The The JiResh-2 is a rarity among MarkResh tanks, as it is small, affordable and speedy, with less armour, but greater range. It has two weapons of note, an armour piercing high power 90mm HKO/I-6 (Predator) Gun, capable of tearing through even the heaviest armour. Designed primarily as a bunker buster and long range combat tank it is even more effective in the thick of the action. The slanted plates deflect most of the hits, but that is not its primary aim, its hull mounted 50 mm SASW-8, is a machine-cannon, it can lay down heavy supression fire, capable or tearing a tank apart.
