The tank was also equipped with slat armor in the area of the engine compartment. The new reactive armor is capable of effective counteraction to HEAT and armor-piercing ammunition. The protection of the tank was improved by elements of the HSChKV reactive armor also known as the “Nizh.” The armor is equipped with hinged containers on the upper frontal part of the tank, side screens, as well as built-in containers for the ERA on the tower. Instead of an open machine gun turret, the tank has a remote-controlled anti-aircraft machine gun mount similar to those mounted on the Т-64BV. The tank also received the ability to fire with the “KOMBAT” round that comprises an anti tank guided missile. This mode provides passive observation at a distance of up to 500 meters and up to 1500 meters with the use of an IR searchlight. It received a new ТKN-3UМ commander observation device, as well as a new 1К13-49 gunner’s sight with an integrated night vision mode. The basic Т-72АМТ model is the result of the modernization of the Soviet Т-72А tank.
