«Увернулся от FPV-дрона»: российский военнослужащий рассказал о повышенной маневренности танка Т-72Б3

The combat vehicle was modernized at UVZ

T-72B3 tanks underwent a deep modernization at Uralvagonzavod (UVZ, part of Rostec). Specialists updated almost all systems, resulting in improved maneuverability of combat vehicles and increased firepower, the state corporation's press service reported.

Т-72Б3

Features of the T-72B3 tank:

  • new power plant with increased power
  • rear view camera
  • digital communication system
  • display complex for the driver-mechanic
  • additional protection module 
  • fire control system with automatic target tracking
We work with high-explosive fragmentation and cumulative projectiles. Closed firing positions are most effective for tanks. We support the infantry. Once, an enemy FPV drone was flying towards us, the driver-mechanic noticed it and performed a maneuver. The tank dodged, and the drone crashed into the ground and exploded. We evade, everything is fine.
