#Soviet Tanks

Russia has begun deploying upgraded BMPT Terminator armored vehicles to Ukraine, a rare battlefield reinforcement aimed at shielding its tank forces from drones and anti-tank teams after suffering heavy losses. The new variants feature reinforced armor, electronic warfare systems, and drone-countermeasures, underscoring Moscow’s push to adapt its formations for urban combat and attrition-heavy assaults.

Armored battles in Ukraine have convinced the US Army to fast-track the most significant upgrade to its main battle tank in decades, with four prototypes of the next-generation M1E3 Abrams now set to enter formations in 2026, years ahead of schedule.

Ukrainian troops have begun fielding Croatian-supplied M-84 tanks in combat, with newly released footage confirming their battlefield debut. The tanks, delivered in a modernized Snajper configuration, represent a significant reinforcement for Ukraine’s armored forces.

Russia has unveiled an armor upgrade for its BMD-4M airborne infantry fighting vehicle, but military analysts say the changes do little to solve the vehicle’s core vulnerabilities. Despite new lattice and armored screens, the lightweight IFV remains highly exposed to drones, anti-tank weapons, and even heavy machine-gun fire—a flaw rooted in its very design.
