Recognition notes
The KBO-7B is a 20-ton scout that fights at stand-off range, cruising at 76 km/h and topping out near 119, a field refit of the 3059 KBO-7A striker. Where the KBO-7A carries a pair of Streak SRM 4 launchers in the torsos, this configuration mounts a Light PPC in the left torso and another in the right torso. The heat-sink count rises from 10 to 11 single sinks to cope with the swap, and the airframe otherwise carries over the same endo steel structure and standard armor. As a field refit it is assembled at various sites rather than a single dedicated plant.
