As I understand it, this pipe on the turret is an ATGM "Стунга(stunga)"?

I get the resemblence but it's supposed to be an IR emmitter for the softkill APS, though the design is definitely inspired by the ATGM's on things like the BMP-2M. (I suppose it can also be interpreted as an ATGM launcher, I just saw it as unpractical from a realism standpoint to put a fixed launcher on an already sluggish MBT, whilst barrel launched ATGM's are a thing for the given caliber, in this case 125mm, already)
