Techno Police 21C

The plot revolves around a chase involving a hijacked MBT-99A tank, designed by the United States Air Force. The tank carries six ATGM launchers, three on each side of the turret, and a laser-based machine-gun-like installation, in addition to its main rifled gun. The tank's treads are dual-mounted, making four sets of treads in total. The laser, however, seems counterproductive to a machine-gun's mission, as it can only fire once every few seconds. If it can fire at higher rates, it does not do so and tries to acquire a lock on its pursuer (Blader, in this case). This suggests a low ammunition capacity, unlike thousand-round-and-up machine-guns routinely mounted on modern tanks. It does not appear to have any effect on the road, either, which does not say much about its power. Another tank involved is the MBT-90D, dispatched by the Army (or Air Force—the movie never makes it clear if it is a joint effort, although the general who arrives midway into the movie is shown riding in something resembling an ADATS) to take out the tank. Despite having at least a platoon of these, the MBT-99 still evades capture. The M-90Ds are armed with a three-barreled autocannon, the caliber of which may be around fifteen to twenty millimeters. The MBT-90D is equipped with three ATGM missile launchers on the left side of the turret, and its main cannon is mounted on the front, instead of on a turret. After the MBT-99's hijackers (who appear inside the tank after getting away from a recently-committed bank robbery), hired by a shadowy group backed by a foreign nation seeking an edge in their military (the M-99 is presumably on its way to be tested at a separate base), are forced out by Ken and his team, Eleanor enters to study the tank, and it starts up on its own, having been programmed by the hijackers to head for a pier and drive off its end so as to rendezvous with an enemy submarine. The rest of the movie is made up of the chase through the city, resulting in the destruction of another bank (owned by the same corporation that built the first bank in the movie), and various collateral damage.
