Armament
The main armament of the M-84AS consists of one 125 mm 2A46M smoothbore gun. The 125 mm gun can fire different types of ammunition, including the APFSDS (Armour-piercing fin-stabilized discarding-sabot) with a maximum range of 2,100 m, HEAT-FS (High-explosive anti-tank fin stabilised) with a maximum direct fire range of 4,000 m and HE-FRAG(FS) with a maximum indirect fire range of 9,400 m. The M-84AS can also fire the ZUBK14 round comprises a guided rocket, designated 9M119 AT-11. This ammunition is fitted with the 9K120 guided weapons system, dubbed Svir, enables the crew to fire the guided rockets while the tank is stationary, day and night to a range from 100 to 4,000m. A 7.62mm coaxial machine gun is mounted to the right side of the main armament. A remotely controlled weapon station armed with a 12.7mm heavy machine gun is mounted on the hatch commander. It offers more accurate fire when the tank is on static position or on the move against ground targets and low flying helicopters. The turret is fully stabilized and controlled from the commander main sight. As the Soviet-made T-72 MBT, the M-84AS uses an automatic loader for the main gun.
Design and protection
The M-84AS layout is similar to the Soviet-made T-72 with three main compartments, driver at the front, turret in the middle and power pack at the rear. The turret and the hull of the M-84AS is made in high-hardness steel, titanium and aluminum. The front of the hull is fitted with NERA armour which consists of metal plates of non-explosive reactive armour to deflect some of the kinetic energy of a KE penetrator and the effects of a HEAT round. The front of the turret is fitted with a modular Kontakt-5 armor. The Kontakt-5 is a type of third-generation explosive reactive armour (ERA) designed and developed by the Soviet Union. It is the first type of ERA which is effectively able to defeat modern armour-piercing fin-stabilized discarding sabot (APFSDS) rounds.
Mobility
The M-84AS is motorized with a V-46TK Diesel engine developing 1,200 hp. The torsion bar suspension on each side consists of six road wheels with the idler at the front, drive sprocket at the rear and three return rollers supporting the inside of the track only. Shock-absorbers are fitted at the first, second and sixth road wheel stations. The M-84AS can reach a maximum road speed of 72 km/h and has a cruising range between 450 km and 700 km. It can cross trenches of 2.8 m and vertical obstacles of 0.85 m. It has a fording depth of 5 m and a ground clearance of 0.47 m.
Accessories
Standard equipment of the M-84AS includes an overpressure-type NBC protection system, night vision equipment for all three crew members, unditching beam carried across the hull rear and a laser warning device activated by laser range-finders, command-information system KIS M84, laser designators or precision-guided munitions fitted with a laser guidance device. To increase its protection the M-84AS is fitted with a with the modern Shtora electro-optical system for defense against wire and laser guided anti-tank missiles. An Active optoelectronic protection system - SOFTKILL is mounted on the turret of the tank with detectors on each side and at the rear of the turret, based on integration of laser detection device, radar detection device and smoke pot launcher with efficient smoke pots in the visible spectrum, IR, thermal and millimeter radar spectra. The gunner has an independently stabilised, day/night, two-axis, line-of-sight sighting system. The commander's panoramic surveillance and observation station (TOMS) provides surveillance and reconnaissance even in low-visibility conditions, up to a distance of 10km. The TOMS is fitted with a wide field-of-view CCD TV camera, laser rangefinder, narrow angle black-and-white TV camera, and a thermal imager. There is also an integrated day/night sighting device DNSS 2ATK with a thermal imager.
