive and ECM systems including [[LAHAT]] anti tank missiles.
