Main Battle Tank M-84

Tank M-84 is based on russian tank T-72 and it distinguishes with largest applicable gun caliber with efficient ammunition, automatic gun loading, small mass, low silhouette and good protection. Besides that, tank M-84 is equipped with new, modern fire control system, modified and stronger engine, new radio equipment and new NBC detector.

The concept of battle tank M-84 is based on russian tank T-72 while retaining its main properties: largest applicable gun caliber and efficient ammunition, automatic gun loading, small mass, low profile and top quality armour protection. Simultaneously the battle tank M-84 represents evolution of the basic tank T-72 in systems and properties in which T-72 was technically inferior to its Western counterparts: new modern Fire Control System, modified motor with increased motor power, new radio equipment and new NBC detector. All subsequent modernization novelties carried out on T-72 in several countries and real war experiences with M-84 confirmed this approach in design of battle tank M-84.
