Even before 2014, Uralvagonzavod in the Sverdlovsk region and Omsktransmash was released in Siberia with the sights of the Osna-U gunner. One of the main components of sights is the thermal imagers of the French firm Thales. But, after the introduction of sanctions of the Russian Federation, she lost the opportunity to buy French thermal imagers. Therefore, Moscow had to get the old T-62, T-72 and T-80 tanks from conservation to install 1PN96MT-02 1970s.
However, as journalists noted, the network appeared that the T-80BM-30 tanks with new sights "Pine-U" left the tank of T-80BM-30 from the Omsktransmash plant. However, it is assumed that it may be another optical PNM-T system based on Russian components. The publication noted that it is likely that the Russian Federation has found a way to bypass sanctions and again buy Western thermal imagers for tanks.
"In any case, it is obvious that the Russian industry now supplies new tanks with modern optics," the material said. As they have suggested in the publication, these reserves can also end. Then the Russian Federation will again have to get old tanks from storage, which cannot fire at a long distance. Earlier it was reported that in Russia make photon drones, "invisible" for the HR.
