I want to remind the community a little bit about a very interesting pattern - the "Drozd-2."Recall that KAZ "Blackbird" was the first such complex, put into service and is fitted as standard on the tanks. Naturally with the adoption by the theme of the hour was developed. As a result, the curtain of the Soviet Union, we have a new, significantly improved complex, designated "Drozd-2."



The greatest interest in working out early active protection somehow manifests the St. Petersburg Commercial Bank "Spetsmash", with the result that "Arena" and "Drozd-2" were installed on the T-80U. Because by the time the assembly "ears" was moved to Omsk, then to business registration KAZ to combat machines are connected and Omsk KBTM. Were collected two tanks. T-80UM1 - with the "Arena" and T-80UM2 with "Drozd-2."



However, the beginning of the 1990s was marked by the slogan "Everything for Sale". Both options KAZ, do not yet finalized and adopted for service and his army were put up for sale. Information about them appeared in the export directories themselves tanks being shown at an arms fair.



This fact, as well as for "Drozdov" Ukraine in the United States, have played with these KAZ cruel joke. The Russian army immediately give them up, asking the development of new, more advanced systems. Those steel KAZ "Standard" and "Afghani". However, developments on "Drozd-2" were not in vain. He was considered the most promising complex, and if not treason, it certainly got our tanks. Confirmation of these words is the fact that the T-80UM2 not long shone on exhibitions Arms (unlike his brother with the "Arena") - very fast machine has registered at the site BTVT Research Institute, where many participated in various experiments. Actually, the development of new KAZ was with an eye on it, "Drozd-2." T-80UM2 despite the fact that the old and as a platform and KAZ, participated in various "closed" shows high authorities before the end of the 2000s. This wonderful machine is alive to this day - it is very much like fotkatsya campaigners from the security company, posing as a cool "tankmenov." Below I suggest a small corresponding fotopodborochku:
