By the end of this year, the Guards Tank Division of the Central Military District will receive 30 modern T-72B3M tanks with improved combat characteristics. This was announced by the commander of the Central Military District, Colonel-General Alexander Lapin.

According to him, in comparison with previous versions, these combat vehicles are distinguished by a more powerful engine, an improved set of weapons, aiming and control.

Recall that the T-72 is the main battle tank of the Ground Forces. Several modifications have been created on its basis in recent decades. In the "B3M" variant, the car was first demonstrated in 2018 at the international military-technical forum "Army". It is known that the tank is equipped with a new diesel engine with a capacity of 1130 horsepower, a complex of built-in passive and active protection, as well as an Aqueduct communication system and a multi-channel Sosna-U sight with a thermal imager. The T-72B3M has additional protection for the tower, side projections and bottom.

The tank's combat compartment has also been upgraded. There is a 125-mm gun with improved ballistics and a resource of shots, a digital ballistic calculator and a panoramic sight of the commander of the combat vehicle. All this allows the crew to detect and destroy targets faster day and night.

The press service of the Central Military District told that the Guards Vitebsk-Novgorod twice Red Banner Tank Division, which will receive the T-72B3M, was formed on December 1, 2016. It consists of three tank, motorized rifle and self-propelled artillery regiments, as well as an anti-aircraft missile division, reconnaissance and engineer-sapper battalions, units and units of combat, logistics and technical support.
