Russian troops received a batch of T-90M Proryv and T-72B3M tanks with additional protection

Russian troops received a new batch tanks T-90M and T-72B3M, the equipment was shipped by Uralvagonzavod. This is stated in the press service of the enterprise.

A batch of new T-90M Proryv tanks and modernized T-72B3M tanks was sent by Russian military railway transport. For the first time, tanks leave the factory with turret protection already installed, i.e. with “visors”, previously the military in the Northern Military District zone installed them on their own, as they say, whoever can do what.

It is worth noting that quite recently the factory protection of the tank’s turret was demonstrated at the Army-2023 forum, and now it is already being used as serial equipment by the troops. As previously stated, the vehicles are assembled taking into account the experience of use in the Northern Military District and the wishes of tankers. UVZ has significantly increased the pace of production and modernization of tanks to carry out special operations missions

The UVZ team provides our Armed Forces with modern and reliable armored vehicles, demonstrating high-quality and rhythmic execution of state defense orders. In this case, we are talking about the most popular models - the T-90M “Breakthrough” and the T-72B3M, which have proven themselves well in the SVO area

- said the head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade Denis Manturov.

Let us recall that Uralvagonzavod is carrying out a deep modernization of T-72 tanks to the T-72B3M level, T-90 to the T-90M level and is producing new T-90M Proryv tanks. This tank is considered the best of all used in the special operation zone. Last month, UVZ announced the task of resuming serial production of T-80 tanks in the latest modification.

I was wrong, I lost my temper, please forgive me...

Great solution. There is less chance that they will burn like the Merkava Mk4 burned.

[smart ass]

About the visor, a question for the experts: by how much does it slow down the speed at which the crew leaves the tank? During the Second World War, tankers took off their belts and tore off the pockets of their overalls in order to quickly leave the vehicle without getting caught in anything.

[Romario_Argo]

Now BC AZ is loaded at half, or more than 14, instead of 22
also, the roof of the T-72B3 turret is covered by the Relikt DZ by 50% and on the T-90M by 80%,
some T-90M have up to 95% (except Sosna, double sight and Panorama)
so the visor increases security

[Orange Bigg]

The T-90M fires Telnik, created for the T-14. Can the T-90M use Vacuum-1/Vacuum-2 BOPS? Another question is what kind of gun is there. Perhaps 2A82-1M. Although there is information that a new barrel is already being prepared.

Thus, the 2A82 cannon, which is installed on the Russian T-14 tank, represents a unique solution. However, the engineers do not stop there and have already developed an improved version of the gun called 2V82-1M. In the future, it will replace its predecessor not only on the Armata tanks, but also on a highly modernized version of the T-90M tank.

They also want to heavily modernize the T-80 with a new Burlak turret and a GTD-1500 engine, the same one the Black Eagle tank was used on.

According to him, due to the fact that the new T-80 will receive enhanced protection and other additional systems, the task was set to create a modern engine with a GTD-1500 digital control system with a power of 1500 hp.
“It is planned that in 2025 the enterprise will begin production of tank gas turbine power plants with increased power,” Leykovsky said.
That is, in connection with this news, we can say with confidence that, by order of the Ministry of Defense, T-80 tanks of a new type will still be put into production from scratch.

"Burlak" was a program that lasted from 2005 to 2009 by the KBTM OKB in Omsk, which was supposed to develop a modern two-man modular tower. This turret can be placed on the chassis of many main battle tanks (MBTs), including the T-72, T-80 and T-90 series, with the goal of replacing Soviet-era MBTs by 2025.

"Burlak" was the result of competition between Omsk KBTM and "Uralvagonzavod", Omsk KBTM won thanks to lower costs, using the experience of previous development programs (primarily the T-80UM2 "Black Eagle").

The automatic loading mechanism is located outside the fighting compartment, which limits the risk to the crew in the event of an ammunition explosion. All mechanisms are located in the tower, which allows installation on various types of housings. The Burlak's turret still houses a traditional 125mm gun, a remote-controlled 12,7mm machine gun mounted on a special platform outside the turret, and a variety of modern electro-optical reconnaissance equipment similar to those used on the T-90M.

How can the removal of the loading mechanism “limit the risk” of an ammunition explosion? after all, it is not the MZ that explodes, but the ammunition, part of which is in combat (like the T-72-90). The Burlak still has some of its ammunition behind the turret, but these are apparently long BOPS, which are not included in the main conveyor due to their length.

[Xenofont]

Is there any information about installing Sosna on the current T-72B3M? It seems that they could not ensure the production of these complexes in the required quantities.

Here is information on your question.

The use of the 72pn-3mt sight in the T-2022B1M model 96 instead of a full-fledged fire control system is a necessary measure, since the Sosna-U complexes were simply not enough to produce three tanks with a similar system in parallel. In addition, the T-72B3, as the main vehicle of the army, has become cheaper, which means it is easier to produce. This is clearly visible at the front, because the T-72B3M model 2022, despite the deteriorated sighting devices, retained more or less modern instruments, received increased protection from all angles and is actively being supplied to the troops.

On the other hand, you can pull yourself up by the visor to get out

What kind of belts, what kind of pockets, there have been nothing on modern overalls for a long time...

[Mikhail Ivanov]

Yes, the design above the tower is a sign of the times))) There is not enough Baba Yaga on top with a broom to disperse the drones and additional all-round visibility)))
Our tanks are the best in the world! How many people in the West talk about their hardware and electronics, but in real combat we work, and they can’t even get to the positions!

[Romario_Argo]

it is necessary to rework the hatch opening mechanism and the hatches of the commander, gunner, ejection of pallets and add built-in and spaced Relikt remote sensing on the roof of the turret + KAZ Arena-M with submunitions to protect the upper hemisphere, also protected by spaced Relict remote sensing on the sides of the turret
and the visors will go down in history

[Romanenko]

The visor is not a dogma, it’s just that at the moment it is an actual solution and it can be quickly and en masse introduced into production. As for increasing the time for the crew to leave the tower, this is precisely the solution that reduces the number of cases of the need for emergency escape.
I am absolutely sure that in the future the visors will become history, the design of the tower and the protection of the upper hemisphere will simply change, but these decisions are ahead, and now we have to fight, we need a lot of tanks to kill as many fascists as possible.

[kirichkov]

The teachers don’t speak such heresy either. One allegedly once said that ugly planes don’t fly, but it turned out that beautiful ones don’t fly, and ugly ones live for decades and fly.

[Msi]

For the first time, tanks leave the factory with turret protection already installed, i.e. with "visors"

Well, very good news. Not a single day goes by without industry delivering something new...

[lukash66]

But it is cheap, reliable and practical. The new-fangled KAZ showed 0 whole horseradish tenths. For 6 lyams of green money. And here a maximum of thousand per 100 are forever wooden. No, I probably got excited about 100. Thousand for 15 metal products, plus labor. )))

Normal We have learned to more or less protect equipment from the threat from above. This means that it is necessary to develop and reduce the cost of remote mining, drones on wheels, with a guaranteed detonation of mines under the bottom of the equipment. You can't weld a grate there anymore.

[Egeny]

Dan, I don’t know, but are the tanks of early modifications “canned” or cut?

[Smoked]

I’m not, this site is aware of https://topwar.ru/203720-bolee-dvuh-tysjach-rossijskih-t-64-pochemu-oni-do-sih-por-ne-na-ukraine.html

The problem there is that such a drone will either not have a very long range or have an antenna 3 meters long to receive a radio signal.

[Saffron]

Cool “gazebo” on the tower, and most importantly an excellent and simple means against modern ATGMs flying from above

[uav80]

Protection is good, but what about the turret machine gun mount, how will it work...?

On wheels - and so that under the bottom - such wheels will get stuck in the field,
that’s why they install caterpillars: but then it won’t fit under the bottom...
And since the size is small, the speed on the wheels will be low.

It’s like “rockets on wheels”, which is why no one does this: high soil resistance.

[tralflot1832]

Hamas has revealed the secret of why the Merkavas don’t throw turrets. It’s just that the blast wave opens the “landing gate” in the rear of the tank.

[Alexander O.]

Ancient warriors had armor, a sword and a shield (in the classic version). The tank has armor - armor, a sword - a cannon, but no shield. It is high time to develop a shield (shields) that would cover the cover of the same tower, and, if necessary, the side or stern during maneuver, if there is a danger of being hit by an ATGM. Well, the issue of leaving the crew of the car and maintenance would have been resolved. We are talking specifically about mobile protection, and not about permanently installed screens.

[Ryaruav]

in the video, the composition “time forward” somehow does not fit with the priest who splashes on platforms with tanks

[French messenger]

I thought about this too.
progressive composition with anachronism in the frame.

[Sergei N 58912062]

Why do tanks leave the factory without additional electronic protection on the sides of the hull?

[Dmitry_Kuk]

The remote control will protrude beyond the dimensions of the platform, which is oversized.
