“By installing an 840 horsepower engine, their mobility has increased. Our M-84 tank and the basic version of the T-72 tank have 780 horsepower engines installed,” he said.

According to him, the essence of the modernization is also in the optoelectronic means, because the optoelectronic aiming devices installed in the tank allow the commander and the shooter to observe the enemy more and better, and thus react faster and hit him earlier.
“The commander operates the panoramic observation device, which allows him to observe around the tank 360 degrees, regardless of the shooter, and thanks to that he can successfully see the target at distances of more than six kilometers,” said Jovanović.
