The tank also has improved NBC (Nuclear, Biological, Chemical) protection and an automatic fire suppression system to minimize the risk of crew casualties.

Mobility

The T-72B3M incorporates several upgrades to enhance its mobility. It is powered by a 1,100 horsepower engine, which provides increased speed and acceleration compared to its predecessor. The tank also features improved suspension, allowing it to navigate rough terrains with ease.
