Functional quality of caterpillar fighting vehicles can be assessed upon its original project design and technical characteristics. However, lapse of time, technical and technological progress, battlefield dynamics, new and evolving threats can negatively verify both offensive and defensive effectiveness of such vehicles. As a result, appears need of modernization addressing new threats and requirements. Main goal of modernization is to achieve advantage over potential enemy fighting vehicles. This work is an attempt to analyse possible development patches and despite technological and materials progress inseparable increase of the vehicle’s combat weight on operating capabilities of such vehicles.
