Soviet era tanks now in use by NATO: Slovenian M84A4

The M84 was a Cold War era Yugoslav development of the Soviet T-72, upgraded with ‘western’ style sighting system and wind sensor.  The prominent wind sensor on the front-top of the turret is the giveaway identifier.

The bracket strapped to the gun tube is for the charges that simulate the gun firing.  The amber light on the turret is the wound-damage/kill light, it flashes temporarily if you are ‘damaged-wounded’ and flashes constantly if you are ‘killed’.
