In Belarus, they showed the latest modernization of armored vehicles and military vehicles. They have been improved taking into account the war in Ukraine. Speaking of which in shape Belarusian Monitoring Group “Belarusian Gayun”.

However, the T-72B, scalded with the bars, attracted most of the attention. Belarusian engineers installed pro-cumulative grids around the perimeter of the tank. Together with them, they installed a rooftop “barbecue” with sandbags. An open flame tube is welded to the rear. As they write Oryx, as expected, this tube should shoot down anti-tank missiles from the target due to the thermal signature. Some of the missiles are guided by a heat trail.
It is also worth noting that the Russian military has also resorted to this “know-how”. In 2021, during the “Army-2021” uniform, T-72B3 tanks with a similar design with open fire from behind were demonstrated. However, as he writesMilitary“, 8 months of invasion have shown that such projects are absolutely ineffective.
