Sub-Echelon of Armoured Units
The sub-echelon includes the modernized M80-AB1/V2 infantry fighting vehicle, M-84 AS 1/2 and AS 1/2/3 tanks, and the T-72MS tank.
The sub-echelon is headed by Lieutenant Colonel Milan Kuburić.
M80-AB1/V2
The M80-AB1/V2 is a lightly armoured, tracked infantry fighting vehicle designed for mechanized units. Its primary role is to engage and neutralize enemy personnel, armoured vehicles and other ground-based combat assets, as well as aerial targets within the effective range of its integrated weapons systems mounted on a remotely controlled combat station and the personal weapons of the mechanized section personnel.The section consists of three crew members and seven additional troops in the passenger compartment. It is armed with a remotely controlled station with a 20 mm M55 gun, a 7.62 mm PKT machine gun, a 125 mm 9M14M anti-tank missile launcher with two launch rails, a 30 mm automatic grenade launcher, and an 82 mm smoke grenade launcher. It is powered by a 10-cylinder 10V003 diesel engine producing 235 kW, with a maximum road speed of up to 65 km/h.
M-84 AS 1/2 Tank
The M-84 AS 1/2 tank is a tracked combat vehicle designed to destroy enemy armored combat vehicles, manpower and other combat assets. It is a modernization of the M-84 tank. It is armed with a 125 mm cannon. The tank's sighting and observation devices have been modernized and a remotely controlled combat station with a 12.7 mm machine gun (DUBS 12.7 mm) has been installed. In order to increase ballistic protection, the concept of adding additional armor has been implemented. The crew consists of three members.
T-72MS tank
The T-72MS tank is a tracked combat vehicle designed to destroy enemy armoured fighting vehicles, personnel and other combat assets. The crew consists of three members. It is armed with a 125 mm gun, a 7.62 mm PKT machine gun and a 12.7 mm KORD anti-aircraft machine gun. It is powered by a 615-kW engine, allowing for a maximum speed of 60 km/h. The modernized T-72MS tank has been significantly upgraded compared to the basic T-72 variant in all three key areas of the so-called “tank triangle” (protection, firepower and mobility. The T-72MS tank is equipped with modern optoelectronic devices, thermal imaging, a navigation system connected to the GLONASS/NAVSTAR satellite navigation systems, an automatic target tracker that improves its firing accuracy by 30 per cent, reduces target designation errors, and when calculating the target’s angle using relative velocity, significantly shortens engagement preparation time and increases fire efficiency through the implementation of the "hunter-killer" function. The T-72MS tank features first-generation ERO (explosive-reactive armour). The ERO armour is modular and can be installed on almost all types of vehicles. Additionally, it is equipped with eight smoke grenade launchers (81mm) located on the left side of the turret.
