In Ukraine, called the timing of the creation of the modernized tank T-64 "Crab"

Kharkiv Design Bureau of Mechanical Engineering. Morozova confirmed plans to create a modernized version tank T-64 within the framework of the Crab program. According to the channel "Ukraine 24", the work is planned to be completed by the end of 2021.

The essence of the "Crab" program is to replace old Russian components with new Ukrainian ones, so that the modernized tank becomes 100% Ukrainian base tank of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The T-64 tank is undergoing deep modernization. The main two directions are to increase the mobility of the tank by installing a power plant with a thousand horsepower engine, as well as the installation and use of more advanced aiming means and fire control systems

- said the KMDB.

It is emphasized that at the same time, Ukrainian engineers will take into account the experience of the combat use of tanks in the Donbas and "will be able to avoid the mistakes of the Russians, which they made with the T-72 and T-90 during the modernization."

The modernized T-64 will remain the main tank of the Ukrainian Armed Forces for the next 25 years. This was announced earlier by the country's Deputy Defense Minister Alexander Mironyuk, who is in charge of weapons issues. The first prototype of the improved T-64 of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine expects to receive at the end of 2021 or early 2022.

Also, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine plans to receive Oplot tanks, but not earlier than 2023. In relation to this tank, an R&D project is also underway under the code "Bastion", which provides for the complete replacement of Russian parts by domestic or foreign ones.

Maybe the old Soviet ones?

Well ... "On the way, on the road, with a tailwind in the humpbacked back" ... The next modification - "Cuttlefish"

In Soviet times, such animals were called crabs:

So I do not expect anything outstanding from Ukro "Crab".

[Insurgent]

By the way ... Somehow, there is no noticeable festive mood in the Outskirts and Poland ...

These "allies" have something to celebrate together on February 9, when in 1943, 78 years ago, a hundred Bandera men under the command of Grigory Perigiynyak attacked the Polish village of Paroslya in Volyn, killing more than 150 civilians. This attack was the first massacre of Poles by Ukrainians, and from this event the so-called "Volyn massacre" began ...

[Constanty]

Believe me, in Poland they remember - maybe not the authorities, but people in western Poland - repatriates from the territories of today's Ukraine, and it is a scandal that the Polish Foreign Ministry does not react harshly to attempts to glorify Bandera, Melnik, Bulba or another Taras Chuprynka in Ukraine. The UPA was not even an enemy - it was a neighbor who turned out to be not a man. I have no words to describe the UPA - rezun and the murderer of children and women :-(

Well, let's just say, released in Russia. And here many questions immediately arise, there is something that in Ukraine they could not arrange for release, in the required quantity and quality. For example, the barrels and the tank guns themselves, will they have time to solve this problem by the end of 2021? I doubt

For 30 years they have not solved more than one problem.
But they can only break and destroy

The T-64 was assembled exclusively in Kharkov!

The T-64 was assembled exclusively in Kharkov!

And from what? Where did the components come from? Armored parts, sighting systems, stabilizers of tank armament, tank armament, etc., etc.

[Old tanker]

Armor from the Mariupol Metallurgical. So Ukrainian.
Then tanks were built by the whole country at all four factories. Only the manufacturer was responsible for the final product.
And so the current modernization of the T-72 can be called Franco-Belarusian. The "Sosna-U" complex comes from there. Moreover, evil tongues say that in the "Aqueducts" T-72B3 part of the element base is from China. But for some reason no one calls the R-168 Chinese.

Yes, at least what you call it, but we do not refuse this, but they decided to completely change the suppliers. The same STVs were sent to their tanks from Russia. Previously, the MSA were from the RSFSR, but for the fastest deployment of production in Kharkov of the T-80UD tank, production was deployed in Cherkassy

[Old tanker]

What's the difference from what now the Ukrainians will sculpt their tanks? They refused from Russian components and a flag in their hands, a drum around their neck.

Hello Sergey.

Nah. They now have everything against Russia.

From the category "I will frostbite the ears of my grandmother" In general, an interesting fact - the development of the T-64 under the index object 432 began in the mid 50s, in 64g. started the release. It is now 2021;

The modernized T-64 will remain the main tank of the Ukrainian Armed Forces for the next 25 years.

it is only planned to be replaced by 2046. It turns out that the dill T-64 will be in service for almost 100 years.

Where is the "peacemaker" looking with his decommunization? How long will the plant bear the name of the GREAT DESIGNER MOROZOV? Do not hide behind his name - you are not capable of anything except a bulkhead of rusty iron ... (this is a complaint against the plant). Take an example from a 14-year-old kid who teaches "venerable leading designers" how to create TANKS and ... go ahead for cash injections - maybe there will be enough for the Maldives? To buy matches? .. or you yourself will get the gentlemen!

About a rostka and a tank made of cardboard, there was an epoch-making zashkvar. When I watched this video, I whinnied with laughter, but when they showed the venerable, gray-haired engineers of the Soviet school, forced to listen to the ravings of a gray mare from a pimply schoolboy, I became ashamed, ashamed and bitter ...

I agree 100%! Here, not only weep, we want to burn with a bright flame! It's good that there is no Russian gas - but out of shame for these "wise men" there is something on the TV screen in the language ... the editorial office does not let it go ...

The statement contains no information at all. However, they did not forget to mention some mythical mistakes in the Russian Federation ... Well, by the way, it has long been clear that there is no longer any treatment there

Duc, the fact is that they shopped the name of this "promising" device from the "neighbors on the left". This is the kind of hat the Poles brought to Donbass in 2015, as if for testing:

This ACS "Krab", 155 mm, a kind of Polish "Frankenstein" with a turret from the AS-90 (license) and a suspension from the T-72. Then, five years ago, at first the mention of arrivals of 155 mm was surprised in Basurin's reports, but later Sergey (Lord of Sith) explained, and everything fell into place. She did not ride there for very long, after which she safely went home, out of harm's way. However, I am sure that you are aware of this topic.

So what's this? "T-72, which is back-to-front", "to the inversion" (leading "star" in front)?

Then it's some kind of amphipod crayfish ...

Quote: Paranoid50

There are many surprising things in Basurin's reports , therefore, based on a comparison of what he claims, and comparison with real data from my observations and experience, his data is needed sometimes recheck ...

Quote: Paranoid50

However, I am sure that you are aware of this topic.

Naturally, I heard about the use of 155mm ammunition during the battles for Debaltseve. But I emphasize - just heard... I have no exhaustive evidence or signs of the use of such a caliber, as well as no arguments to assert that this was not, or could not be.

Actually, like the appearance of the German "Leo" in the "south" ...

Quote: Insurgent

So what's this? "T-72, which is back-to-front", "to the inversion" (leading "star" in front)?

More precisely, the T-72 is there in the role of "stepfather", and the final base is from the "RT-91 Twardy", a bastard of "seventy-two".

Basurin's reports contain a lot of surprising things, his data sometimes needs to be rechecked ...

So I made inquiries. There was still no reason not to trust the Sith.

Even joking on this topic is somehow not a hunt. Already tired, and so everyone understands everything.

Brains better let themselves modernize. Better to replace.
Looks like the herds of tanks in storage, which remained from the Union, are running out, and out of 4 it is no longer possible to collect one.

[orionvitt]

Quote: Fidel

out of 4, one can no longer be collected.

To begin with, let them assemble the only remaining "Stronghold" to which they cannot give the mind. And then they swung at the "new" tank to equip the entire army. In addition, the phrases about 25 years of rearmament make you smile. They can see themselves a thousand years of life painted, for ukroreiha.

[Magic archer]

All the same old T-64, nothing more. Cannibalism has already nullified everything there was. Apparently these are the remnants being finished. Then they just cut it for scrap and they will beg all over the world, give them tanks! The already killed Leo-2 of old modifications will receive from the conditional Germany and will be satisfied. In this case, the Kharkov plant will die. That's the whole story

[Doccor18]

Very doubtful.
The barrels of guns are still being installed ...

[donavi49]

Well, here they want to put a serial engine, as they send to all sorts of Pakistan (6TD) + a normal MSA with a teplak, maybe even a panorama will be screwed.

[Constanty]

I would rather bet that they plan to assemble 5TDFMA with a capacity of 1050 hp. as on the T-72UA1 for Ethiopia. 6TD is much more expensive.

The modernized T-64 will remain the main tank of the Ukrainian Armed Forces for the next 25 years.

This is news, they admitted their helplessness at the official level, but at least honestly.

[mojohed2012]

It will be like with the Bulwark for the parade - 1 will be done, okay.
Or they will paint old T-64s with active defense squares without explosives and let them go to the parade as "modernization".

[Sidor Amenpodestovich]

Ukrainian engineers will take into account the experience of the combat use of tanks in the Donbass

Will shoot the barrel and retractable white flag. Backlit to be visible at any time of the day and in all weather conditions.

So there and a little IMPORT SUBSTITUTE then! The cannon, it will last for a long time, if the BP is not fired, the armored hull will not be demolished, the Engine, and so, according to the electrics, yes, Leningrad made the VKU. The radio stations will be replaced with bourgeois ones, they have their own sights, with a French night channel. So they may well! This is if the chassis is not changed to an eighty one to the level of Birch.

And how much is needed for the "retiring", taking into account the replacement of the "retired"? How many of its "panzers" Outskirts lost in summer-autumn 2014, and winter 15?
And those losses that they still will have, when trying to "reintegrate" us, they will not seem like slaps on the buttocks ...

[113262a]

Silently modernizing. Methodically and diligently. Since 14, I think, maybe the regiment (100 units) was shoveled. The most time-consuming thing is to stretch the wiring cut in color. ... In 10, I was at their (Malyshev's) site. Where there are hundreds of three cars stacked with bandaging. This is not counting the storage bases (have not seen!) Takvot-electrical wiring and other color has already been cut out.
