DEVELOPMENT
The M-84 is a main battle tank that was developed by the Yugoslavian defense industry in the 1980s. The M-84 was designed to provide the Yugoslav People's Army (JNA) with a modern and capable tank that could be used in a wide range of scenarios, including modern combat operations.
PROPERTIES
M-84 is equipped with a 125mm main gun that is capable of firing a range of different ammunition types, including armor-piercing and high-explosive rounds. The tank is also equipped with a 7.62mm machine gun for close-range protection and a 12.7mm machine gun for engaging aerial targets.
The tank is protected by composite armor that provides a high level of protection against small arms fire and shrapnel. The tank is powered by a diesel engine that provides the tank with a top speed of up to 65 km/h. The M-84 has a crew of four, including the commander, gunner, loader, and driver.
SERVICE
The M-84 was widely used by the JNA during the Yugoslav Wars and was involved in numerous combat operations. After the collapse of Yugoslavia, the M-84 was used by several successor states, including Serbia and Croatia. The M-84 has also been exported to several countries, including Iraq and Kuwait.
Today, the M-84 remains in service with several countries, including Serbia and Croatia, and is considered to be a capable main battle tank that provides its users with a modern and effective platform for modern combat operations.
