The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation received "Others" T-90 and T-72: what were changed in the tanks of the weapons in 2023 (photo)

What changes could be made in armored vehicles is said in Bulgarian Military of December 28. First of all, the observers noted that instead of the wording "significantly revised" it is appropriate to say that the T-90m tanks "shed" and T-72B3M was made with small changes in the design compared to the analogues of 2022 The conflict in Ukraine was not clearly explained by the Russian production department, " - experts say.

However, changes in the design of armored vehicles are still related to the circumstances that have occurred on the battlefield. Russian tanks were equipped with additional elements of dynamic protection. In this case, the protection layer was extremely dense, they were so concentrated that even the crew hatches were laid by these blocks. The purpose of such a design is obvious-to enhance the protection of the upper projection of the tank from possible attacks by FPV-aid threats.

"It is noteworthy that this additional safety measure is almost completely hiding the protective coating of the tanks. How tightly located these protective blocks, even on the hatches of the tower, closed mesh screens, catches the eye," experts emphasize. In 2023, the importance of Kamikadze drone on the battlefield increased, so Uralvagonzavod improved its T-90 and T-72 tanks, installing mobile systems for defense against drones.

It was reported that the company allegedly developed an advanced drone protection system, called "protection", although no specific evidence was presented. If you believe the representatives of Roselectronik, a modernized system of "Zashchita" can boast an increased maximum range of detection of UAV control signals, expanded from 6 to 8 GHz with a minimum range of 300 MHz.

The system is designed to detect a wide range of drones, and it allegedly remains imperceptible to the radars of the enemy and the radio interruption that is not acceptable. In this case, the range of 24 -hour suppression reaches 4 km. Another potential solution is the tank version of the system of detection and counteraction to Sapsan-Becas. It was developed by the Automation concern, which is also part of the State Corporation of Rostekh.

This complex consists of subsystems: radio exploration, dialeration, active radar, video and opto-electronic tracking with thermal imaging channel, as well as a subsystem of radio suppression. There is a wide range of frequencies - from 400 MHz to 6 GHz. In 2022, not every tank in the Russian arsenal was equipped with high -quality active protection.

However, in 2023, Uralvagonzavod stated that from the middle of the year he would start to equip his tanks T-90M and T-72 allegedly the best active protection technology-"Afghanite". "Afghanite" is the advanced Russian development. It is a system of active protection of tanks from direct rockets and shells. The system uses a combination of sensors, radars and high -speed guns to detect and neutralize the approaching shells before they come into contact with the tank.

Designed for working together with other protective mechanisms, in particular with dynamic protection, "Afghanite" has the ability to withstand several threats within a radius of 50 meters. The idea of ​​such characteristics should give tanks a significant advantage in city battles, where tanks are often near buildings and other structures.

When it comes to "slightly different" T-90M and T-72 tanks in 2023, it is important to note the improvement in their ammunition, especially in those used in the Russian T-90M tank. Unlike 2022, Russian officials have stated that the T-90M would use innovative fragmentation shells. It is probably about the ammunition "Ternyk", which was spoken by the commander of the Russian Land Forces General of the Army Oleg Salukov.

According to him, these shells contain pre -laid sub -cores and programmed to break in the air in a given place at the rate. Despite all the improvements listed above, the new occupiers' technique continues to burn on the Ukrainian Front. The network has repeatedly experienced the destruction of Ukrainian fighters of hostile equipment, including the latest Russian tanks of T-90m "Breakthrough". Recall that one of the last such cases was recorded under Avdiivka.
