In the US Army, we called it a “track jack”.
Strange looking turret, allow me to introduce a T-64A mine clearing vehicle, thank you Gur Khan…
A demining combat vehicle based on the T-64A tank was seen in the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Slavyansk direction. During the conversion, the gun was dismantled from the original tank and a set of KMT roller and knife trawls was mounted. In this case, only one knife trawl is installed.At present, perhaps this machine is used as a tractor.

Saw this in a news topic regarding Russian Tank stuck in Ukraine Mud during this season.
Interesting to note that this tank seems like a T-72 AV (anyone can confirm) model that is rarely seen in this conflict.

the actual design came from Diamond Chain, and has been adopted by many people over the years. I think the Army was one of the last to use it.

Also interesting that a few different camera angles can totally change the backdrop view as well

Seems a pretty straight forward box construction which mirrors the front. Only different bit is the yellow support bar under the top segment and just under the 4 yellow squares that looks like it joins the top and bottom blue parts.

Going back to the images of the T90M H.P posted above … I have looked at various links about it and the T90MS and it seems like the MS is an export version. but its a bit hazy as to what the actual differences are between the 2. Are any of the differences external and what are they - or are the export versions just produced with different lower tech internal systems ?
I have the Zvezda T90MS kit, and if the differences are internal only, I can build it as one from this war ?

I think this link may have been posted already in this topic.
T-90S was the export version, later used by Ruassian army as T-90A
and later M-odernized to T-90MS
