0:47
land, air, and sea. And you can see
0:49
behind me one of the highlight of the
0:52
show. This is a new version of the H84.
0:56
It's a previously it was a tank
0:58
developed during the Yugoslavia and is
1:00
based on Russian T72A
1:03
but now you can see a modernized version
1:05
of the M84. It is M84 AS2 AS3. It is
1:10
very unique because they use new
1:13
technology to modernize an old Russian
1:16
tank. The general design of the new
1:18
version of the M84 is very similar to
1:21
the previous version. But one of the
1:24
most important new features is of course
1:27
protection not standard protection. You
1:30
can see that there is also new uh active
1:33
protection system located on inside of
1:36

1:39
capabilities to protect the tank against
1:41
direct attack of anton guided missile of
1:44
rocket populates grenades. There is also
1:47
additional armor, explosive reactive
1:50
armor mounted around the turret,
1:52
especially at the front of the turret
1:54
and also at the front of the hull. There
1:56
is also a new armor package on each side
1:59
of the vehicles. There is also
2:02
era explosive reactive armor mounted on
2:04
each side of the turret. This type of
2:06
armor offer new protection capabilities
2:10
against modern anti-ton guided missile.
2:13
In in time of armorament, you can see
2:14
that the tank is also fitted with a new
2:18
remotely operated weapon station armored
2:20
with a 7.62 mm machine gun. Internally,
2:24
the layout seems very similar, but there
2:26
is also new modern system integrated to
2:29
the tank. There is new modernized gunner
2:32
devices. There is also a new fire
2:34
control system. There is also anti-
2:37
drone device, new telecommunication
2:39
system, commander video super system.
2:42
The main gun consists of one 125 mm.
2:46
They can fire also new type of
2:47
ammunition. One of the most important
2:50
new features of this new modernized
2:52
version of the M84s is the localization
2:56
of the automatic loading system mounted
2:59
externally at the rear of the turret.

3:05
block is the new automatic loading
3:06
system. And on each side of this block,
3:08
you can see also the radar system for
3:10

3:14
Serbia's latest modernization of its
3:16
Russian origin T72 main battle tanks
3:19
into the advanced M84 AS3 configuration
3:22
demonstrates the country's ambition to
3:24
bring its armored forces to a level
3:26
comparable with leading Western tanks
3:28
such as the US M182 Abrams, the German
3:31
Leopard 2 A7, and the French L Clerk.
3:36
The M84 AS3 integrates newly developed
3:40
modular armor and explosive reactive
3:43
panels designed to withstand modern
3:46
anti-tank threats alongside an active
3:49
protection system capable of
3:52
intercepting incoming projectiles.
3:55
Its new digital fire control unit,
3:57
thermal imaging, and computerized
4:00
panoramic sighting systems allow for
4:02
faster target acquisition and superior
4:05
accuracy in both day and night
4:06
operations. Coupled with upgraded
4:09
communication and battlefield management
4:11
systems, the M84 AS3 modernization gives
4:15
Serbia a modernworked armored platform
4:19
that bridges the technological gap with
4:21
NATO standard main battle tanks. while
4:24
retaining the mobility and compact
4:27
combat profile of the original T72
