At the exercises in Algeria, the T-72s, modernized with the help of Russia, were demonstrated.

Currently, the army of this North African state, along with modern T-90SA, continues to operate more than 300 combat vehicles of this model. They have proven themselves as simple and reliable tanks.

However, most of them were purchased back in the 80s, and in the new century, some characteristics are significantly outdated. For example, the installed sights do not have sufficient accuracy and have significant limitations for actions in night conditions.

Therefore, the updated samples are equipped with multi-channel sights "Sosna-U" with a built-in thermal imager, which allow you to fight in the dark almost as effectively as during the day. At the same time, the previously main TPD-1K was not dismantled, but left as a backup.

In addition, it became possible to use guided ammunition guns that can hit targets at a range of more than 5,000 meters.

Also, the crew commanders received TKN-4S sights, which allow them to duplicate the actions of the gunner-operator. The drivers were provided with new TVN-5 devices.

The protection of tanks is increased by installing sensors that record laser radiation, and equipment for creating aerosol curtains. More advanced means of communication have been introduced.

In this guise, the T-72 can compete with other modern tanks for many years to come.
