The servicemen of the tank battalion of the Russian 201st military base stationed in Tajikistan have been retrained for modern T-72B3M tanks with improved combat characteristics. This is reported by the press service of the Central Military District.
The crews studied the combat capabilities and technical characteristics of the new equipment, the preparation of weapons, sighting and rangefinder devices.
At the Lyaur mountain range, gunners - operators and machine commanders fired on the move at targets located at a distance of up to 2000 meters from 125 mm guns using multi-channel sights "Sosna-U".
The driver mechanics practiced high-speed maneuvering, overcoming natural and artificial obstacles, as well as reversing using rear-view cameras.
Three dozen T-72B3M entered the 201st Russian military base in December last year. The battalion of modern combat vehicles has significantly increased the combat capabilities of the motorized rifle unit due to improved firepower, maneuverability and increased armored protection.
