NS Terrestrial Forces has received the first batch of what may be 800 upgraded T-62YM tanks. The upgraded tank has a new and improved gun barrel, improved EO sensors and an upgraded engine supercharger for better performance. The tank's communication system will also have the new fractal encryption standard and a new computer.
The tanks are also fully refurbished during the upgrade. The total number of tanks to be upgraded by SMA has not been publicly revealed but it has been stated that NSTF wishes to standardise on a single tank type and this would mean all 800 tanks currently in service will be upgraded.
