Ithangi lempi elikhulu i-TAM I-TAM - I-Argentina Medium Tank. Inkontileka yokwakha ithangi le-TAM (Tenye Ai-rgentino Mediano - ithangi eliphakathi lase-Argentina) lasayinwa phakathi kwenkampani yaseJalimane i-Thyssen Henschel nohulumeni wase-Argentina ekuqaleni kwawo-70s. Ithangi lokuqala elikhanyayo elakhiwe nguThyssen Henschel lahlolwa ngo-1976. I-TAM kanye nezimoto zokulwa nezinsana zakhiqizwa e-Argentina kusukela ngo-1979 kuya ku-1985. Ngokuvamile, kwakuhlelwe ukudala izimoto ezingu-500 (amathangi angu-200 kanye nezimoto zokulwa nezinsana ezingu-300), kodwa ngenxa yezinkinga zezezimali, lesi sibalo sancishiswa saba ngamathangi alula angu-350 kanye nezimoto zokulwa nezinsana. Ukwakhiwa kwethangi le-TAM kusikhumbuza kakhulu imoto yokulwa yamasosha aseJalimane iMarder. I-hull kanye ne-turret zishiselwe ngamapuleti ensimbi. Izikhali ezingaphambili ze-hull kanye ne-turret zivikelekile kumagobolondo okubhoboza izikhali ezingama-40-mm, izikhali eziseceleni zivikelekile ezibhamuni ngezinhlamvu. Isibhamu esikhulu yinganono engu-105 mm. Kumasampula okuqala, kwafakwa inganono yase-West German 105.30, kwase kuba inganono eyakhiwe yi-Argentina, kodwa kuzo zombili izimo zonke izinhlamvu ezijwayelekile ezingu-105-mm zingasetshenziswa. Isibhamu sine-ejector efutha umgqomo kanye nesivikelo sokushisa. Izinzile ezindizeni ezimbili. Isibhamu somshini esingu-7,62 mm saseBelgium, esinikezwe ilayisense e-Argentina, sibhangqwe nenganono. Isibhamu somshini esifanayo sifakwe ophahleni njengesibhamu esilwa nendiza. Kunezinhlamvu eziyizi-6000 zezibhamu ezingomshini. Ukubuka nokudubula, umkhuzi wamathangi usebenzisa i-panoramic sight ye-TRR-2A engagxilile enokukhuliswa izikhathi eziyisi-6 kuye kwezingu-20, efana nokubona komkhuzi wethangi le-Leopard-1, i-optical rangefinder kanye nemishini engu-8 yeprism. Esikhundleni sokubukwa kwe-panoramic, ukubona kwe-infrared kungafakwa. Umdubuli, osihlalo sakhe siphambi nangaphansi kwesihlalo somkhuzi, unombono we-Zeiss T2P onokukhulisa okungu-8x. I-hull kanye ne-turret yethangi zishiselwe ezimbanjeni zensimbi ezigoqiwe futhi zinikeza ukuvikeleka ezimbanjeni ezizenzakalelayo (kufika ku-40 mm). Okunye ukwenyuka kokuvikela kungafinyelelwa ngokusebenzisa izikhali ezengeziwe. Isici sethangi le-TAM indawo emaphakathi ye-MTO namasondo okushayela, kanye nesistimu yokupholisa yeyunithi yokudlulisela injini engxenyeni engemuva yesikebhe. I-control compartment ingaphambili kwesokunxele engxenyeni ye-hull, futhi umshayeli usebenzisa isiteringi sendabuko ukushintsha indlela yokuhamba. Ngemuva kwesihlalo sakhe ngaphansi kwe-hull kune-hatch ephuthumayo, ngaphezu kwalokho, enye i-hatch abasebenzi abangaphuma ngayo uma kunesidingo itholakala eshidini le-aft hull, ngenxa yokubekwa ngaphambili kwe-MTO, umbhoshongo uguqulelwe ku-aft hull sheet. ingemuva. Kuyo, umlawuli wamathangi kanye nomdubuli bangakwesokudla, umlayishi ngakwesobunxele senganono. Ku-turret niche, amashothi angama-20 apakishwe ku-cannon, amanye amashothi angama-30 afakwa ku-hull.
