Tankers of the Southern Military District (SMD) were trained at a training ground on modernized T-72B3M tanks. This was reported by the Ministry of Defense of Russia.
The tankers studied the characteristics and design of the vehicles, as well as mastered the basics of using tanks in combat conditions.
The crews also thoroughly studied tank driving, tactical interaction within a unit, and the use of weapons.
Special attention was paid to working with thermal imagers and night vision devices during the training.
Т-72Б3М is a modernized version of the Soviet T-72 tank, which forms the basis of the armored armament of the Russian Armed Forces. The combat vehicle features a V-92S2F engine with increased power of 1130 hp and an automatic transmission, which allows for faster reversing.
