The newest modification of the T-72 tank will appear on the Afghan border

Russian Defense Ministry confirms rearmament of 201st military base in Tajikistan with more modern Tanks... Colonel Yevgeny Okhrimenko, chief of staff of the formation, said that by the end of the year, the tankers will receive modernized T-72B3M battle tanks.

The rearmament of the base is carried out against the background of the Taliban * coming to power in neighboring Afghanistan * (the movement is banned in Russia as a terrorist movement). To enhance the combat capabilities of the base, 30 T-72B3M tanks will enter service with a separate tank battalion, they will replace the earlier modifications of the T-72, which are currently in service.

The fact that the Russian military base will be re-equipped with new tanks was reported back in early September, but there was no specific information. Recently, the Ministry of Defense has strengthened the base by equipping it with a batch of modernized BMP-2M, Mi-8-MTV5-1 helicopters, small arms weapon, ATGM "Cornet" and flamethrowers.

In addition, a decision was made to install additional protection in the form of lattice screens on all armored vehicles of the base, capable of covering the equipment from cumulative shots of grenade launchers.

The 201st Russian military base, stationed in Tajikistan, is the largest Russian military facility in the region.

That's right ... This base should have good tanks ... Not the best possible, but good.

[Thrifty]

Mountain shooter - good tanks are the T90M, and the T72 in any other way is a machine that pulls at a stretch on a mediocre tank! To write off and sell all the T72s, and pull all the T90s out of storage, and totally upgrade to the T90M version is a sensible decision!

sell all t72? and then with a bare ass on a hedgehog?
ask the infantryman what is more fun for him when he has three more behind him with an AK74, or even an old T55 with a crew of three?
Of course, it would be nice to have 20 thousand Armata, then you can sell t72.
however, the realities of the destruction of 36 thousand factories over the past 30 years are such that we are not like Armatu, we cannot even do T90 ... even with Chinese bearings ...
therefore, it is necessary to restore the economy, develop the Armata, modernize the T90 and use it as a ram, and the modernized T72 and even the T55 will go to the second line - the gun is always better than the AK74

[Thrifty]

vl903 - part of the T72, especially the first versions, are already hopelessly outdated, and they need to be written off and given to the same Syria, and there are hundreds of T90s in storage, and they must be returned to service after a deep modernization!

[vl903]

t90 - crumbs 350 and 200 in storage.
relatively new t72b3 1400pcs
What will you fight with? this is not enough for a week ...
Even now we cannot produce a new one --- T90 is a reworked T72. and in the conditions of war, we will pray for everyone from the reserve ... or the infantryman with AK74 will have to fight for everyone ...

In a war with any serious enemy, our tanks can not be counted on at all. Americans and Europeans are fighting with different weapons. It is as if cavalry with new improved sabers against tanks were allowed. And in a conflict with Afghan militants, the T-90M would certainly be better, it has at least fewer vulnerabilities where you can drive RPGs. IMHO

In a war, any first air capture, then the removal of visible armored vehicles, but then, if you're lucky, our private infantry Vanya will be against even the NATO members, even the Afghans. but to help him, it will be possible to expose what remains. Armata and T90 (by the way, this is the same T72 with a different tower) will burn out in the first week. and turn the infantryman more fun with the tank. and with a good infantryman with RPG7, try another approach to the tank. and then even t34 will be in the subject

[don-1500]

that is, do you propose to use the old T 55 "as a battering ram"? Did I understand you correctly? I can see how the crews of these tanks drink a glass of sake before the attack. Strategist sucks, do not write, since there is no mind.

where are we, stupid ...
after your strategic operations, a simple infantryman will remain with the AK74, and if you are not listened to, there will also be a T55 barrel behind him ...
especially cunning friends of yours will already be kicked out, and against the rest, even such a barrel is better than a grenade launcher.
but if they listen to you, the private infantry will be with a bare bottom like a battering ram

I totally agree.

Write off and sell all T72

What a zealous you are, this is the bulk of the Russian tank fleet, I agree to write off and drink up to the T-72B1-3B, but there is no ALL modifications of the T-72 ...

and pulling all the T90s out of their storage locations, and totally upgrading them to the T90M version is a sensible decision!

I partially agree that the BHBT should have a supply of tanks that will replace those killed by aircraft, helicopters and UAVs of the Air Force and AA - T-72 ...

[Constanty]

It just so happened that the T-72B3M is definitely a better tank than the first T-90 in stock.
The engine, the tank gun and, importantly, the FCS are at a really decent level and, apart from the Abrams or several Leo2 A6 / 7s, look pretty good compared to Russia's neighbors. Especially in terms of price / effect ratio

Our neighbors are now massively acquiring anti-tank complexes of the 3rd, 4th generations against which neither the T-72B3 nor the T-90M are protected.

[Constanty]

We can say that there is no difference for such sets of T-90 or T-72B3M. Be that as it may, now drones pose a great threat, as evidenced by the conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia. And here Russia has countermeasures

[SKVichyakow]

After all, those in power do not sit behind the levers in the tank, so why should they be afraid. I still can't understand why they don't make dynamic protection without such holes as now? Why don't chains hang on the canopy of the tower? They did at least a minimum, not to mention active dynamic protection.

[knn54]

The second "coming" (and I think not the last) T-72, A good "budget" alternative to the T-90.

[Bashkirkhan]

T-72 from 201 Russian military base

[ximkim]

Straight crazy max.

[Bashkirkhan]

The tanks are still Soviet at the 201st base. Very old.

[ximkim]

Hmm ...
It's hard for tankers there ..

Some kind of tin, if it's not just a photoshop banter.

[donavi49]

No, this is an exhibition of samples at the CSTO exercises at 201 bases.

[Nexcom]

This is some kind of fucking ...
It looks so that from one appearance you immediately want to surrender - if this is done serially, well, it’s nafik to fight with such a country - they will be captured and surrounded by such fences - will make you carry it for free.

PS does this fence really work against grenade launchers and ATGMs ???

[Nexcom]

The armored personnel carrier in the second picture, sheathed with a fence and half of the gate leaf in the form of a front screen, is the coolest. Especially the gate leaf looks hippie from the front.

[Raven 95]

Is this our modern technology?

This "hat" is not known what years, it is enough to look for everything about 201 bases and go through the tank forums.

Can you sign "?" at the end of the question to put?

[tralflot1832]

Open the 2019 Commonwealth exercises at Base 201, you will be surprised. And this stuffing appeared on the vastness of the tyrnet yesterday. Definitely a "hat", that's putting it mildly.

[alex neym_2]

If this is not a joke (which it looks like very much), then it looks like a home-grown shed with caterpillars, made in the field from what was. The idea, for sure, was prompted by "specialists" from the Armed Forces of Ukraine - only I could not see the armor mesh from the bed!

[Nexcom]

Beds are in short supply, especially one and a half, so they only put on the commander's T72, that's why they didn't see it. And then the nets will not be enough for everyone.
Moreover, they are placed in two rows - everything that arrives specifically kicks off exactly back to where it came from.

If this is not a joke (which looks like a lot)

If you want to live, you will not be so heated. (from)
Why mention Ukraine in every article, I don’t understand. Straight some kind of morbid mania. The screens were used when Berlin was taken, then what has not yet provided adequate protection, these are questions to the current command of the RF Armed Forces. The T-72B3M somehow meets the requirements of that theater of operations, the T-72A / B at the end of the 80s were already outdated.

[alex neym_2]

We know what happened in Berlin. But how the Armed Forces of Ukraine sheathed armored vehicles on an industrial scale - it should have been seen! It's a pity, I can't find a photo ... there was a whole selection.

[OgnennyiKotik]

So what? In Syria, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Angola, Russia, Kazakhstan, etc., they are sheathed with various kinds of screens. T-72s do not meet modern security requirements, they are penetrated by the cumulants of the 70s, so they are trying to somehow increase security. They need serious modernization, not cosmetic work.

[Nexcom]

And don't you think, don't show the photo, otherwise now the Svidomo Sumerians will gallop up, they will begin to show copyrights on the casing of the tank hull with beds and gates

[alex neym_2]

I hope they haven't thought of issuing patents? I'll run away, make a claim! And thanks for the hint - from me to the best of my ability (is there a measure of lope? About 27 liters?).

[tralflot1832]

Yesterday this nonsense appeared on the vastness of the tyrnet. The enemy does not sleep.

[Thrifty]

Bashkirkhan is a flaw, the barrel of the gun is not protected with plywood, or what was the tank sheathed with? ??

[Lara Croft]

To enhance the combat capabilities of the base, 30 T-72B3M tanks will enter service with a separate tank battalion

The MSD was reduced to MSBR, and the number of tanks was not increased to 41 ... they also sent me "new" tanks ... the old ones will be given back to the Tajiks .... until they kill them ... by their exploitation ...

[Ros 56]

Tanks, of course, is a necessary thing. And here is how to relate to such a statement of Peskov - Dmitry Peskov: Russia will do everything to minimize the consequences of rapprochement between Ukraine and NATO.
In my opinion, this is an unequivocal recognition of our failure in banderlogy. So much for the darkest one.

In principle, the main tasks have been completed, the Crimean base, a buffer zone in the form of the LPNR, plus a territorial dispute preventing NATO membership. And the west of Ukraine was not particularly loyal even under the USSR.

[Lyman1982]

Where are the armata? Again, junk on the basis of the oldest T64 is turned into candy, when will there be a new technique or only cartoons ???

[Slavake]

The tank of the 70s, it is almost 50 years old and there is nothing to replace it with. Is it a breakthrough or a jerk?

[Marine 78]

Previously, all tanks were built with a reserve for the future, that is, you can modernize a lot for the Abrams, now the problem is it is no longer subject to modernization and its platform is outdated, the latest version of Sepv V-3, now they are trying to develop a new platform for an infantry tank.

[Marine 78]

The tank itself is not bad, but our tanks have some diseases, this is a bad reverse gear, a bad depression angle of the gun at all, it is -5 degrees down on European and American tanks -10 degrees, a good reverse gear only in the T-80 develops up to 40km / h.
