As for physical details, well, leave that to their collective imaginations.So, almost like the RSD-10 Pioneer/SS-20 Saber?

"Move out and draw fire" might have worked thirty years ago but that practice might not go as well today. That said, "Reconnaissance by fire" should still be on the menu. There is also the larger ammunition selection to consider such as actual HE rounds in addition to HEAT, WP, APDS, APFSDS. The ammunition stocks are also plentiful and that could make a real difference.

The small fin at the rear of the Sabre looks like a simple solution to the stability issues that the forward mounted electronics pod would have created. Simple and effective.
