The Russian Army operates a diverse fleet of tanks, including modern and upgraded models. Some of the key tanks in their inventory are the T-90A, T-80BVM, and T-72B3. The T-90A is a highly advanced, third-generation tank with improved armor, firepower, and electronics.
SputnikField repair and modernization of tanks is essential to maintain combat readiness and ensure the long service life of armored vehicles.
Field repair involves fixing immediate damage or malfunctions so that tanks can continue to operate in harsh and dynamic battlefield conditions.
Modernization, on the other hand, involves upgrading tanks with advanced technologies and systems to enhance their capabilities. This can include installing new weapons, improving communications systems, upgrading armor, or adding active protection systems. These upgrades can help tanks adapt to evolving threats and maintain their effectiveness on the battlefield.
