MOSCOW (Sputnik) – All Russian tanks are equipped with protection against drones; their design received such a change as a result of the special military operation experience, tank maker Uralvagonzavod told journalists. “Since the beginning of the special military operation, over a hundred changes have been made to the design of the tanks. For example, all vehicles are equipped with anti-FVP drone nets and rubber-reinforced protection. The rear, engine, and engine-transmission compartment of the tanks received additional protection,” the company said. The tanks also equipped with enhanced camouflage and electronic warfare systems to counter drones, it added. According to Uralvagonzavod CEO Alexander Potapov, the tank of the early 2022 and of the late 2024 can be considered two different combat vehicles.
"For example, if we talk about the protection system, it did not anticipate many of the challenges that we faced literally from the first days of the special military operation. The corresponding improvements were immediately adopted, the designers worked day and night, and the plant workers promptly made changes to the products that were already being assembled in the workshop. This painstaking and responsible work of the plant workers was recognized by the eighth state award — the Order 'For Labor Valor,'" Potapov said.
