Is there a "great tank-building" power Ukraine?

In January 2021, a Ukrainian propaganda video was released on YouTube "Pitfalls of modernization of T-64", in which the noted fennel propagandist Sergei Zgurets, raised on Western grants, demonstrates that he understands little about technology. And even more so in tanks.

Secret notes of Ukraine


This passionate fan of squealing on Ukromov "condescended" to the Russian language and in this video he broadcasts in the great and mighty. With undisguised aplomb, he talks about the "great tank-building" power Ukraine with a long-term school of tank building and how it plans to modernize its tanks.

Immediately striking is the impudence with which he categorically broadcasts about the Ukrainian school of tank building, which allegedly created the world's best T-34, T-64 and some kind of super-secret Nota tank (about Nota a little below).



The T-34 and T-64 tanks were indeed some of the best in the world at one time. But what does this newborn state have to do with them?

These tanks are the result of the colossal work of the Soviet school of tank building, stationed in Kharkov at a time when there was no Ukraine, and even more so no "great ukrov" even in sight.

I have always had pride in this high-class domestic school, to which I had the honor to once belong.

You are filled with the deepest contempt for the new-born fennel propagandists who are trying to impudently and unreasonably ascribe to themselves the merits of other people's schools. And to declare the existence of some supposedly "Ukrainian" school of tank building, which is a bluff. If in Ukraine they can create something meaningful after 1991, then it will be possible to talk about their supposedly "school".

The video shows T-64 tanks under a collaborationist banner, which for me is just a "yellow and blue rag" and nothing more. Which is completely equivalent to a fascist banner over a Soviet tank during the Great Patriotic War.

Ukraine has not been producing its tanks for a long time.

All the tanks that it has in service are made in the Soviet Union. And she just exploits them.

In the 90s, Ukraine supplied a batch of T-80UD (T-84) tanks developed in the Soviet Union under a Pakistani contract. Then, with difficulty, she realized the delivery of several dozen Oplot tanks to Thailand (modernization of the T-80UD). And made up to two dozen modernized T-80UD for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

This was the end of the tank building industry of Ukraine inherited from the USSR.

Now we can only talk about the modernization of Soviet tanks, of which there are about one and a half thousand left in Ukraine. These are the T-64A (1968) and T-64B (1973) tanks.

There are no T-80UD tanks (1984) in Ukraine.

About 1984 tanks produced in 1991-700 remained in Russia. And now in storage. The last batch of 80 T-43UD was delivered against a Pakistani contract.

There is also no Oplot tank there. One sample of the tank, which Ukraine has undertaken to deliver to the United States, has been unable to leave the workshops of their plant since 2012 due to the complete collapse of production.

From the existing fleet of tanks, these are mainly T-64B.

Until 1973, not many T-64As were produced. And they went to all military districts.

Nevertheless, Zgurets (through his thoughtlessness) claims mainly about the alleged modernization of the T-64A.

In a conversation with him, a former employee of the KMDB Bogach objectively and intelligibly explains in what direction it is possible to modernize existing tanks, avoiding Zgurts's provocative questions.

Rich reveals options for upgrading tanks in terms of protection, mobility and firepower. At the same time, it leads to limitations associated with the capabilities of the chassis and the permissible tank weight up to 46 tons.

On protection - this is the implementation of the latest achievements in the field of dynamic protection. There are no other acceptable options.

The most interesting modernization options may be in the direction of increasing mobility and firepower. And I would like to dwell on this in more detail. (What this video does not say).

In addition, we will try to compare the capabilities of the tanks being modernized by Ukraine with the capabilities of Russian tanks, which have one common base - the T-64 tank.

Modernization of the power plant


An increase in the mobility of a tank is primarily an increase in engine power.

The T-64A and T-64B tanks were equipped with a 5TDF engine with a capacity of 700 hp. There are two options - installation of a 5TDFM engine with a capacity of 850 hp. or a 6TD-1 engine with a capacity of 1 hp.

There are no technical problems here. The 5TDFM engine was developed and tested as part of the tank back in the 80s. And the 6TD-1 engine was tested in a batch of tanks object 476 "Birch" back in 1976. And then it smoothly switched as a power plant to the T-80UD (1984).

The modernization of the power plant will be determined by the technological and organizational capabilities of the plant to produce the required number of engines. However, these very opportunities are just seriously undermined by the general collapse of industry in Ukraine.

To what extent can Ukrainian power plants be comparable in their characteristics to Russian ones?

The T-72 tanks of all modifications were equipped with a V-46 engine with a capacity of 780 hp. with. On the T-72B (1984) the V-84 engine with a capacity of 840 hp. with. S T-72B3 (2011) - V92S2 engine with a capacity of 1 hp. with. Both the T-000B72 (3) and the T-2014B72M (3) have a V2018S92F engine with a capacity of 2 hp. with.

That is, the installation on the T-64 of the 6TD-1 engine with a capacity of 1 liters. with. will allow the power plant to reach the level of T-000B72 (3). And in the future, go to the 2011TD-6 engine with a capacity of 2 liters. with.

Is this modernization possible?

Doubtful. Since for its implementation it is necessary to restore production and provide appropriate funding, sources of which are not available.

And they are unlikely to appear in the near future.

Modernization of the LMS


An increase in firepower during modernization can go along the path of using a more powerful cannon, using more powerful ammunition and installing advanced FCS.

All Ukrainian and Russian tanks are equipped with 2A46 cannon modifications.

Let me remind you that in Ukraine, with great difficulty, according to Soviet documentation and with the help of Russian specialists, it was possible to reproduce this gun. There are no other guns in Ukraine. And no one is going to change it there.

Ukraine's capabilities for the production of new ammunition (except for guided missiles) are practically zero.

Therefore, an increase in firepower can be made by upgrading the FCS. Moreover, the Soviet backlog of a fairly high level remained on these systems.

The T-64A tank has long been outdated in terms of fire efficiency. And seriously inferior to the T-64B. As such, there is no LMS on it. Only a set of sights and observation devices. The gunner has a TPD-2-49 day sight with a single-plane stabilization of the field of view, without a laser rangefinder and without a TBV, a gun stabilizer, a TPN-3 gunner's night non-stabilized sight, a TKN-3 commander's day-night non-stabilized device and a closed remotely controlled anti-aircraft gun "Utes" with anti-aircraft sight PZU-5.

On the T-64B tank was installed the first in the Soviet Union full-size OMS 1A33 with a 1G42 Ob day sight with two-plane stabilization of the field of view, a laser rangefinder, an optoelectronic guidance channel (together with a radio channel) of a 9K112 Cobra complex guided missile, TBV, modification the TPN-3 gunner's night sight and the commander's T-64A sighting system.

On the T-80UD tank, the next generation MSA 1A42 was implemented, featuring a modernized gunner's sight 1G46 Irtysh with a laser guidance channel for a 9K119 Reflex guided missile and a commander's sighting system based on the TKN-4S Agat-S day-night sight with single-plane stabilization of the field of view and a closed anti-aircraft installation with a PZU-7 sight.

For the upgraded Oplot tank, a commander's sighting system was developed and implemented based on a panorama with a two-plane system for stabilizing the field of view and a thermal imaging channel, and a thermal imaging sight was installed instead of the gunner's night sight. But this tank never made it to the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

All this suggests that tanks T-64B, T-80UD (T-84) and "Oplot" are quite advanced MSA, which have not lost their relevance today. There is the technical potential for a major modernization of the MSA of the existing generation of tanks.

But at the same time, there are also a number of organizational and production difficulties.

An increase in the firepower of the T-64A suggests itself, at least to the level of the T-64B. But this is impossible to realize.

The fact is that the production of the Ob and Cobra complexes was carried out at factories in Russia. And it has long been discontinued. (Instead of them Irtysh and Reflkeks are issued). Moreover, the Cobra guided missiles were not produced in Ukraine either. Therefore, the existing fleet of T-64B tanks, if these tanks are in satisfactory technical condition, can only be used in an artillery version without guided weapons.

Ukraine is lucky in other ways.

In 1989, the Cherkassk Instrument-Making Plant received documentation from Vologda on the organization of serial production of Irtysh and Agat-S sights for T-80UD tanks. And within the framework of the Pakistani contract, their production was organized there.

The rest of the FCS elements (such as the gun stabilizer, TBV and a number of others) were reproduced according to the available documentation. And on the basis of the Reflex rocket, the Kombat rocket was developed and its production was organized.

Now Ukraine is theoretically able to produce all the components of the FCS for the T-80UD tank and use them to modernize the FCS of the T-64A and T-64B tanks, bringing them to the level of the T-80UD.

But this requires the restoration of production capacity and the necessary funding.

Comparison of the FCS of Ukrainian and Russian tanks


Let's see how the modernization of T-64 tanks possible in Ukraine may look successful in comparison with the modernization of Russian T-72 and T-90 tanks.

On the T-72A tank (1973), the sighting system was completely borrowed from the T-64A tank.

On the T-72B (1985), a not entirely successful attempt was made to create an OMS that is not inferior to the OMS T-64B. A laser rangefinder was built into the gunner's sight and received a TPD-K1 sight. Instead of TBV, a ballistic corrector was installed with all its shortcomings, the 9K120 Svir laser beam-guided weapon system, which provides rocket firing only from the spot, was implemented in a 1K13 day-night non-stabilized sight, and the commander still had ancient modifications of the TKN-3 device.

It was only on the T-72B3 (2011) that the FCS began to form on the basis of a full-fledged gunner's sight "Sosna-U" with a thermal imaging channel and a laser guidance channel for the Reflex missile. But it was installed in a terribly inconvenient place instead of 1K13, retaining as a sight - a TPD-K1 backup. The commander's poor sighting complex has not changed.

On the T-72B3M (2018), a full-fledged sighting complex for the commander was finally introduced based on a panorama with a thermal imaging channel and the possibility of further transition to the Kalina fire control system.
The T-90 (1993) was not cunning for a long time. And they just moved the MSA from the T-80UD tank.

And on the T-90M (2019), the Kalina new generation fire control system was introduced, which includes the Sosna-U sight and the commander's panoramic sight, the Falcon Eye.

Comparing the FCS of the Ukrainian and Russian fleets of existing tanks, we can conclude that the main tank of the T-64B APU is at the level of the Russian T-72B, the T-80UD at the T-90 level, and the "Oplot" at the T-72B3M level.

It should be noted right away that the Russian army is beginning to gradually switch to the modernized T-72B3M and T-90M, the advantages of which in terms of the effectiveness of fire are beyond doubt.

Regarding the FCS (not yet accepted for service) of the Armata tank, it can be noted that it will not differ fundamentally from the FCS T-90M in basic characteristics. There has not yet been a serious gap there. At the same time, the tank does not have a single device with an optical channel, even duplicating the main sights. And this can be assessed as a disadvantage.

The modernization of Ukrainian tanks, despite the existing technical groundwork, is impossible. Due to the collapse of production and lack of necessary funding.

To carry out the modernization of tanks, it is necessary to organize production not only at the tank plant, but also the production of all components at several dozen factories, which, alas, is already impracticable in a collapsing state.

So this modernization can be viewed purely in theoretical terms. And nothing more.

Regarding the statement of the ukropagandist Zgurts about the super-secret promising Ukrainian tank "Nota", which never existed, one can only laugh merrily.

In the 80s, the last promising Soviet tank "Boxer" was really being developed at the KMDB, work on which was curtailed in 1991 due to the collapse of the Union and the impossibility of organizing a full cycle of development of such a complex product in Ukraine, requiring the involvement of specialists in various branches of science and technology. which have never been in Ukraine.

According to open information, later R&D "Nota" was carried out, within the framework of which pictures of a promising tank were drawn without involving subcontractors to work out the units and systems of the tank, without which it is impossible to create a tank.

It all ended with such pictures.

And Zgurets has been talking about some pseudo-promising tank for several years already.

    In January 2021, a Ukrainian propaganda video "The pitfalls of modernizing the T-64" was released on the YouTube channel. My Webpage
    Who wants to fold their mind

    And to declare the existence of some supposedly "Ukrainian" school of tank building, which is a bluff.
    But I do not agree, this is not a "bluff". There were several tank-building "schools" in the Soviet Union, and one of them has now become completely "independent". And she continues not only "her" line as in tank building and engine building, but also continues the development of the "Leningrad" school, which, unfortunately, is almost forgotten in Russia

      There were several tank-building "schools" in the Soviet Union

      Well, not schools, of course, but leading tank design bureaus, each with its own vision of the development of tank building. And in the front line there were two Kharkov and Leningrad. But the modest Tagilskoye survived, thanks to its chief Potkin. Who practically literally laid down his life for him.

        5 February 2021 13: 57
        Rather, it survived due to the fact that it was engaged in the most popular, massive and profitable projects for which there has always been a demand.
        Simply put, Tagil survived as a tank building center thanks to the T-72/90 and their derivatives.

          5 February 2021 15: 13
          Not. Only Potkin's efforts kept tank production in Tagil. He died in the workplace. In honor of him, the T-90 was named "Vladimir".
          That's how it is said in the article about him.
          It got to the point that factory # 9, which produces tank gun barrels for all post-war tanks, went bankrupt, and UVZ and its design bureau were next in line for the "Moscow" predators-privatizers! ...

          At the conference of the labor collective, the words of populists, demagogues, demanding "new", "effective and market" methods of leadership of the design bureau, its conversion to the production of civilian products sounded ... Potkin spoke briefly and harshly: "Look for another chief designer!"

          Colleagues knew this man well. A man of phenomenal honesty with a straight, heavy, unfriendly look, with a vocabulary that is far from being for lovers of fine literature.

          The healthy forces of the team took over: “Yes, we simply won't have work, we practically won't have money! ...” The explosive situation was resolved. Reason defeated emotions ... The team insisted that Vladimir Ivanovich stay at the helm of the design bureau in a very difficult period of time.


          And so.
          Vladimir Ivanovich Potkin substantiated the draft Government Decree on the adoption of the "object 188" -tank T-90 for the armament of the Russian army and to allow its export in an export version abroad. This is how the prospect of a breakthrough into the world arms market opened before Uralvagonzavod and UKBTM.

            5 February 2021 16: 32
            Not without this, but even with the preservation of the design bureau's profile and its competent management, the very preservation and development of it is due precisely to the prevalence of the T-72, platforms based on it and their development, including BREM, BMR, MSTA-S, IMR, TOS, MTU, etc.
            Plus, no offense to Potkin, but there was a much more interesting and promising project to replace the T-90 with the designation "Object 187", which offered a much more significant difference between the late T-72 and early T-90 at a slightly increased cost , but he was successfully forgotten.
            And in principle, if they produced the conditional T-80 and equipment based on it instead of the T-72, then now they would try on the fate of an ordinary armored personnel carrier and one could forget about the development.

              The fact of the matter is that in the early 90s the stake was placed on the Omsk T-80U. And it was even stubbornly pushed for export. And the Tagil design bureau really wanted to bankrupt. But in the end, everything turned out the other way around and it was the Omsk plant that began to overhaul the T-72, and not the Tagil T-80. The high cost of the engine let down the eighty. Although the tank is by no means better in basic parameters and more reliable than the T-72.

                He worked at a factory and saw how they made a barrel for a tank gun. Various figures tried to pierce the barrel and nothing worked. Fucked up three blanks. The head of the shop said it was necessary to ask, I do not remember the name, of the specialist who drilled the trunks during the war. Being retired, he came to the shop. The workshop had a tank school in the sponsored, and they bent the barrel. Here is a real specialist. In literally an hour, they drilled the barrel and processed it further, he also made a thread in the barrel. Everything else was completed in another workshop. We installed, adjusted the aiming and painted. In order to make the trunks, you need to have specialists and special machines. What I wrote in 1963 happened.

                In general, if my memory serves me, the stake was placed on the Omsk T-80U with the Kharkov 6-TD1 diesel engine and the prospect for the 6-TD2, which was called the T-80UD, since even in the USSR they understood that an effective Soviet gas turbine engine, consumption, manufacturability and performance can be compared with the American gas turbine engine AGT1500, will be created no earlier than the end of the 90s.
                Then the period of the collapse of the USSR came and the T-80UD had to be abandoned, since the engines were produced in another republic, and they decided to reorient again to the T-80U.
                Well, only after that did the realization come that one would have to proceed not from what one wanted (T-80U), but from what they could afford (T-72 and after it T-90). And they began to maintain that tank production, which "could" and which had the greatest distribution, and not which "wanted", because it was difficult with finances then and could only support one batch production of tanks.

        we have a lot of things going into the army. 3 boomerangs for the parade, 1 su-57, new long-range missiles that people see only on the shelves of armament salons.
        But so little gets through that most people don't notice.
        And if in the USSR this was often promoted by secrecy, now the scantiness of supplies.
        The sights should not just come in, there should already be several hundred of them on real combat vehicles. Take an example from China, they have a panorama even on infantry fighting vehicles and armored cars.

That is, all of them are on hourly basis and according to the established salary. In 1962, it was a lot of money. Finally, the factories that worked on the blanks did not know what it was and where they put everything that was needed. The shop fulfilled the plan one percent higher and everyone received a bonus, even the pieceworkers. Somewhere they collected what they needed and several of them rolled three pieces at the parade.

They can't build a modern diesel, they can't cast armor steel, they can't make a cannon, after all, they can't even fire shells for tanks! So there is no Ukrainian tank building.

    There is a great SOVIET school of tank building. Still! This is not sad for us! It is in Kharkov, Cherkasy and many other Malyshevsky subcontractors in Ukraine. Shapkozakidatelstvo is our everything! Tank repair plants are also operating, all this is coordinated by the Morozov Design Bureau. And with the involvement of the Paton Institute. for welding. By the way, the welded jambs of the BTR-4 have long been eliminated, overcooked and the equipment is already here, beyond the Donets. This is by the way! The availability of bourgeois electronics allowed the same Bulat (judging by the trophy) to bring it to a decent level. The disadvantage of THEIR tanks is two-stroke motors, lousy in cold weather, capricious and low-tech, with low torque and a disgusting sound that can be heard from 5 km away - what do you want from aviation YuMO!) The chassis is 64-noisy and weak, often blown off at sharp turns. But even the LMS 64b is much more convenient and pleasant to work with than on the same 72 of all stripes! By the way, they have an Old Testament engine with inadequate oil consumption. Albeit less noisy and with more flexible external characteristics. Yes, and running 72 is not the ultimate dream either! Well, she's not eighty! So, the article is written so-so, in the style of ANITAMNICHEGON-SKILLS! Before the war, I had to intersect with Morozovites, excellent engineers, and if the Kharkov spring took place, now the plant and the design bureau would work hard for the good of Russia and would be in good standing!

But that's all. And "Bulat" is a vivid example of this. A more successful modernization than the T-72B3, even in the M. version. And they shoot with "Combats" in real life.

    There Malyshev's plant is already in large substandard conditions. Ukraine was unlucky, in 00x the production continuity cycle was interrupted. Then they made engine kits for a Pakistani-Chinese tank, but this was not enough for such a plant. When the contract for the BTR-2009 began in 4, it turned out that the plant could no longer master a number of new units. Orders were sent all over Ukraine - "by workshops". You can talk about a lot of wunderwaves, but if they already have nothing to do. The plant is still pulling a small batch. That is what they live on. This problem also exists in Russia.

                        Flags do not appear out of the blue, the concept of a flag, especially a state one - it does not come from prehistoric times. The colors yellow and blue have historically been used on banners and khorgugvi. Yes, it's not a flag yet. And yes, these are not the only colors that were used there, although they prevailed. In 1848, it was the flag that was first hoisted, and it was hoisted precisely during the uprising, which demanded national and cultural autonomy for the Ukrainians (or is this fact in your doubt?). Those. from that moment on, it was this flag that began (gradually) to be perceived by them (the Ukrainians) as one of the symbols of national identity. Well, it was approved as a state flag, after Ukraine gained independence (after the collapse of the Russian Empire).

    Probably not only pictures, although I agree that Ukraine cannot currently produce tanks on its own.

        Is it because the author is misleading readers about the potential enemy's combat potential? Have mercy! Probably more jellied sturgeon!

    then the tricolor "collaborationist" flag.

    what do you think is real?
    it seems to me that any flag other than the Soviet one from the USSR is inappropriate.

      With all due respect to the Soviet flag, was there no state before the USSR?

        was of course. But it was a state with an estate society, which was archaic already in the 19th century. And now it is the 22nd century and the return to what “was” is tantamount to the destruction of the country.
        And the USSR and the experience of the Russian Federation have proved that the USSR is the best alternative from what has already been tested.
        Just do not confuse the USSR, which was built by Stalin and other revolutionaries and this state could develop very far into the future and gnawed by mice like Khrushchev and Gorbachev with the nomenclature, privileges and a fiery career Komsomol, which was essentially doomed.

    From 57 there is a delivery schedule.

    Well, yes, in my memory, the schedule has been deferred 8 times and already 3 times cut. Further, if you cut, you get just zero.

    There is no such power "Ukraine". There is a concentration camp "Ukraine" that does not possess any signs of independence and independence.

    Has she ever existed? Soviet Union, yes, Ukrainian SSR, yes. And Bandera-Selyukovka Ukraine is not even able to grow potatoes for food. And here is the tank.

    Soviet Russia, in the Russian city of Kharkov, now occupied by Bendera, built T34 and T64 tanks, when we liberate we will build tanks again.

    headline loud .... clickbait straight ....... why do you ask such questions like eeeeeeeeee? everything is simpler ... when they characterize a country like "the land of the rising sun" - it is clear why ...... or "the country of tulips" is also clear ..... when they write "tank-building country" it would be logical to see even statistical data with the eyes on the MANUFACTURING of tanks ...... open statistics for 10 years and stop asking "chewed chewed" questions

    The author's eyes were so filled with hatred with blood that he forgot to mention BM "Bulat" and T-64BV arr. 2017, which is rather strange if you undertake to review Ukrainian tank building. The result was not an educational encyclopedic article, but a propaganda campaign, unfortunately.

    slyuyuyushai .... daragoy .... author of "stupid man and propogandist" we understand .... please to you - do you review specifically the tanks "Bulat" and t-64BV mod. 2017 ... and most importantly, indicate the number of tanks produced, for example, from 2017 ..... an article about a "tank-building power" .... not a country where engineers can draw .... but also about promku, what can start the state itself, which purchases
