1. COMBAT SYSTEMS
Combat systems developed
by the Research and Production
Corporation “Uralvagonzavod” are well-
known throughout the world. Combination
of firepower, high mobility, balanced
protection circuit, and high-quality
responsiveness to command make our
combat systems effective and reliable.

2. TANKS The story of success of the Research and Production Corporation “Uralvagonzavod”
is directly linked to tanks. Most machines designed and produced within the walls
of the Corporation enterprises are rightfully considered to be legends of the Russian
tank construction. Various models of T-55, T-62, T-72, T-80, T-90 are included
in armament both in Russia and abroad and represent the major part of tank armament
in a significant number of countries. Russian tanks combine high firepower, protection,
responsiveness to command, mobility and ergonomic effectiveness while maintaining
their traditional reliability and ease of operation.
20 21
3. T-72
Fire, armor, and maneuverability are embodied in various modifications
of the T-72. Tank designers managed to provide a significant reserve
for upgrade and creation of special vehicles on its basis. This tank
was developed for combat actions. Undeniable advantages of the T-72
were appreciated by professionals around the world — this combat machine
was recognized to be the best and most mass tank of the second half
of 20th century and it was listed in the Guinness Book of World Records.
The T-72B Modernized is a balanced version that has undergone
extensive modernization during which any gaps in characteristics between
it and modern foreign tanks, including characteristics of firepower,
protection, mobility and responsiveness to command were eliminated.
Reliability, Firepower has been improved by means of installing
efficiency, potential enhanced accuracy gun, refining ammunition and increasing
penetration ability, improving ballistic performance,
modernization and therefore the fire accuracy.
Level of protection for the T-72 was optimized with improved
explosive reactive armor, electromagnetic protection system,
quick-action fire-fighting equipment, optical-electronic
countermeasure system, and with measures aimed
at reducing visibility.
Solutions to improve mobility of tanks are implemented
by installation of modern diesel engines and upgraded
propellers.
Improved command control is provided by integrating
the tank in an automated tactical control system
with the use of satellite navigation systems.
22 23
4. Tank T-80U
Reliable and time-challenged tank, T-80U is the first
production tank in the world to be equipped
with a gas turbine engine for main propulsion.
It is designed to fight in different geographical
and climatic conditions. Tank T-80U is a combination
of guided missile and artillery weapons, effective fire
control system, high mobility and manoeuverability,
reliable armour and explosive reactive armour.
Simplicity and ease of operation, ability to negotiate
any obstacles and reliability are the hallmarks
of T-80U.
Speed, To produce the T-80U for export, a number of activities
simplicity, were implemented to enhance the tank's competitiveness
in the global arms market. An important feature of the T-80U
and ease family is the possibility of ordering different configurations
of operation according to conditions and needs of the buyer country.
24 25
5. T-90S
The new generation of Russian
tanks — the rocket-gun tank
T-90S. The T-90S is an
implementation of most advanced
technological solutions.
The T-90S with its reactive
armor and optoelectronic fire
suppression system is not just
equal for combat and technical
characteristics to the best tanks
in other countries, but in many
ways it surpasses them.
Firepower, The T-90S design is based on careful research
protection, and understanding of tactics and strategy of using tanks
in actual practice of modern combat, with consideration
mobility of long-term experience of military operating the T-72
tanks in different countries, as well as the results
of its long intensive testing in the harshest conditions.
The T-90S is light in weight as are Russian tanks
traditionally; it is a small-sized, well-armed
and highly mobile tank.
The T-90S features optimal fitness for combat operations
at any time of day and night, exceptional reliability of all
components and assemblies, mechanisms and systems,
excellent mobility and maneuverability regardless of any
weather and road conditions, including high dust and high
altitude conditions, and the minimum cost of training
highly qualified specialists.

6. Tank T-90S Modernized
The T-90S Modernized is a heavily
armed combat tracked vehicle
equipped with advanced fire control
system and reliable armor protection,
with a high level of maneuverability.
Armament of the T-90S Modernized is a complex
Modern technical system that combines effective interrelated types
technology of armament, fire control and ammunition supply systems,
and improved ammunition load. It allows the tank to fight
in building in any climate and landscape conditions at any time of day
tanks and night. The use of weapons of the tank with maximum
efficiency is achieved by equalizing search capabilities
of gunner and commander. This allows organizing a fire
control system highly efficient mode of «gunner — hunter»
when the commander, regardless of time of day, can monitor
the target environment when underway or stationary,
identify targets and pass them to the gunner for elimination,
and continue searching for new targets. Today, the T-90S
Modernized is the modern main battle tank with high
strategic, operational and tactical mobility.

7. BMPT
Tank support fighting vehicle BMPT is a conceptually
new vehicle in the Corporation product line. It features
a very high level of self-protection, fire power,
and controllability. The vehicle has power to destruct
tanks, infantry fighting vehicles and other armoured
targets of the enemy, to repel attacks of helicopters
and low-flying aircrafts, to destruct the enemy’s
permanent emplacements, and manpower armed with
grenade launchers, antitank systems, and small-arms.
BMPT provides high-volume fire and the possibility
to deliver aimed fire against four targets simultaneously.
Russian Thanks to its powerful and quick-fire armament
“Terminator” BMPT can provide significant combat
support to infantry and tank units destructing
the enemy’s firing points in the open country
and in built-in areas, i.e. in trenches, ditches
as well as in buildings. At present designing
and production of advanced tank support
fighting vehicles is one of the priority trends
in the development of armoured vehicles
and their armament.
BMPT is designed to be used in tank units
for the enemy’s tank-threat means destruction.

8. SALVO FIRE SYSTEMS Heavy flamethrower systems are one of the effective
means of thermobaric and volume-detonating weapons.
The destructive radius of 3,500 meters and the ability
to launch 30 missiles in 7.5 seconds provide for immediate
control over the area. The systems were successfully used
in local conflicts and counter-terrorist operations.
32 33
9. Heavy Flame Thrower System TOS-1A
The TOS-1A was designed for defeating enemy
weapons and military equipment, fortifications
and personnel (including those in fortified
constructions), as well as for initiating fire
islands in country.
The combat vehicle works in cooperation
with tanks and infantry, moving around their
combat formations. The TOS-1A is capable
of striking with accuracy up to 10 meters
due to a special fire control system.
The TOS-1A is a powerful tool for fire damage.
The system includes combat vehicle BM-1
and re-supply vehicle TZM-T.
