The NSVT 12.7 mm machine gun (Russian: НСВТ) was commonly installed on T-80U tank turrets from the late 1970s. It served as an effective defensive weapon for engaging aerial targets and light enemy vehicles. T-80U tanks equipped with this weapon participated in military operations in the Caucasus, the conflict in Donbas, and remain in service with the armed forces of Russia and other countries after the fall of the USSR.

We recommend this product to experienced modelers who expect the highest level of detail, as well as to enthusiasts building dioramas with realistic battle scenes.
