What this is can be understood by looking at the T-72B3M on display at the exhibition. On social media, the rubber screens attached to the rear of the turrets were nicknamed “burdocks.”
According to experts, they can quite successfully counter attacks by kamikaze drones, which have now become one of the main threats to armored vehicles.
A similar design is also used on the T-90M, and on the Omsk T-80BVM it is slightly different visually, but is equally effective.
Currently, combat vehicles modernized in this way have already been sent to the troops and are being prepared for combat missions.
