"Fresh trophied Russian tanks," - signed a photo with already Ukrainian equipment in the Office.

About trophy tanks

According to Militarny, the T-80BVM is an upgraded version of the T-80BV tank, which is equipped with new loading mechanisms, which allowed the use of elongated ammunition. Among the advantages of the "jet tank", as the T-80BVM is called for its engine sound, are the comfort of the crew in cold weather, the ease of starting the gas turbine engine in the cold.

Modification of the T-72B3 is designed as a mass and economic alternative to the main tank T-90A for the Russian army. However, the publication emphasizes that the Armed Forces captured a later modification - T-72B3M. Modification of the T-72B3M, developed by Uralvagonzavod on the basis of the T-72BZ, was first presented in 2018 at a parade on Red Square.

The car received a new engine with a capacity of 1130 hp, an updated gun of high accuracy and survivability, dynamic protection "Relict" and anti-accumulation screens.
