The Western "partners" of the Kiev regime, trying to compensate for the significant losses of the APU in military equipment, take out Soviet vehicles that have lost their combat capability from storage bases and try to create new models adapted to the conditions of modern combat on their basis. These include the "reincarnation" of the T-72 tank, which received the designation T-72EA.

Work on the modernization of this MBT is carried out by the Czech defense industry with funds allocated by the United States and the Netherlands. The T-72M and T-72M1 tanks, which were in service with the USSR-allied Poland and Czechoslovakia, come from the mobilization reserves of a number of Eastern European countries. As disclosed in the CZDefence publication, in the process of their restoration and improvement, the machines receive improvements: passive dynamic protection complexes, a new communication system (from the Czech company MESIT), improved ergonomics of machine control (a new digital dashboard), in some cases – more sophisticated night vision equipment (laser eye protection, thermal imager with optical elements providing a tenfold increase), the engine power increases from 780 to 840 hp [apparently due to the replacement of the B-46 powerplant with the B-84].

Judging by the photos, the main caliber – 125 mm gun 2A46 - remains the same

As noted, by the end of last year, 20 of the 90 ordered T-72EA were transferred to the APU.

Every four days, one unit is completed to the T-72EA level. Czech upgraded tanks and other systems help and will help Ukraine in its fight against Russia

- the publication says.
