Tireks tank is patented in Ukraine - competitor "Armata"
It is stated that "resistant to cumulative ammunition" Tireks "," will be equipped with an armored capsule with seats for three crew members, as well as an uninhabited tower. "
The tank is supposed to be armed with a “125-millimeter gun with a remote-controlled automatic loading mechanism and machine guns.” The machine will be equipped with dynamic protection "Knife" and "Doublet".
At the same time, it is planned to manufacture the tank of the “new generation” from the old Soviet T-64 and T-72 vehicles.
Earlier, the chief editor of the Ukrainian Defense Express magazine Sergey Zgurets stated that the first sample tank Tirex will be released before the end of 2016. As stated in the message of the creators of the tank, "the new vehicles are comparable to the most modern armored combat vehicles, including the widely publicized Armata."
Recall, in November, the Ukrainian media reported that the creation of an experimental copy of the Tireks was frustrated “because of the raider seizure of the Kiev factory Atek, where the creators of the machine worked, the Engineering Group Arey” (previously, the Engineering Group "Azov" ").
