Czechoslovak engineering tanks VT-72b appeared on the Ukrainian army armed with the Ukrainian army: what is known

The Czech Republic and Slovakia do not use VT-72b, but probably handed them to Ukraine. It also turned out that such machines are in the Russian army. The VT-72B engineering machine was built in the Ukrainian army, which was built on the T-72 tank. It was made in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Forbes reports. The VT-72B engineering tank was a Czech product. Such machines have noticed the armed armed forces of Ukraine, although the publication states that almost no one is using them in the world.

The Czech Republic uses several upgraded VT-72M, which uses two crew members. But the VT-72b Czech Republic and Slovakia do not use them. In 2014, the Czech Republic transferred a certain amount of VT-72b to Ukraine, probably some of them are still in order. The engineering tanks will be useful for Ukraine, because part of the engineering equipment was lost during the months of a full -scale war. They are especially useful in situations where damaged equipment is left on the battlefield.

It can be returned to the system, and this requires evacuation, and this requires armored repair and evacuation machines. The publication states that the VT-72b has a winch for evacuation, a 19-ton crane and a bulldozer dump. By its capabilities, the tank is similar to the German Bergpanze, American M-88 and British Challenger ARV. More interesting, this is that the VT-72b also noticed the armed Russian army. The Czech Republic and Slovakia are supporters of Ukraine.

The Russian army has hundreds of different machines for repair and evacuation in its arsenal. And it was little aware of whether they had VT-72b. And the fact that the occupiers try to return to the system all Brem should not be surprised, because the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation lost about 300 units of engineering equipment, the authors summarized. Recall that on July 28, the media wrote that the US would send the first Abrams tanks in September.
