T-72-120 Upgraded Main Battle Tank
T-72
Tank Upgrade


The Kharkiv Morozov Machine Building Design Bureau has
developed a T-72 tank main armament upgrade package which envisages
use of a 120mm gun and NATO-standard ammunition.
It is possible to fit the T-72 tank with a 120-140mm
main guns; in so doing, the scope of required re-designing is rather
small, as these guns have the overall dimensions similar to those of
the guns 2A46, 2A46M and KBA3.
The breech-part of the offered 120mm
KBM2 gun with a quick-replacement barrel has a high degree of
commonality with the breech-part of the original gun of the T-72
tank.
In order to be able to use 120mm NATO-standard fixed
ammunition, the automatic loader of the gun is installed in an
isolated self-contained compartment in the turret bustle. The level
of armour protection of the automatic loader compartment is
analogous to that of the Leopard and Abrams tanks.
The total allowance of ammunition of the tank includes
40 rounds, of which 22 are positioned in the automatic loader.
