Russian main battle tank T72B3M TS-053

Description

The T-72B3 is the main battle tank of the Russian Army today. In 2014, the Russian General Staff requested upgrades to this battle tank that resulted in a new V-92S2F diesel engine, increasing its power to 1130 hp. It is also equipped with 4S23 Relikt reactive-explosive armor and slatted protection to resist attack by light anti-tank missiles more effectively.

This variant was formally designated T-72B3M and entered service with the Russian armed forces in 2018.

The T-72B3M is being widely used in the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
