2+13
Max. Speed:
65 kp/h
Armament:
12.7mm machine gun
The "Safe" was ordered for the safe transport of infantry units through battle areas with safety.  It earned its name since it quite literally is a metal box, nearly impenetrable without heavier fire from tanks.  It has a single roof-mounted machine gun for protection against other infantry and for cover fire for friendly infantry

Effective altitude: 4000m
Horizontal movement: 360 deg.
Vertical movement: -10~87 deg
Rate of fire: 440~480 rounds/min
The "Tiger" was developed using captured Abacon military technology during the war.  They weigh slightly more than their Abacon counterpart, but make up for it with the 37mm guns over the usual 25mm.  It's at the cutting edge of non-rocket based mobile anti-aircraft technology in the Union, sporting advanced computer tracking systems.
