Russian military personnel modified a T-72 tank that had its gun damaged. The turret was removed from the heavy combat vehicle, and steel sheets were welded on top. Now the tank can be used to transport infantry, who, along with the crew, are reliably protected. The military calls these combat vehicles \"Tsar-Mangal.\"
Additionally, the chassis of the damaged tank was protected with special screens and equipped with a mine trawl.
It is worth noting that Western military analysts highly appreciate the protection of the \"tsar-mangals.\" They note that the modified combat vehicles are not afraid of FPV drones.
As a reminder, the T-72 is a Soviet and Russian main battle tank. It was produced at Uralvagonzavod from 1973 to 2005. The engine power of the B-46 is 780 horsepower. The range over rough terrain is up to 850 kilometers.
The tank was equipped with a 125-mm smoothbore gun 2A46, as well as a 12.7-mm Nikitin-Sokolov-Volkov tank machine gun (NSVT) and a 7.62-mm Kalashnikov machine gun. The crew of the combat vehicle consists of three people.
