Historical Skins: T-80UM-1 Defender

Commanders!

As every year, we’re preparing a series of Russian-themed skins, camouflages, decals and flags for the Defender of the Fatherland Day celebrations that take place on February 23 and the main part of the bundle will be the T-80UM-1 Defender skin.



The skin is based on a T-80U belonging to the 4th Guards Tank Division “Kantemirovskaya” shown during the Day of Tankmen in Kubinka in September 2006. The division is stationed in Naro-Fominsk (south-east from Moscow) some 20km from the Kubinka proving grounds so it absolutely makes sense for its vehicles to be shown there.



The vehicle featured standard Russian service camouflage with an interesting paintjob. A falcon with a Russian flag was painted on both sides of the vehicle. Additionally, the word РОССИЯ (“Russia”) was painted on the frontal rubber skirts protecting the lower frontal plate. An official Russian crest is painted there as well.



It’s worth noting the same paintjob existed at least since 2001 when the tank celebrated 20 years in service. The number 336 is also taken from another Kantemirovskaya T-80U. Our skin also features the tank’s name (Bars) on the snorkel tube at the back of the turret.



There will be other items available during the event, such as:
  • Russian Defender camouflage (as seen on a T-62M in 2018, also in Kubinka)
  • Kantemirovskaya Division Tactical Emblem decal
  • White Star decal
  • Russian Bear decal

We hope that you’ll enjoy these items and, as always:

See you on the battlefield!

Offer: Lynx Skyranger

Commanders!

Today we’ve prepared the following items for you:
  • Lynx Skyranger Tier 10 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle
  • Leopard 2 Revolution Tier 8 Premium Main Battle Tank
  • Leclerc T40 Tier 9 Premium Tank Destroyer
  • Marder 2 Tier 8 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle
  • AMX 10 RCR Tier 8 Premium Tank Destroyer
  • Pile of Gold Loot Crate
Between February 15 and 22, 2024, the following items will be available:

 
[h2]Lynx Skyranger[/h2]
 

This is a version of the cutting edge Lynx platform but instead of the standard IFV configuration, it utilizes the Skyranger HEL turret to create a short-range anti-aircraft vehicle that can also eliminate drone swarms with ease. This configuration was proposed for the recent Hungarian military upgrade program but never built in real life. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the Lynx Skyranger is a Tier 10 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle. It’s best used as a scout killer but it is capable of other roles as well. It features three rather unusual abilities, such as the programmable HE ammunition that explodes above targets, the Starstreak missiles that deal more damages over larger distances and ignore APS, and the High Energy Laser active ability. When activated, the laser blinds enemy targets, significantly reducing their spotting range. You can learn more about these abilities from our developer diary.

The Lynx Skyranger Tier 10 Premium AFV is available in our Web Shop via Loot Crates. Collect 100 blueprint pieces from these crates to obtain the vehicle.

 

 

 
[h2]Leopard 2 Revolution[/h2]
 

The Leopard 2 Revolution is a continuation of the older Evolution upgrade, intended to improve the performance of the older variants of the Leopard 2 Main Battle Tank in order to make it excel even on the battlefields of the 21st century. The improvements include a comprehensive armor upgrade, ROSY soft-kill APS and smoke grenade launchers as well as an entire suite of cutting edge electronics. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the Leopard 2 Revolution is a Tier 8 Main Battle Tank. It is not only well-armored, it also features an extremely accurate 120mm gun with advanced ammunition, allowing it to destroy its opponents at very long ranges, rivaling those of Tank Destroyers. The German tanks in general perform best at longer ranges and the Revolution is no exception.

[h2]Leclerc T40[/h2]
 

Sometimes called the French Terminator, this vehicle was designed on the Leclerc MBT chassis with one purpose in mind – to accompany tanks and fight off infantry attacks the same way as the Russian BMPT series does. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the Leclerc T40 is a Tier 9 Premium Tank Destroyer. It offers you a combination of a durable hull, rapid-fire 40mm automatic cannon and, most importantly, the Javelin missile system. Simply right-click the target, wait until it becomes locket and fire the Javelin ATGM – it will home itself on the target, attacking its weak roof armor. Thanks to this ability, the Leclerc T40 is one of the most destructive vehicles in the game.

[h2]Marder 2[/h2]
 

The Marder 2 was an experimental German IFV, developed in the late 1980s to replace the aging Marder IFV. It featured more armor, a new turret and a brand-new Rheinmetall dual-caliber autocannon that could fire both 35mm and 50mm rounds. Despite its qualities, the vehicle was never accepted in service due to its high cost and because it was no longer needed because of the fall of the Soviet Union. A single surviving prototype can be found today in the Koblenz military collection. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the Marder 2 is a Tier 8 Armored Fighting Vehicle. With its 44 tons, it’s one of the heaviest and toughest AFVs around. Unlike many other AFVs of its Tier, it is not armed with guided missiles, relying instead on its extremely powerful 50mm autocannon. This vehicle can also deploy Mechanized Infantry.

[h2]AMX-10 RCR[/h2]
 

The AMX 10 RCR is the updated variant of the French AMX 10 RC fire support vehicle by GIAT, originally developed in the early 1980s. This light and nimble wheeled 6x6 AFV was armed with a 105mm gun, allowing it to knock out even armored targets at considerable distances. Over 200 of these aging vehicles were upgraded by Nexter in 2010 with improved armor and electronics, enabling them to fulfill modern battlefield tasks until their eventual replacement by the Jaguar. You can learn more about its history in our dedicated article!



In Armored Warfare, the AMX 10 RCR is a Tier 8 wheeled Premium Tank Destroyer. It’s incredibly agile with its wheeled chassis allowing it to outrun pretty much any enemy on the battlefield save for the fastest AFVs. Its gun accuracy is also top notch, making this vehicle perfect for sniper-style gameplay as its thin armor can’t protect it against enemy shells at close distances. This vehicle also comes with the Hydraulic Suspension active ability.
