Subsequently, information will be presented to the Security Council of the State and to other authorities which are entitled to it. The results are that the tank has really confirmed the envisaged parameters and in some aspects it has even succeeded beyond our expectations. In my opinion, the results are very solid particularly in the field of manoeuvrability of the tank, its cross-country capability, and radar camouflage. If I were to compare the classic tank and this modernised one, and I don't want to be very brutal toward the T-72 which I know very well, I wouldn't like to sit in a tank which would face the modernised one. The conclusion of the military tests, as proposed by the committee, has confirmed that the technical parameters in both passive and active protection of the crew have been met, has proven a high manoeuvrability and cross-country capability, and an increased firing efficiency.
Some issues still remain to be resolved, though.
These include e.g. questions of ergonomics, or logistical issues concerning e. g. maintenance and operation. But this is going to be clarified after the first months of training when we are able to say what the tank really needs in this respect. To conclude, it can be said that the T-72 tank in this version has been upgraded to the level of a third to fourth generation tank. The fire control system had been really a controversial part of the tank and it has actually caused the delay of the whole T-72 project. This has been widely covered by the media and there was a severe discussion to this point.
