The day before, Uralvagonzavod sent the Russian military another batch of modernized T-72B3M and T-90M tanks of the 2024 model. Military expert Evgeny Damantsev pointed out the shortcomings in the protection system of combat vehicles.
The analyst drew attention to the fact that the T-72B3M, in addition to the "stock" anti-cumulative-anti-drone "visors", received anti-cumulative-anti-drone "burdocks" of the rear projection of the turret.
Unfortunately, despite all the field tests, the vehicles are still not equipped with modernized KAZ "Arena-M".
The "Arena-M" includes a radar station (RLS) with high noise immunity, an on-board computer and special ammunition installed in the mines around the perimeter of the tank turret.
The radar detects an enemy projectile, anti-tank missile or grenade aimed at the tank, calculates their trajectory and fires a protective ammunition that destroys the target in flight with a beam of damaging elements.
"Arena-M" provides tanks and crews with many times higher protection against enemy hand-held anti-tank weapons, including AT4, CS, HP grenade launchers, as well as the NLAW short-range anti-tank missile system (ATGM).
Earlier www1.ru reported that the Ministry of Defense demanded to recover almost a million rubles from Voentorg in a new lawsuit.
