During the offensive of the DPR People's Militia units to liberate the settlement of Nikolaevka, T-72B (BM) tanks with enhanced protection were spotted. Video footage from this section of the front of the fight against Nazi formations was posted by the Zvezda TV channel.
The combat vehicles received the so-called "burdocks" mounted on the built-in dynamic protection mounted on the towers. Additional blocks of "reactive armor" are fixed on them.
It is believed that such modernization significantly increases resistance to modern enemy ammunition of various types.
Measures have also been taken to cover the roof of the engine and transmission compartment from attacking enemy weapons from above.
The onboard projections are not forgotten either, the anti-cumulative "Contact" is visible on the screens there. It is clear that people with significant combat experience were engaged in retrofitting tanks.
Such "seventy-second" were previously often demonstrated during classes and exercises, they were told about in various publications, and now they have been tested during a special operation.
Also in the divisions of the People's Republics, in addition to the T-72, you can also find T-64 of various versions, for example, the BM Bulat recaptured from the APU.
Earlier T-64BVS were also being refined in terms of improving armor protection. The samples were highly appreciated not only by domestic, but also by foreign competent experts.
Much attention was paid to the improvement of light armored vehicles: infantry fighting vehicles of the first and second generation, armored personnel carriers BTR-80 and tracked tractors MT-LB.
