Ukrainian T-64BV was better than the Russian T-72B3

Ukrainian T-64BV was better than the Russian T-72B3

You don't know, Ukroboronprom boasted about, that SE "Kharkiv Armored Plant" upgraded more than a hundred T-64BV tanks. For a number of characteristic features, these cars have already been noticed by experts more than once in relatively fresh photographs from Ukraine.. They received the code name "T-64BV sample 2017 of the year". Nevertheless, the first official information caused significant seething among the masses, especially among Russian fans of armored vehicles. At the same time, Russian official media, such as, for example, "Rossiyskaya Gazeta" or the TV channel of the Ministry of Defense "Zvezda", immediately labeled, type "Tank for the poor", started writing about, that Ukraine is copying Russian tanks, that Ukrainian tanks do not start engines, and such nonsense. As for me personally, then many, who have been tracking armored topics for more or less a long time remember, how I fought with crests for the truth. For he always strove to be independent in his assessments. But this time too, despite, that I do not feel any passion for the Ukrainian tank industry, from the word completely, the frankly false and propagandistic tone of our media began to break and mangle me.

That's what he's for? If the opponent is weak, and you are strong, then it is not proper to make fun of his weakness - it is enough to smile condescendingly and grin, not sinking to pouring garbage cans. If strong - all the more you should keep quiet, proudly clenching teeth, but certainly not to become an ostrich, pretending that you are fine. These are my beliefs. And that's about the T-64BV sample 2017 of the year, then I turned to my friends in the Armed Forces of Ukraine with a request to tell about the car from the position of a professional operator. I think, don't be surprised, that I have friends on both sides of the Donbass front. The story is short, but not uninteresting. Especially, it is almost first hand. So…

"T-64BV mod. 2017 of the year, indeed, for the first time, they entered the troops in 2017. Including our team. I didn't talk much about them on the forums.: on “Lost Armor”, in Tarasenko, on “Take it off”. Although the upgrade is good. Now, when the MOU officially announced them, I think I can tell you about their one and a half year operation. Thank God, not in combat. Modernization includes: replacement of TPN-1-49-23 with solid waste, replacement of TKN-3V and TVN-4 with the same ones with image intensifier tubes 3+(or 4) generation, GPS with antenna, new radio with secure encrypted channel, new NDZ. And every little thing-apk in both directions, gilzozbornik -“accordion”, and PPO with optical sensors instead of diesel engines of old and “inhibited” firefighting (just memorized a word, without really understanding).

Operation manual T-64BV mod.2017. is not particularly different from the serial T-64BV. The engine is still the same, although on some “Bulatovsky” on 850 HP. Apparently in the future they plan to put it, maybe just tried.

New boxes for remote control (without protrusion for laying the edge PVV-5A) allow you to put both the old element and the new one based on “Knife”. The same new HSKCHV is free to put in old boxes. AND “Knife” justified itself. In real business (on another machine) never failed.

KUV is still the same “cobra”, just restore it. plus y “Bucky” bought, rumored, a lot of 9M124 bookmarks 1989 of the year. They are of no use to him.. And not a fact, that they are not yet transiting from the Russian Federation… A fairy tale about “pipets magnetron if you do not train” turned out to be a fairy tale. How strange to us 9M124 on 4800 m hits the target. Although in the performance characteristics 4 km indicated… How to explain it? On the students we shoot with our old stocks 9M112. KPMka our brigade checks them regularly.

The sight is good – for 3 km “Kuma” you get into the armored personnel carrier. The most interesting, that the first cars with TPV came from “moon”, “so that the enemy does not guess”;-))) A special form of EDZ was invested in it. Then we went without “Moon”.

Latest cars from capital 2 years go all in this configuration. And those who did not enter the capital in the troops are brought to this level by rembats and remrots. I did it myself on a couple of cars. – nothing complicated, all fasteners and connectors fit. Even the APK turned out to be easy to complete according to the attached instructions.. Then an elementary shooting of TPV, replacement of DZ, gilzaka and all. A stress-free day of work. The photo is not taken down, you know… Brother, Yes… All this modernization affected not only the T-64BV…”Bald” Bashki and B1 get a new EZ location, T-72AV Lvov and T-80BV Kharkov are the same…»

Something like this ... And now on my own behalf ... Yes, modernization is not rich, but quite sane and clearly justified. If what Kharkiv residents are doing now with the T-64BV is called "Tank for the poor", then the "famous" Russian T-72B3 in their mass configuration - in general, "Tank for the poor".

The sight is quite comparable in its characteristics with the Belarusian "Pine" and "Essa". In Runet they say a lot about the “all-Russian” Irbis, yeah that's where he is? link: “Lybid K-2RB” - turned modern "Motorola". Against our long-obsolete R-168 (more 20 have been advertising for years, yes, they didn’t bring it to mind, although from hopelessness we put everywhere). DZ "Knife" is better than our "Contact". As for the effectiveness of the elements themselves (their minus is only a high specific gravity), as well as in terms of cover area. satellite navigation, which we don't have at all.. with missiles, as we see, everything is also not bad - they work, what else do you need? In addition, unlike laser-guided TOUR, you can’t put optical interference on them, OR sensors do not detect. Closed anti-aircraft machine gun installation - a big plus, especially after, like the Syrians, the commanders of the T-72 were almost expendable - we have it, do not put, they don’t even put elementary protection around the hatch according to the experience of Iraq and the same Syria.

Most importantly, the plant retained state property. Whoever, no matter how crests ridiculed, and it was only by this decision that they ensured defense capability and mobile readiness. Yes, no big order, but work can start at any time, and this upgrade shows it again. But here UVZ made AO. It means, that the leadership does not care about maintaining mobility readiness - only for money. No money, no orders - the whole enterprise, sharpened solely for profit will fall apart.

Again, for the money ... Unfortunately, Ukroboronprom does not announce the cost of modernization. However, it doesn't seem to be big.. Can be easily produced in the troops. But we also pay a lot of money for almost the same. all because, that the monopoly of a commercial enterprise. That's what I want to say: rich is not, who saves money or, on the contrary, throws it away - he is rich, who uses them rationally!

Overall, having upgraded more than a hundred T-64s, Armed Forces of Ukraine have seriously raised the level of their tank fleet. get started, God forbid, second round of ATO, guys from Donetsk and Lugansk will have to take a dash. Well, or the “big brother” will again have to bring in his brigades to help. And this is again the sanctions, sanctions, sanctions…
