The reactive armor is applied later. You can see mounts for it on the entire Hull, reactive armor isn’t always mounted during peacetime either due to it being basically an explosive and hence poses some danger to people outside.




Also I do not believe this is the first batch of AK-1s, but maybe the first batch of properly serially produced AK-1s? Or the first batch in a while? Not sure there.

A beauty of and the beast combined. Congratulations everyone. A good day to see AK-1 deploying for the service.
:pakistan:

I think the further treat is not mentioned in the tweet but never mind.
This should keep me cool for a while now at least :yahoo:

Note the ERA bricks all around the turret of the tank in the later part of the video. Good to see that. ‘hopefully someone like dazzler can do a full analysis of all the new things, if any, visible in the video, especially the interior.
