Vostok Group of Forces receives a batch of modernised T-72B3M tanks

The tank units of the Vostok Group of Forces have received another batch of the latest military hardware. The crews have already started running-in the vehicles at firing ranges in the rear areas of the Donetsk People's Republic. After the inspection, the combat vehicles will be sent to the line of contact, where they will neutralise AFU military personnel, hardware, and fortifications.

The T-72B3M (https://t.me/mod_russia_en/8617) is a deeply modernised version of the T-72 main battle tank. Among the advantages of the new combat vehicle are: more powerful engines, automatic gearbox, improved fire control system with digital ballistic calculator, sight with laser rangefinder and anti-tank missile control system, digital communications equipment of the latest generation. In addition, to facilitate reversing, the tanks are equipped with a rear view camera, and more reliable caterpillar tracks have been installed. The armour of the T-72B3M has been reinforced with onboard screens with Relikt dynamic protection modules, hinged lattice screens, as well as new dynamic protection systems. The new protection makes it possible to significantly increase the survivability and effectiveness of the armoured vehicle not only in general but warfare, but also during combat operations with massive use of anti-tank weapons.
