Military hardware
Military hardware
Kantanka is alleged to have manufactured military hardware such as armoured personnel carriers, tanks, and helicopters. However these devices appear to use fireworks as their primary weapons system. They have also developed combat exoskeletons, which appear to function more as costume props than true weapons systems. Kantanka launched an armoured vehicle with rangefinder in the 2018 Annual Technology Show at Apostle Safo School of Arts and Sciences. The Kantanka range of military vehicles includes both air and ground vehicles, as well as infantry equipment.
