According to several sources Czech T-72M4CZ will go through another modernization step (we have only 30 standard + 3 command tanks). The Turms-T FCS is to be modernized and the thermal cameras will be replaced with new ones. I haven't found more anywhere.

Sorry if it's a repost. T-72B and T-80U turrets after ballistic tests

   Hard to tell what kind of ammunition was used and if turrets were penetrated/where/how.

Yes, I noticed the Drozd launcher too. Hard to say why it was even there - if that testing included testing of APS or otherwise why it would be installed at all.

T-80U due to retarded design of special armour cavity was penetrated at least 1 time, you can see it on photo, and penetration look like old soviet shitty APFSDS BM-15-22-26(you can see where tungsten core went out)

   Are you speaking about this one?

yes, on the other side for one who "want to believe" you can say that this is a core/part of APFSDS tail stuck inside armour 

 

but when you making new turret which have "weakened zones areas two time smaller than the older one" you better to check what your so called "experienced designer" made...

Those are actually post-war Czechoslovak-built vehicles but maybe it was already mentioned.

That mud is serious... You need proper tanks for that job! Objekt-279! Btw, it would be good if such vehicles would be restored and returned to running condition instead of shitty T-34s wich are plentiful and boring as hell... Maybe a kickstarter project for restoring the Objekt-770? Anyone? Or maybe a serial produced machine, like a T-10M?

How many are in service? Also is there any source about its armor protection level?

I'm impressed they managed to achieve burn-in with a non-airborne vehicle. (Well, I guess it was airborne for 30 seconds or so...)
