Russian T-72B3M and T-90M tanks are being serially equipped with Arena-M active protection systems (APS), according to a representative of Uralvagonzavod (UVZ, part of Rostec).
Previously, the factory installation of this type of protection on the T-72B3 had not been reported. Only in the fall of 2023, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation patented a T-72B3 tank model with the Arena-M APS installed on it.
Prior to this, the High-Precision Systems holding noted that the Arena-M as part of the T-72 tank had confirmed its effectiveness during tests with both Russian anti-tank missile systems and foreign trophy systems.
The system is designed to protect against anti-tank grenades and anti-tank guided missiles. The Arena-M includes a radar station with high noise immunity, and uses narrowly focused protective ammunition with high speed and placed around the perimeter of the tank turret in special mounting shafts for targeted destruction of projectiles.
Earlier www1.ru reported that Rostec Showed All Domestic Engines for Advanced Helicopters and Aircraft.
