There have been several upgrade packages since the Timberwolf's introduction to keep its technological edge in light of modern wartime experiences. | There have been several upgrade packages since the Timberwolf's introduction to keep its technological edge in light of modern wartime experiences. After additional development, the Type 2016 variant of the ''Madiodha'' was introduced, adding a smoke cannister, flare, and grenade-launching system to the turret for medium-range deployment of markers, concealment, and additional antipersonnel weaponry based on the loadout fitted by the crew. Several design edits to the hull, including internal compartmentalization and blowout sections, were made, and the Type 2016 was launched into full production to replace the shorter run of Type 2001s. | ||
The design of the Type 2016 variation was the subject of heated debate, as it originally featured a license of an advanced Caphirian active protection system, which violates the traditional ban on foreign electronics in Fhainnin weapons systems. The Type 2016s APS also suffered from programming issues when interfaced with the Madiodha, leading to many crews removing it to prevent misfires, leaving the Type 2016 mainly distinguished by its reactive armor blocks. | The design of the Type 2016 variation was the subject of heated debate, as it originally featured a license of an advanced Caphirian active protection system, which violates the traditional ban on foreign electronics in Fhainnin weapons systems.

The Type 2024 introduced an entirely native-manufacture APS as well as an updated version of the passive electronic countermeasures and the rearrangement of reactive plating. | The Type 2024 introduced an entirely native-manufacture APS as well as an updated version of the passive electronic countermeasures and the rearrangement of reactive plating. Additionally, its grenade system was replaced a larger purpose-built variant for firing flares, mine detonation cord, and launching some launch-deployed variants of light drone and loitering munitions; the antipersonnel function of the launcher was replaced with a pintle-mounted machine gun. Both the 2016 and 2024 received command variants, while the 2016 additionally has an engineering variant with bridging and dedicated mine-clearing packages. The 2024 additionally has an advance heavy recovery variant in development. | ||
