Russian T-72B3 with 4S24 Soft Case ERA & Grating Armour 1/35 - Trumpeter
T-72B3 is the third generation of Russian T-72 series. The T-72B3 is designed to be an economic alternative to the T-90A main battle tank before the Russian armed forces acquire the new generation tank T-14 „almata“. It is a simple upgrade of the T-72B tank, raising some parameters to the T-90A level.
In 2016, the tank was upgraded to T-72B3M version. The new version includes a new v-92c2f engine with a power of 1130 litres. „Sosner-u“ sight, new dynamic defense system „relic“, new 6p50 „cod“ anti-aircraft machine gun and improved automatic loader can use „lead-1“ and „lead-2“ shells.
4S24 being the one with the beveled edge on the boxes that are on the hull sides. The early one, IIRC, is about 400–500 vs HEAT and 4S24 is 600–800 vs HEAT. 4S24 is also more resistant to HMG and less vulnerable to chain denotations.
