Upgraded T-64BM "Bulat" tanks appeared "during exercises" in Donbass

Ukrainian tank crews conducted exercises in the territory of Donbass, not far from the contact line. According to the press service of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, crews were involved in the exercises tank subunits from the grouping of forces, performing tasks in the southern direction.

According to the report, the tankers are improving their skills in moving and maneuvering on rough terrain, changing the direction of movement and deploying tank units. It is especially noted that Ukrainian tank crews conducted training on "fairly modern" T-64BM "Bulat" tanks.

(...) Ukrainian soldiers conduct trainings on fairly modern machines of the BM "Bulat" type, which were manufactured already in this century, and in the last few years they have also been modernized at the State Enterprise "Plant named after VA Malyshev"

- writes Defense Express.

According to the commander of the combined forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Lieutenant-General Sergei Naev, practical training sessions are held every day.

The reason that the exercises of the tankers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine took place near the contact line in Donbass was most likely a desire to show the "separatists" that the Ukrainian army has "fairly modern" tanks. How many tanks took part in the exercise is not reported, according to the publication, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have "more than 50" modernized T-64BM "Bulat" tanks, but they were sent to the reserve brigade for storage.

Now, obviously, the republics, especially the DPR, on the southern face of which this window dressing is arranged, must demonstrate fairly modern anti-armored vehicle systems.

Your question is provocative enough, but nevertheless I will answer it.
If (suppose purely HYPOTHETICAL) that in the federal center, that is, the hero city of Moscow, the group neo-Nazis-Vlasov (by analogy with the Ukrainian events, where Nazis-neo-Bandera were involved) will carry out an anti-constitutional violent coup / seizure of power, then NATURALLY I will support any region of Russia that opposed this.

The essence of what is written, in analogies "here and there," I hope you understand? No extras required?

[Merry_Militarist]

In general, I am against any violent overthrow of the government, especially since such in the current conditions will lead to the collapse of our statehood.
Our eternal "partners" will no longer miss the opportunity to finish us off, which they missed in 1917 and the period of the civil war and 1991 after the collapse of the USSR.

Therefore, it is important that the authorities do not wind up and give the people a chance to breathe, then there will be no "revolutionary components" either.

Are we sending the Tu-95 to a landfill too? And what are we going to do with the Soyuz spacecraft from the early 70s? You can walk around the Navy, in particular the Atlantes, etc. You can say as much as you like "yes we are there ..." only the fact remains: after Maryinka 2015, no one liberates any Kiev anymore (I mean, not in words, but in deeds). So do not touch "Bulat", they still have the "Oplot" MBT, and those who are on the front line (not virtual) even consider them very much.

[TermNachTer]

Who in the Ministry of Defense or the General Staff of Russia calls all of the above "sufficiently modern"? How much is pr. 1164 or Tu - 95 and how much is a tank?

What are we going to do with the Soyuz spacecraft from the early 70s?

... to learn that only the name, the division into three compartments and the axis of symmetry remained from "that" "Union" in "Soyuz-MS". The Tu-95 is also not in the subject: thanks to the evolution of the weapons it carries (bombs → X-20 → X-55 → X-101), as well as avionics, it has changed qualitatively relative to the original Tu-95. And, in fact, the Tu-95MS is not even a Tu-95, but a Tu-142.

[Skyscream]

The Soyuz spacecraft, originally from the 70s, regularly carries astronauts into orbit. And what are we going to do with the Shuttles? And with the famous telescope, which now has nothing to maintain?

Tell me, weren't you going to liberate the administrative borders of the Luhansk and Donetsk regions too? I don't even know how to ask for Slavyansk more accurately. He actually held out with all his might while the novorosiya "concentrated". Or was he also not included in the plans of the "liberation campaign"?

I also do not know. Precisely because I do not remember anywhere that said that they have so many guns. And you can't fight a lot with grenade launchers, as well as towed artillery. The Ukrainian army is not quite the same as it was in the days of the "boilers".

But I believe that they can be helped "from the north" under certain conditions.

[Merry_Militarist]

I also do not know.

Well, let's estimate, in conditions of dense urban / industrial development, grenade launchers can even "solve", especially since the Armed Forces of Ukraine still have a Soviet armored vehicle park with minimal modernization, or even without it at all. But in battles in open areas, the skill of anti-tank crews will probably decide, although there are few of them, but the APU has not that many tanks either.

Or like this. "Dana", won, have already bought ...

This is exactly what he had in mind, saying that "you can't do much with grenade launchers." Are you talking about ambushes and close range shooting? Well, he will, of course, bend one tank, and then motorized riflemen will cover him.

[Merry_Militarist]

Well, the grenade launcher should not act alone, everything is done as part of a unit, a lot will depend on experience and tactical training. I don't think that the Ukrainian Armed Forces have much experience in storming large cities like Donetsk, or large industrial zones.

You mean ambushes and close range shooting

The grenade launcher is the only way to work, so that for sure, but mobile groups of anti-tank men with anti-tank systems (yes, even on the same UAZs) can ruin life in open areas and maneuver very quickly.

[carstorm 11]

The APU is the APU. It is impossible to efficiently supply an army simply by targeted supplies of relatively new weapons. We still need to raise three who will control this army. They also went an even longer path with a change in standards. And in fact now this herd does not have any normal old management and does not yet have a new one. Such a thing in itself. The transition to new standards is a marathon, not a sprint. In fact, they are now even weaker than they were in 14. Simply for the simple reason that the army is tradition and training. These are standards and training for them.
