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

February 9 2021

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.

    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 ...

      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

        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

    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.

    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 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!

    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. ...

I remember in Soviet times a 1000 strong 6TD was installed only on the T-80UD with its more reinforced chassis. The native sixty-four could not stand it. I wonder how they have solved this problem now. Or did you not bother about this at all?

Crab, cancer .... "and you friends, no matter how you sit down, you are not suitable for musicians" ... they abandoned their history and got stuck in history. In all spheres of being. There is no desire to even comment. Country 404 and only. And 64 is a "capricious car ..." quote from our deputy. the commander of a tank regiment for armaments - to the factory workers who arrived in the regiment on numerous complaints.

Conclusion, regardless of whether the T-64 is upgraded to the "crab" state or not)))))) - another 25 years in service as MBT ..... basically, that's all you need to know ..... you can wrap anything in a beautiful wrapper of florid explanations, but this will not become a gift of gifts

Maybe the old Soviet ones?

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

What can the descendants of the ancient Sumerians do well?
Lard, gorilka, borscht, Kiev cake-bizet. By the way, in the Borispol restaurant, the Kiev cutlet was still disgusting.
Well, produce what you can do well, but without a leading and guiding Russian you cannot produce anything technologically advanced.
