Rostec has sent batches of T-90M, T-80BVM, and T-72B3M tanks to the military.
These vehicles were created for the army by our concern "Uralvagonzavod", taking into account the experience of combat use and feedback from the military. On the eve of the 81st anniversary of the Great Victory, the trains with the equipment departed to their duty stations.
Today, tank workshop workers, inspired by the heroism of their grandfathers and great-grandfathers, are constantly increasing the production of combat vehicles. Just like in the war years, when designers and engineers made every effort to improve the T-34, modern specialists continue to constantly improve armored vehicles.
For example, in 2025, the electronic warfare system was significantly upgraded, and additional protection for the engine-transmission compartment was added to the upper hemisphere protection. Work is ongoing on further development of protection - both passive and active - as well as on improving the operational and technical characteristics of combat vehicles. The main focus is on a comprehensive increase in the survivability of tanks and the safety of crews.
“At one time, the legendary T-34 fully met the requirements of the era. It became not just a combat vehicle - a tank of Victory. And today, in combat, our T-72, T-80, and T-90 also meet modern challenges, combat conditions, and new threats. But these are different tanks. Time will pass, new tanks will appear in response to new threats, but they will be made on the basis of what we are creating now. And our children and grandchildren will talk about today's T-72s, T-80s, and T-90s just as we talk about the T-34,” said Alexander Potapov, the General Director of "Uralvagonzavod".
