The vehicle received additional composite cladding for all projections of the turret, hull, and even the 2A46M-2 gun.

The material provides equivalent resistance, primarily against monoblock cumulative warheads. This solution reduces the tank's visibility in the infrared and radar ranges.

The T-64B tank is a modernized version of the T-64A combat vehicle, which began production in 1976. In 1985, a modification of the T-64BV tank appeared, featuring an updated fire control system and enhanced armor protection. At the time of its appearance, the T-64B was considered one of the most advanced in the world. It was on its base that the T-72 and T-80 tanks were later developed.

Earlier www1.ru reported that the latest 9M134 Bulat missile will increase the ATGM ammunition load by four times.
