We’ll have to see the new specs of the ZTZ99A’s APS as they’re not listed yet. There’s no name of it yet either, maybe at the airshow in November we’ll see more. We do know it uses the same RADAR as GL-6. It’s probably called GL-7 but who knows.

I wouldn’t worry about that here. You should try and get the armor fixed on the Abrams as a whole so that whatever RU ammo it receives doesn’t matter, at least frontally.
You talk about M1147?
Here is a video of this system being tested.

I had this video in the Imagery/Media section when I made it but I moved it to the main part of the post so everyone can see it. 🤙
Also, changed the BR to 12.0 to reflect the new changes coming up for Battle Ratings.

During the same photo release, a T-72B3A as seen in the post is also getting outfitted.

- A T-72B3A with extra roof protection, updated Relikt ERA side armor, and Arena-M APS, in active service. This version is based off of the T-72B3 obr. 2022.

It is not a fact that it is based on the model T-72 (2025)…Maybe based on the model 2025…He also has T-90 rinks…

Is this tank good in irl, how does arena work against drones?
Supposedly the system fairs well against all
air targets like missiles, drones, etc. It’s been highlighted to be able to hit top attack munitions like Javelin ATGM’s. Not known to do anything versus KE munitions as far as I’m aware. I only say supposedly because the main specifications are classified.
In-game this tank would be very good, almost exactly the same as the T-72B3 in-game but with APS.
They should add an upgradable option like the UBH kit to install on the 72-b3, does the new version of 72b3 come with relikt armor on the frontal plate or is still the K-5?
I would like to see an upgrade 72br3 tank, by the way I read somewhere that the 90m had a reverse speed of up to 10km is that true?
Since this is quite a drastic change with the APS it’s unlikely it would become a modification. Typically mods usually remove around armor modules/anti-mine armor. It still comes with K-5 but a newer version of the T-72B3A could come with Relikt. There’s already production T-72B3 obr. 2025’s with Relikt ERA on the UFP and K-1 on the LFP. No reason to not see a obr. 2025 with Arena-M. This one does have the ERA above the front quarters (above the tracks) like the T-90M but the UFP is still K-5.
Idk the facts behind it, I think there was a T-90M tested with a new transmission but production T-90M’s retain the ~5km/h reverse speed.
Thanks for the update, it would nice to see the 72-B3A with relikt front plate, what about the spall liners are they installed in it as well? We could potentially use it as a third reliable option in combination with 90m and 80bvm.
