Though slower and shorted ranged than the TAV-85P, the TAV-85J with the addition of the third generator and a powered turret with 360 o traverse, mounting the more powerful RG51HV gun offered a significant improvement in performance equalling the original THOR program. First used operationally in "Operation Cyclops", a single TAV-85J squadron stopped the resupply of the Blitzstaffel.
