Minsk

The Minsk is a 70-ton sniper that trades reach for a pair of Gauss rifles, one in each arm, backing them with a mixed close-in battery of SRM 6 racks, small pulse lasers, and machine guns split between the torsos, plus an LRM 10 in the left torso. Where the 2830 MNK-101 was built on mixed Inner Sphere and Clan technology, this 2862 rework runs pure Clan-built components throughout, and it adds an Inner Sphere anti-personnel pod in each leg alongside the active probe in the right torso. Cruising speed holds at 32 km/h with a top speed of 54, modest for a machine carrying this much armament, and the ferro-fibrous armor and endo steel structure carry over from the original. Arcadia BattleMech Plant CM-T02 builds it at Arcadia (West).
