T-72BA
T-72B2 or T-72BM: T-72B upgrade. First shown at 2006.
New fire control system including a gunner's thermal sight, Nakidka camouflage kit.
New 125 mm 2A46M-5 main gun with muzzle reference system, V-92S2 1,000 hp diesel engine
New Relikt 3rd generation ERA which is claimed to be twice as effective as Kontakt-5.
T-72B3: this upgrade was initiated in 2010 using old stocks of T-72B tanks held in reserve.
The upgrade program focuses improving the tank's firepower, mainly through the fire control system.
Sosna-U multi-channel, panoramic sight stabilized in vertical and horizontal axes, built-in laser rangefinder and command guidance module used with 9M119M missiles. The most advantageous aspect of the Sosna-U
is the Thales Catherine-FC thermal imager which extends the detection and identification range of a tank-sized target to 10,500 m and 2,200 m respectively, at night/day and in all weather combat conditions. The T-72B3 series vehicles also received the new 2A46M5 main gun
The AZ ammunition auto-loader was modified to accommodate long-rod (up to 730 mm) saboted KE ammunition:
Svinets-1 (using a depleted uranium penetrator) capable of defeating 740–800 mm of RHA at 2,000 m
Svinets-2 (sintered tungsten alloy) round capable of defeating 660–740 mm of RHA at 2,000 m
New explosion and fire suppression system,
T-72B3M: this is the newest variant of the T-72 fielded by the Russian army since 2016.
Stabilized, panoramic, independent commander's PK PAN sight with integrated thermal viewer, thought to have similar specifications to the Sosna-U. This gives the ability to engage targets in the "hunter-killer" mode.
More powerful V-92S2 engine rated at 1130 hp (830 kW) coupled to an automatic transmission system and improved drivetrain.
