The Yatagan MBT is a further development of the Oplot MBT fitted with a NATO 120mm
smoothbore gun fed by a bustle-mounted automatic loader.
The Yatagan MBT uses locally
produced components and subsystems, although systems of foreign origin
can be incorporated at the customer's request.
This MBT was designed in 2000. Its design features the technical
solutions tested during modernisation of T-72-120
battle tank.
In some publications the Yatagan MBT was also referred
to as the KERN2-120 (name of prototype) or the T-84-120.
