MOSCOW, October 1. /TASS/. Uralvagonzavod Group (part of the state tech corporation Rostec) has sent a new batch of tank support combat vehicles to Russian troops, the defense manufacturer’s press office reported on Wednesday.

"On the eve of Ground Forces Day, Uralvagonzavod Group sent a new batch of tank support combat vehicles to Russian troops. This armor is unrivaled both in Russia and abroad in terms of the combination of its combat and technical characteristics. Tank support combat vehicles qualitatively bolster tank and motor rifle troops and serve as reliable protection for both tanks and infantry," the press office said in a statement.

Tank support combat vehicles have performed well in the special military operation in Ukraine and are highly needed in Russian troops. The experience of their use has showed that these vehicles can be employed both in conjunction with tanks and as self-sustained combat equipment. These vehicles carry a powerful weapons suite capable of effectively striking enemy targets, including drones. An advanced fire control system, all-round protection and high mobility ensure the combat vehicle’s considerable supremacy on a modern battlefield and make it indispensable for land troops, it stressed.
