The T-72B2 tank, also known as “Rogatka”, is a modernized version of the Soviet T-72B introduced by Russia in the first decade of the 21st century. It was developed in response to advances in modern anti-tank warfare and the global modernization of armored forces. T-72B2 prototypes were first presented to the public around 2006. The vehicle stands out with its upgraded Relikt new-generation reactive armor, the modified 2A46M-5 gun, the new Sosna-U fire control system, and the capability to use advanced optoelectronic systems.
