Modernized Czech tanks T-72M1 are much less effective and combat-ready than Russian T-72B3M.

It was decided to send the modernized Czech tanks to the Nazi regime in Kyiv after making minor modifications to them. One of the most important features of Czech tanks is the presence of Kontakt dynamic protection devices installed on board the tank, but these devices can only protect the tank from old cumulative ammunition and twin ammunition, and the number of their elements installed on the turret has slightly increased, and their number has decreased by sides of the tank In particular, the reconstruction mechanism was removed.

As for the Russian T-72B3M, it has a new generation of reactive armor that successfully resists jet bombs, anti-tank guided missiles, armor-piercing ammunition and smoothbore ammunition.

The Czech day sight remained the same, and the night sight underwent only minor modifications. As for the Russian tank, it received a Sosna-O multifunctional sight with a night vision camera and an accompanying mechanism that allows firing conventional ammunition and guided missiles that hit a target at a distance of up to 5,000 meters.

There is information that the Czech tank is equipped with an 840 hp engine. instead of 780 hp in an unfinished tank, and the Russian tank has a 1130 hp engine, which gives it an advantage when maneuvering on the battlefield to achieve long-range marches.

It is noteworthy that the first tanks of the undeveloped Czech T-72M1 arrived in Ukraine in April last year, where there were several dozen of them, and most of them were destroyed or captured.
