shah-goh-hohd
After a long time, the name for the new Metal
Gear unit in Metal Gear Solid 3 : Snake
Eater is confirmed. Shagohod is its name, once and for all.
Shagohod is a massive, somewhat-bipedal tank, capable of operating on any land on the planet. The crown jewel of the Shagohod, however, is its nuclear capabilities; it is equipped with a massive turret designed to launch an SS-
20 Saber-Class nuclear missile. Other than its nuclear capability, the Shagohod is the missing
link between infantry and artillery, and given MGS3's setting, the Shagohod's deployment ultimately means the end of the Cold
War, the end of nuclear deterrence, and thus, World
War III.
