Description
The Araljeka, colloquially known as the 'Skral' (since Araljeka is a mouthful to say), is the primary armoured personnel carrier and infantry fighting vehicle of the Tempian armed forces. Fast and highly mobile, it provides Tempian infantry with all round anti-personnel protection and can suppress or eliminate most hostile threats. Its frontal armour is also sufficiently strong to withstand lighter anti-armour weaponry so that it may survive on the dangerous front lines. With a gun that can elevate to near vertical and a number of ATGMs mounted on the sides of the turret, the Araljeka can engage a variety of targets in a wide range of environments and serves equally well supporting solely infantry or as part of an armoured push. The Araljeka's versatile chassis has been used for a number of variants including armoured reconnaissance vehicles, mortar carriers, SPAAGs, field ambulances, light tanks and mobile command posts.

Specifications:
Length: ~ 8 m
Height: ~ 3 m
Width: ~ 3.2 m
Weight: ~ 35 t
Crew: 3 (driver, gunner, commander) + 8 troops

Armour: Rated for modern anti-personnel weapons and light anti-armour. Composition and thickness classified.

Armament:
Main armament: Turret mounted ~ 50 mm auto-cannon with armour piercing plasma shells, Nightshroud ATGM (plasma shaped charge) mounted externally on turret (can mount up to four missiles).
Secondary armament: ~ .30 cal plasma machine gun in coaxial mount, 2x active projectile countermeasure system (mounted either side of turret), 8x smoke launchers, 7x firing ports for embarked infantry to use their own weapons (3x either side, 1x rear door).

Suspension: Torsion bar
Top speed: ~ 100 km/h off road
Engine: Classified
Operational range: Near indefinite excluding mechanical maintenance and crew endurance.

Because I'm lazy and I don't want to draw the same thing again but with a slightly different gun, Tenar and (Earth) Tempia also use this vehicle in the time period which would roughly correspond technologically with the 1990s-2010s albeit this version would be slightly smaller and more mundane weapons etc (Of course they don't use plasma guns in a modern day-esque period!)
