Ukraine offered to modernize the Brazilian tanks M60A3

Ukraine invited Brazil to modernize the Brazilian army Tanks M60. Specialists of the Kharkiv Malyshev Plant came up with a corresponding proposal.

Representatives of "ZiM" held a presentation for the Brazilians, during which they presented their own concept of modernizing the M60 tanks.

As explained, even before 2014, the specialists of the Kharkov Machine-Building Design Bureau worked on the modernization of the American M60 tank. Why this work was carried out is not reported, most likely it was a kind of "reserve for the future" associated with the planned entry into the market of modernization services.

The version of the modernization of the M60 developed in Kharkov provides for the replacement of the "native" turret of the tank with a turret from the T-84-120 Yatagan tank with a 120 mm cannon, replacement of the engine with a more modern Ukrainian two-stroke 6TD6 boxer diesel engine with a capacity of 2 l / s reverse transmission, as well as the establishment of dynamic protection, active protection complex "Zaslon" and the system of optical-electronic suppression "Varta".

Kiev noted that the technical condition of the M60A3 tanks purchased by Brazil in the United States does not meet modern requirements, and the modernization according to the option proposed by Ukraine would allow a significant part of them to be returned to service with new combat capabilities.

Modernization option developed in Kharkov

The engine from Zaporozhets, the goose from KhTZ and dynamic protection from plywood ...

Ukraine offered to modernize the Brazilian tanks M60A3

Ukraine wants to replenish its fleet of tanks at someone else's expense. Tanks for modernization will be taken away and not returned.
And they got to Brazil after stories with Croatian MiG-21s, kidalov on cooperation in the field of transport An-178 with Peru, An-74 with Kazakhstan, "intentions" to cooperate with Azerbaijan and Saudi Arabia, cracks in the hulls of armored vehicles sold to Iraq and Thailand. And that's not all. Oh my God. Run away from them Brazil before it's too late.

Kaklam cannot even be trusted to paint them.

Well, why not? If only they tell you to paint in yellow-blakitny as they paint all the benches and benches in this color, then with a bang. Even for free, I think they will paint. For the idea, so to speak, volunteers will only be gathered. Besides, the national colors of Brazil and Ukraine are similar (yellow-green and yellow-blue).

[fruc]

I even saw a public toilet smeared with yellow-blacite paint near the train station.

In Sevastopol, all garbage cans were painted in zhovtno blakite colors, fences. They marked everything they could reach ... Insanity! Zhovtno blakit flags on every outhouse, children's playgrounds in zhovtno blakit colors ... It seems that no other colors were produced in Ukraine. Glory to Russia that we are Russia!

I would be pleased if our garbage dumps were painted the same way. You see, the Merikatos would love it too.

I liked the deal with the An-74, especially the decision of the Economic Court of the Kharkiv region, which considered Kazakhstan's claim to terminate the contract and return the advance payment of $ 15,202 million. So in the court decision it was said that Russia is to blame for everything, and Kazakhstan should forget about the An-74, about the advance payment of 15,202 million dollars and go with God ...

"There are many wild monkeys in Brazil" who are modernizing tanks even without their Ukrainian counterparts.

[Cutter]

One thing is surprising! REALLY closer "modernizers" was not found ??? Brazilians, run from there "faster than the wind" ... They destroyed their economy, now they will destroy your tanks. Make BENDERAOPLOT ...

[Eldorado]

Let Ukraine modernize! Brazil is a threat to our Venezuela!

Naturally, she is also included in BRICS.

[kventinasd]

There will be another cut of the dough of those interested in the capabilities of the Ukrainian military industry. Brazilians should take into account the experience of Chinese investors on the example of Motor Sich - "the money was yours, and the steel was ours" and if cho, "Omeriga will help us"

[Mavrikiy]

How much do the Brazilians need to sell instant coffee for upgrading their tanks? And taking into account the logistics? Overseas and a heifer - half, and a ruble ferry.

[Doccor18]

Replacing the turret, cannon, engine and electronics is a 75% new tank. How much will it cost
such an upgrade?

[Cat]

It’s interesting how the tower from the T-60 will be on the M84 shoulder strap?

[Pereira]

The cracks will be filled with polyurethane foam.

[The leader of the Redskins]

Technically, the idea is interesting, but the price will be cosmic. ZiM has such an option - the modernization of the T55. MTO, machine gun, 120 ...
The price was the same as for a new tank.

[Constanty]

Typhon 2A - surprising also for a South American country - Peru - for $ 2 million at prices since 2010.

In fact, in Peru, the upgrade was similar to that of the T-60 Saber.

[Morglenn]

Wouldn't it cost as much as a new tank in terms of price?

[Herman 4223]

Saving only on the tank hull. According to their mind, they need to be offered a replacement, hang up an active defense, a new weapon and refresh the filling. But for the filling it is cheaper to go to China. Defense in Israel would be better, but the weapon of fame in terms of quality and resource did not work for itself.

[Morglenn]

Yes, it would be better to buy a completely new T-84 in this case.

[Herman 4223]

For this, it is necessary to make a case somewhere, the case was no longer made under Yushchenko.

[Herman 4223]

Yes, 6TD and a cannon from a water pipe (the pipe plant should do it, as I remember) is what they just lacked. Upgrade exactly.

[Cananecat]

And tell me, with whom is Brazil fighting or preparing to fight? Maybe we will put new ATGM complexes there, after the modernization carried out by kaklami?

[Morglenn]

The crazy Bolsonaro runs it. There's nothing to arm this psycho

[Ros 56]

Are the independent dunce better?

[Dimide]

There was a forum of military-technical cooperation. Brazilians are so far interested in ATGM, joint Bayraktar, AN-178 and, oddly enough, modernization of ships at our shipyards. Our "Wishlist" has not yet been reported

[Ovsigovets]

vPTRK "Stugna" I will still believe .... the rest of the "Wishlist" will only smile

[Dimide]

"Stugna" is not sold for export.
"Corsair" and "Skif" are coming.
"Wishlist" are possible by mutual offset, but in fact, bmp (without the slightest clue)

[Ovsigovets]

not the point in the name, the point is in the form of a product ..... I believe in the ATGM ... the rest is very doubtful ..... AN-178 died .... already the fact that everything was done with Peru, Bayraktar is not only that the Turkish is not all, and that what the Turks themselves do not do is not the wheels on the chassis. Modernization of which ships and at whose shipyards ??? Brazilian ??? mdaaaaaaaaaaaa ....... across the ocean to drive the ship to the stinking half-dead shipyards ?????

[Dimide]

I recently read that the construction of an aircraft for Peru is on schedule.
The state defense order for the next year provides for the construction of three aircraft for the Armed Forces of Ukraine with a deadline of 23.
Turkey may be, like you, under sanctions, but we are not. Canada is generally in "gold"
I was surprised at the shipyards.
Answer that you are so "flattened" by the shipyards, something personal?

[Ovsigovets]

read the news from Peru))))) where it is more interesting ....... Three aircraft for the APU))))) miles sorry, but you are an optimist ... let's at least wait 2022 ...... Your gold with Canada does not in any way affect the supply and creation of BayraktaroV)))) who told you that joint production is production in Ukraine ????? ahahahahahaha ..... TB2 for the Turks is a hot commodity and what that, but the Turks will not give up the production of these golden eggs to Ukraine. Once again ...... are you really talking about the repair of BRAZIL ships in Ukraine ???? Well, you read at least a little about shipbuilding and shipyards in Brazil ... unlike you, they still build ships))))

[Ovsigovets]

Let me immediately outline with whom you are now in polemics entered. I believe that there are no tanks based on the "armata", because they have not been ordered (there is no firm contract), they have not been produced, transferred or accepted by the army in mass production mode ...... therefore a phrase like "but on the forum they said "I, in principle, do not take seriously

[Dimide]

And not going to
Let me clarify that the plane for Peru was recently demonstrated online for the Peruvian Ministry of Defense.
Contact confirmed.
At the expense of Bayraktar, we found a place for a joint venture near Kiev. From next year they will begin to assemble from modules.
In the fleet, he himself is not clear

[Ovsigovets]

oh ... you can argue forever .... I suggest based on the results))))))

[base1]

That's what I was laughing! Great news! thanks

[Evil Booth]

well, let's have another laugh.
m60 tank because it carries artillery shells, the Abrams is not a tank because it carries only anti-tank shells and some firecrackers. in total abrams in the usa active as many as 1000 pieces. leopards are made in greece, in the LDNR tank park is larger than the usa england france germany combined by those leclerk leopard challengers. There is no air defense in NATO at all, and the Saudi port is an example of this, a dozen patrites, a dozen other complexes and zero sense. tigers so fiercely bypassed t34 that they were unable to take Kursk in a couple of months when the eagle returned more of them (tigers) (after all, the tiger is cooler! =)). UAVs are so effective that having a cost of 30 pieces of su34, they will throw off the mass of ammunition as 1 su34 at a time, but many times less, in terms of the number of pieces, like everything but at a time)), is it possible to hit targets not by reconnaissance from UAVs and with artillery forces? yes .... actually as always !. did the blah bomb abrams? yes)) 10 years before Karabakh? Yes! vnato air defense and will not be .....

I hope the Brazilians are smart enough not to get involved with the country of embroidered shirts and pots.

It seems to me that it would be more correct to do this:

[Most kind]

They will take the money and the tanks will drink, in short, as usual, the Ukrainians have run out of something, either money or tanks, they also were not given an urgent loan.

[gurzuf]

I immediately remembered the MIG-21 modernized by Ukraine for Croatia

[Ros 56]

These Banderlog are so modernizing that then what the hell you find, they have already shown themselves.

[Gray-haired Zinnik]

Ukraine offered its drawings

[Lesorub]

The Brazilians will clearly disagree - replacing the turret, the engine is too expensive, and even after the contract (to put it mildly, not entirely successful with Thailand for the supply of Oplotov and BTR 4 to Iraq), potential customers will think 100 times if they need it.

[svoit]

And why didn't they impose modernization on the Turks, there are 60 ki and 48 there, a gold mine

[volodimer]

Here, too, immediately thought about it! Probably because Erdogan, although inadequate, is not a degenerate.

[Alexander X]

They will cheat .. They will take the money on an advance payment and cheat ..

[Eug]

Ukraine's "partner" - Turkey - has its own version of the T-60 modernization. Let's see who wins the competition.
