The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine named the main battle tank of the Armed Forces of Ukraine for the next 25 years

Main battle a tank The Armed Forces of Ukraine will remain the T-25 for the next 64 years. Deputy Defense Minister Alexander Mironyuk, who is in charge of weapons issues, told Defense Express about this.

According to Mironyuk, the T-64 will remain the main battle tank of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the coming years, albeit in a modernized version. The deputy minister specified that at present, development work is underway under the code "Crab", within which the tank will be modernized, which will allow it to operate for another 25 years. The first prototype of the improved T-64 of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine is expected to receive in late 2021 or early 2022.

The main battle tank of the Ukrainian Armed Forces is and will be the T-64 in the coming years. Now the development work of the "Crab" is underway, which provides for the modernization of the tank so that we can operate it for another 25 years. The first stage has already been completed - the development of design documentation. We hope that by the end of 2021 or early 2022, we will receive the first prototype of the modernized T-64.

- said Mironyuk.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces also require, in addition to the T-64, the supply of Oplot tanks. The deputy minister specified that development work is also underway with respect to this tank under the code "Bastion", which provides for the complete replacement of Russian parts in the tank with domestic or foreign ones. The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine plans to receive the first sample of the new completely import-substituted "Oplot" in 2023.

development work is currently underway under the code "Crab"

Crab is a symbolic name. Probably claws and will collect ...

[Thrall]

work under the code "Crab"

,

work under the code "Bastion"

If you carefully encrypt the work, then no one will ask for the lack of results

[Pessimist22]

For too long, they swung 25 years, Ukraine will not live that long.

[altimo1]

And you need to give them the opportunity to last longer. To get full of your shit.

[TermNachTer]

As Khoja Nasreddin said: either the donkey dies, or the padishah, no one can check))) but in general - sheer nonsense. In combat units, they do not want "bulat", because it is heavier by 3,5 tons - the "hodovka" does not stand up, if we make it more heavy - it can only ride on asphalt)))

[Orange bigg]

Crab is the name of the Polish self-propelled gun, Bastion is the name of the ground-based launch complex with the Onyx anti-ship missile system, although new names could be invented.

And also ... sideways, sideways ... to move ... Earlier, in Soviet times, Kharkov tanks had more and more "plant and river" names: "Ob", "Alder", "Birch" "and so on, etc...

[Labrador]

Crab - again a grab and run concept?

[altimo1]

Well yes. Steal from the word Ukraine.)))

[Genry]

Quote: altimo1

You are a little wrong. On the contrary. The name of the country appeared after the noticed mentality.

[altimo1]

This is the thought, the word to steal from "Ukraine". Why is it impossible to defeat corruption there? Yes, because Ukrainianity consists of this: lies, betrayal, corruption, ...

[evgen1221]

Oh, gods, a whole new OBT was conceived, but the fact that this is another variation of an old car with new whistles is apparently the norm. And where is the new tank? Armata is new, but in what place except letters after 64?

[Roman_LKW]

And sho is massively produced and accepted into service, my bose should everyone be afraid not to hide money?

[Starover_Z]

And this is generally a CLASS!

The deputy minister clarified that with regard to this tank, development work is also underway under the code "Bastion", which provides for full import substitution of Russian parts in a tank for domestic or foreign production.

Change one "imported parts" for others, but also imported!
This is what import substitution means "Ukrainian"!

[Pessimist22]

And where is the killer Armat, the unsurpassed Tirex that was shown in the picture?

[Ru_Na]

Well, that's what the picture is for, the paper will endure everything, you can even draw a death star in zhovto-blakite colors, but this does not mean that they will have it in service! The main thing is populism, to feed the cheers of the patriots with weapons and an ambulance!

[Constanty]

Tirex, if I remember correctly, was not a project of the Ministry of Defense, but a private initiative of the neo-fascist Azov.
Another thing is that if you look closely at the drawings presented, it was also de facto based on the T-64.

In fairness, apparently, in the same place as the armata ...

And armata is already in mass production

[Kot_Kuzya]

Even the simplest mortar cannot really make pots, but here they are talking about a tank. It's time for them Rostika to send the tanks to design

[Ru_Na]

As long as the resource of operation and modernization allows, the Armed Forces of Ukraine will use them to the holes, but what will happen next, they will probably adopt military cars of the times of the civil war!

[alexmach]

As long as the resource of operation and modernization allows, the APU will use them to the point

Well, in fact, in my opinion, the approach is quite reasonable.

it depends for what purpose ...

[Borz]

And what is it ?! “Azovets” didn't go? Are you out of doorphone cameras? Or were you under the sanctions? Rivet shushpantsy, Panov, and do not be distracted.

[Alexey-74]

Which country, such and MBT, is symbolic ...

[orionvitt]

the next years, the main battle tank of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will remain the T-64

Who would doubt that. However, not only for the coming years, but forever. How much time is left for them.

[APASUS]

How did it happen? This is the same thing that is not a communist tank, this is another zrada! They are so diligently pouring mud on everything Soviet, and for 30 years they could not create anything to replace the T-64

[Katanikotael]

Rumor has it that the hulls of tanks at the burial grounds are running out, they probably choose on the basis of what they should create a new tank, on Altai or Centurion.

[SaLaR]

Bastion's stronghold fell under the Crab ....))

[Ros 56]

Ha ha ha. And the banderlogy itself will live that long?

[Roman_LKW]

Since Ukraine has already lived with your prayers for 30 years and we will continue to live without you, you will somehow live without friends and neighbors, your army and navy are your main friends.

every year it gets worse and worse ...

sure! it is possible without us! ask Afghans and Yemenis !!!!

Quote: Roman_LKW

you will somehow live without friends and neighbors, you have the army and navy as the main friends.

for 7 years already the whole world is with you .... ukraine is the poorest country in europe since 2018 ..... with such friends and enemies it is not necessary !!!
and besides, Catholic friends of the Orthodox sounds the same as the Sunnis who are the Shiites' sidekicks)))))))))))
ps
take off your rose-colored glasses, Ukraine is turning into a great banana republic !!!

[Roman_LKW]

I think it has nothing to do with faith, real Catholics probably only stayed in Poland. Ukraine, through the efforts of the oligarchs, has long been a banana republic, we have one sheer theft. But our society is developing and after the Maidan, not a single president can already feel free - sho gunpowder sho Zelya they are like on a powder keg, they can burst at any minute. And you? While Putin lures and does not allow the oligarchs to get very impudent, you sit in the stall straight. Our oligarchs have lost their shores completely, the only benefit from the Maidan is that more and more people understand that it is impossible to live like this.

Faith I think has nothing to do with it

you shouldn't think so ... all world history shows the opposite ...
especially since the worldview forms the worldview ...

Quote: Roman_LKW

yes we noticed, the murder is live and the killer is not guilty .... etc.

Quote: Roman_LKW

no president can already feel free - sho gunpowder sho Zelya they are like on a powder keg

with external control, you may not have a president at all ... the president in Ukraine does not decide anything ...

Quote: Roman_LKW

And you?

and ours is much better than yours ...

Quote: Roman_LKW

The only benefit from the Maidan is that more and more people understand that it is impossible to live like this.

and does not understand how you can ...

[Roman_LKW]

He understands at the everyday level, and as soon as he becomes either a deputy or an official, one thought at once - How to steal!?!
We do not need any loans for a long time, they themselves have a lot of money. But firstly they steal, and secondly they force them to take more, driving future generations into bondage and putting Ukraine in a pose of cancer. There will be another civil war - between the poor and the rich, or they will go abroad, while the coronavirus has suspended the mass departure.

[Ros 56]

So far you have lived by plundering what was left after the USSR, and today you even buy lard in Russia, not to mention energy, a storyteller.

[Roman_LKW]

Duc say thank you, what else are we buying, we are probably the largest buyer with you, without us you will fry your bacon on your gas and eat cabbage soup, will you lose your buyer and sho?
And of course you don't eat up the legacy of the USSR, you built everything new anew, so shut off our gas and oil pipelines, let us explode faster ...

[Ros 56]

I would have blocked it, it would have been my will, and your banderlog would have been cleaned out and normal Ukrainians would have supported me in this.

[Vlad Pervovich]

The crab is somehow undignified, they would call it right away ... Kraken ;-)))

[Cat]

Those. Abrams and leopards will not be?

[Constanty]

In my opinion, this shows very well the scale of the country's collapse.
Ukraine inherited from the USSR a really developed industry, powerful factories in Kharkov. Their design office was one of the best in the world.
Many breakthrough projects, Favorite "Rebel", "Hammer", "Boxer", "Nota" showed potential and possibilities.

Initially, it ended with a modified T-80UD with a new turret and the name - Oplot.
Now it turns out that even this has surpassed the capabilities of the fallen state, and there remains one more modernization of the old tank. The T-64 is a revolutionary tank for its time, but already in design, at the beginning it was extremely modified and without any modernization potential - and that was half a century ago !!!

It is better to let them get along with Poland and take the PT-91 and T-72M1 and upgrade them in Poland even to the level of PT-91 - this will be more effective until the money is stolen by other "shadow" intermediaries.
It won't do much good, but it might be possible to avoid ridicule and blame someone else.

In a sense, Malysheva, Kharkov, I'm sorry - you really need to be able to screw something up!

[NEOZ]

it was the 7th year of the Russian-Ukrainian war ...

[Director]

named the main battle tank of the Armed Forces of Ukraine for the next 25 years

I will not be surprised if soon "Decommissioned Abrams" of sand color will appear at the "valiant APU" ..
And if you recall, after the collapse of the USSR, the Ukrainian Army was the second most equipped in Europe (after Russia)! Where is everyone? There, after all, not only weapons and warehouses were left, but also the powerful military-industrial complex of rocketry, tank building, shipbuilding and other other things ... Until now, they cannot plunder and destroy everything.
Soon Biden will complete everything completely)))

[Sancho_SP]

Well, maybe it will go sideways? So that's an interesting solution
