The Croatian M-95 Degman is a prototype MBT based on the Vihor prototype tank, which in itself was a Yugoslavian attempt to upgrade the M-84 Main Battle Tank (a Yugoslavian version of the Soviet T-72M). In reality, the Vihor MBT had almost nothing to do with any T-72 model and was truly an ambitious and After the breakup of Yugoslavia, both Croatia and Serbia inherited elements of the Vihor program. Serbia did not continue developing the Vihor program, but Croatia did and the result was the M-95 Degman.
The Degman was a good MBT for its time, but in the early 2000s, Croatia did not have the money to start a full-scale tank production despite the Yugoslav era facilities. As a result, only two prototypes of this tank were built and paid for. Seeing the situation, the developing company offered the Degman to potential foreign buyers, especially Kuwait. The biggest marketed advantage was the modularity of this vehicle. Many different options could be installed, including a different gun.
Unfortunately, the Degman did not find any foreign customers either and remained a prototype only. However, the development time spent on it was not wasted as the company that designed it decided to retrofit the older M-84 series tanks (including the Snajper) with Degman elements (especially the ERA, the FCS and the 1.200hp engine), resulting in a variant called M-84D. These upgraded M-84 tanks should form the backbone of the Croatian armored forces in the future.

This MBT's front is protected by composite armor. Composite armor consists of combined layers of steel and other material and offers excellent protection against HEAT shells and ATGMs. Its steel sides and rear are considerably more vulnerable. The second generation ERA kit offers excellent protection against standard HEAT rounds or warheads, and marginal protection against kinetic rounds. |
