The T-80BVM tank with this sight installed, has a characteristic appearance and the turret of the tank with it looks as follows:
Defense Express notes that the information about the T-80BVM without this sight was first confirmed in January of this year, when it was noticed that the much simpler 1PN-96МТ-02 was installed instead. Subsequently, the same sight instead of the Sosna-U was seen on the T-72B3, which russia called the 2022 model.
Another interesting point of the report became the shells that are now being used by the invaders. In particular, a high-explosive fragmentation projectile in a poor condition with traces of rust. The visible year of production is 1981.

And this situation applies not only to artillery shells, but already to tank shells and, most likely, to the entire nomenclature. In particular, photos of ammunition received by one of the units of the russian army recently appeared.
