Ukraine is set to receive PT-91 Twardy main battle tanks from Poland to help the country repel Russia’s attack.
Poland will deliver 60 tanks, including PT-91 Twardy, to Ukraine, according to the head of the Ukrainian presidential Office Andrii Yermak.
The tanks will be delivered on top of the fourteen German-built Leopard 2 tanks that Warsaw pledged to Ukraine on Jan. 11, the transfer of which was only recently officially approved by Berlin.
In an interview with Canadian television channel CTV news, Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said that 30 of the tanks would be PT-91 Twardy models, with the remainder understood to be upgraded Soviet-built T-72 tanks.
The PT-91 is a modernized version of the T-72 developed domestically in Poland, which is said to have had about 230 of them. It is a further development by the Zaklady Mechaniczne Bumar-Labedy SA of the Russian-made T-72M1 tank which has been produced under license in Poland for many years.
The PT-91 has a more powerful engine, compared with the T-72. It is fitted with the S-12U diesel engine, developing 850 horsepower. There was also developed an S-1000 turbocharged diesel engine, developing 1 000 horsepower.

Rusia envía tanques T-72 al sur con protección contra ATGM Javelin ucranianos
Rusia está discutiendo la aparición en el sur del país de tanques T-72 con protección de "Javelins"
El ReporteroEn el contexto de otra grave agravación del conflicto en Donbass, las redes sociales llamaron la atención sobre la transferencia de equipos rusos a las fronteras occidental y sur de Rusia. Además, sobre algunos modelos de armas del ejército ruso, surgieron interesantes discusiones entre los usuarios.
Por ejemplo, según Voennoye Obozreniye , apareció en la Web una instantánea de un escalón militar que transportaba tanques T-72B, algunos de los cuales estaban equipados con estructuras protectoras en las torres. Fue debido a esta solución de ingeniería que se desarrolló una de las discusiones.
Los comentaristas afirman que la fijación de vehículos blindados tuvo lugar en Krasnodar durante el paso del tren por la estación de tren. La fotografía muestra claramente que al menos dos tanques están equipados con las pantallas de celosía mencionadas anteriormente. Se desconoce hacia dónde se dirigía exactamente el tren.
Sin embargo, muchos usuarios lograron suponer sin razón que estaban "en guerra con Ucrania". Al mismo tiempo, llamaron a las estructuras de protección "toldos para el sol", "protección anti-jabalina" e incluso "la última palabra en la construcción de vallas".
En cuanto a la "defensa anti-Javelin" de la torreta de tanques contra municiones (la vulnerabilidad de estos vehículos de combate) atacando al objetivo desde arriba, entonces podemos hablar no solo de contrarrestar los sistemas de misiles antitanques portátiles estadounidenses (ATGM) FGM -148 Jabalina. Todos estos ATGM, cuyos misiles guiados (ATGM) pueden alcanzar el objetivo de esta manera, se incluyen en el símbolo mencionado anteriormente. Además, la estructura de la torre puede diseñarse para contrarrestar los ataques de drones, así como protección adicional contra armas en tándem. Esta es una suposición, ya que el Ministerio de Defensa de la Federación de Rusia no dio sus comentarios sobre este asunto.
Cabe señalar que en el verano, las imágenes de los tanques rusos con estructuras protectoras de varias formas en las torretas de los tanques ya aparecieron en la Web. Sin embargo, en ese momento, los usuarios asumieron que esta técnica se enviaría a Siria. Esta vez, su opinión ha cambiado debido a lo que está sucediendo en Ucrania.

Terminators a prueba en el ejército ruso
Russian military receives Terminator vehicles for testing

(Vasily Maximov/AFP via Getty Images)MOSCOW — The Russian military on Monday received its first batch of Terminator tank support vehicles for testing.
The Terminator, previously financially neglected by the Defence Ministry, proved its effectiveness during recent Russian combat operations in Syria.
Russian state television showed Terminators attached to the 90th Tank Division in the Chelyabinsk region of the Urals on Dec. 2. “The uniqueness of this car is its ability to follow three targets at once with all of its weaponry systems,” Col. Andrey Sigarev, the deputy commander of the tank division, told Channel One television.
The Terminator is equipped with the supersonic anti-tank missile system Ataka, which is able to reach targets up to 6 kilometers, two 30mm guns that can be used against infantry forces and helicopters, two grenade launchers, and a Kalashnikov submachine gun. The vehicle can reach a speed of 60 kph and is operated by a crew of five. Its design is based on the T-90 tank.
According to military experts, one Terminator can replace a motorized rifle platoon of 40 soldiers and six armored vehicles.
Russia’s military has received eight Terminator vehicles, which will be tested during military exercises. The vehicles, first shown to the public during the annual military parade in Red Square in 2018, took part in the Russian operation in Syria.
“The Terminator has proved itself a ‘universal soldier’ who can independently fight terrorists armed with small arms, grenade launchers and [anti-tank guided missiles], as well as resist tank platoons equipped with UAVs,” Victor Litovkin, a retired military colonel and senior military analyst for the Russian government’s news agency Tass, told Defense News.
Its battlefield experience “dispelled the doubts of generals about its adoption by the Russian Army and increased its export potential,” Litovkin explained.
In 2010, the Defence Ministry abandoned plans to financially support the Terminator’s development. During that time, the ministry was headed by Anatoliy Serdyukov, who once proposed the purchase of foreign-made weapons to boost military modernization.
The Terminator is designed by UralVagonZavod, the country’s leading tank producer, which, despite its export potential, heavily relies on state support. It also produces rail vehicles but has experienced problems breaking even. However, according to Russian media reports in 2020, the firm made a net profit of $2.6 million. It was last on Defense News’ list of the top 100 defense companies in the world in 2018, where it ranked 46th place, having brought in $1.865 billion in defense revenue for 2017.

Russia has delivered a second batch of T-72 main battle tanks (MBTs) and BRDM-2M 4×4 armoured reconnaissance vehicles (ARVs) to the Lao People's Armed Forces (LPAF).
The Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) said that the handover took place during a ceremony to commemorate the 71st anniversary of the founding of the LPAF.
The first batch was delivered between December 2018 and January 2019, with a Laotian source telling Jane's at the time that the LPAF was receiving "several dozen" T-72B1 tanks.
The vehicles were unveiled during the 2019 parade marking the 70th anniversary of the LPAF.
