The Nineveh II is a rubber-wheeled main battle tank, that was proposed for the battle of Mosul back in December 2016. Named after ancient Iraq, it was developed in the Netherlands, while the rest in Iraqi Kurdistan.

Specifications
The Nineveh II main battle tank, has a 3.0 L J2 inline-four diesel, also capable of running on multi-fuel. The engine was removed out of a 2002 KIA K3000 in South Korea, and shipped to the Netherlands upon the designer's request. Upon arrival, it was converted to run on multi-fuel. The engine is connected to Hybrid Synergy Drive out of a Toyota Prius. The designer, Idris Mustafa al-Zakhoyi, an immigrant from Iraqi Kurdistan living in Rotterdam, said that he made his tank hybrid because of lower fuel consumption. The tank has five cameras around it, three on front, one in the machine gun and one at the rear. It also has BEKO LCD TV, one in front of the driver, and the other in front of the gunman.

Journey to Mosul
The tank began its journey from the Netherlands, proceeding through Germany, Austria, Hungary, Serbia, Bulgaria, Turkey and Iraqi Kurdistan. On tank's Turkey leg, it passed through the Bosphorus via the newly-opened Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge, then proceeding through Gebze, Adapazarı, Düzce, Bolu, Ankara, Gölbaşı, Şereflikoçhisar, Aksaray, Ulukışla, Pozantı, Tarsus, Adana, Gaziantep, Urfa, Nusaybin, Cizre, Silopi and Khabur.
