Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine: Half of Ukrainian tanks have been modernized

Half tanks, which are in service with the Armed Forces of Ukraine, has undergone modernization. This was stated by the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Lieutenant General Valery Zaluzhny.

In an interview with Radio Liberty, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, answering a question about plans to modernize Soviet equipment in service with the Ukrainian army, said that such work was being carried out. According to him, today Ukraine does not have all the capabilities to modernize tanks, since not everything necessary is produced at Ukrainian enterprises, but it can carry it out on its own.

Zaluzhny noted that at the moment, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have already modernized 50% of the tanks in service. There are plans to modernize the second half, but this requires the state to allocate money for this.

So, today we cannot 100% ensure the modernization of the same tanks, but today 50% of them are already modernized. Again, only the hull remained from the Soviet tank.

- said the commander in chief.

Currently, two Ukrainian enterprises are engaged in the modernization of tanks - the Kharkov Armored Plant and the Lvov Armored Plant. In Kharkov and Lvov, the T-64 and T-72, left over from the Soviet army and in service with the Armed Forces of Ukraine, are being modernized.

Klitschko is a poet, he sees it that way.

I fully support your statement, since I did not understand this quote from the commander-in-chief. It is easier to formulate your thoughts, Mr. Zaluzhny

Unfortunately, no.
New communication, digital. Donetsk can only dream.
New sight and night vision devices.
Satellite navigation. Not even ours.
New DZ.
So you shouldn't laugh, they are preparing for war seriously.

[Nexcom]

About the "canopy", sights and communication is understandable. But after all, all this should get there on its own - on its own. And if there are no spare parts for the chassis, for the engine and so on - how far will all this go? Will they push? As for the fact that they are seriously preparing to fight - I understood that. Unfortunately, the Donetsk people will have a really hard time if all this gets to them ...

Shl well, what a laugh if they are really engaged in technical cannibalism. This is true. And not only with tanks. But this is for now ....

The question is, how much is half of ukrosvido tanks? Five thousand, one?

The Armed Forces of Ukraine are armed with about 850 tanks. Apart from the SV reserve corps

It sounds impressive (I'm serious), but there is one question - where did they get the money for this upgrade?

[Nexcom]

To actually spit off a bit, they begged for a penny. It sucks that all this is clearly trample on Donetsk.

I mean, is there a gopher? Suppose they have the opportunity to produce all this (which is not a fact), what's next? Did they manage to scrape together the money to upgrade half of their tanks, or is this just talk?

And they have a special tax, and they all pay it.
And even we pay it when we watch our (!!!) TV set.

[Rubi0]

By the way, yes, watching Zelensky's TV shows you finance the APU, and the transit of gas cargo uuu ... It's funny then to read the statement that Ukraine has no money.

[AML]

Watching Zelensky's films you personally finance Zelensky. He, like Poroshenko, is not seen in donations to the army.

Come on .. And who was Glonas built for? Straight high-tech navigator beyond the limit, have you long been in the business suit? Know guns do not clean with bricks !!

[Nexcom]

In general, satellite navigation is, of course, good, but this is by no means +100500 to the protection of the tank, its functionality and other BASIC characteristics.

PS I'm not a tanker, but I think that I'm not so wrong in my IMHO. And yet, I wonder how their Svidomo electronics will now be resistant to electronic warfare ...

[Dimon klewort]

show the report. Lies on your part.

[Cowbra]

Again, only the hull remained from the Soviet tank.

The rest was thawed in recyclable materials. The body would also be rested, but a heavy hefty, infection - oxen cannot drag away

[Old ensign]

I would like, of course, to learn more about modernization, what kind of KAZ? What is the cost of each upgraded tank.

[Rusticolus]

Approximately the price of a roll of masking tape. Now they have half of the tanks, 5th generation stealth. They will find money for another box of scotch tape and modernize all the rest.

[Jacket in stock]

I would like, of course, to learn more about the modernization

The multi-channel gunner's sight of the Ukrainian machine is comparable in its characteristics with the Belarusian "Sosna-U", which is received by the Russian one.
Communication, unlike the long-obsolete R-168, the T-64BV tank is equipped with the Lybid K-2RB, based on a modern American digital radio station from Motorola.



According to the expert, the Ukrainian Knife ERA is better than the Russian Kontakt both in terms of the effectiveness of the elements themselves and in terms of coverage.

The expert notes that the Ukrainian car received satellite navigation, which the Russians do not have in principle.

[Rakovor]

Damn, that's how much when our people show something, they call it "Putin's cartoons", but when they tell (only tell) ukroexperts, all sorts of individuals, like you, take their word for it, like gentlemen.

It wasn't actually Ukrainian armor.
They just violated the welding technology then. Now they have stopped.

In fact, it was not Ukrainian, because they do not produce any in Ukraine, but what they bought is really not armor, there is nothing to blame for welding.

Yes, the commander-in-chief said so, the floor of the tank was modernized.

Well, I understand, to the internal audience ... But the rest will laugh out loud ... Only the Soviet corps ... how about, and the gun, and the MZ, and many systems, and weapons, and day sights .. .?

Eh, help Donetsk and not in words but in deed (spare parts, repair kits, uniforms with individual protection, modern technology, etc.). So that they could fight back so that Svidomo sailors would no longer have the desire to climb to them.

Sooner or later, the Ukrainians will modernize their army with the help of their masters, they will work out the population that they are invincible, confidence will increase and you can be sure that they will move to the Donbass, and maybe the Crimea. I am sure that the Russian leadership has no illusions and is considering all the options for future events.

and maybe the Crimea. I am sure that the Russian leadership has no illusions and is considering all the options for future events.

Not yet noticeable. In Crimea, only one ICBM (as part of the 36th brigade) represents the combined arms units of the RF Armed Forces ... paratroopers and marines will apparently fight with tanks and motorized infantry of the Armed Forces of Ukraine ...
On the good in Crimea (as in KOR), it is necessary to deploy a full-fledged MIA .... and work ... otherwise, along the salt marsh "ancient Sumerians", like the Germans in 41, will quickly reach Sevastopol ...

[Konnick]

paratroopers and marines will probably fight with tanks and motorized infantry of the Armed Forces ...

Perekop covers

126th separate coastal defense brigade. The number of 2 thousand servicemen, according to various sources, from 70 to 90 percent of them are contract soldiers. The fleet of military equipment - updated T-72B3 tanks. Dislocation - Perevalnoe near Simferopol.

And so why should our infantry fight against the infantry and equipment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The area is open, and the helicopter regiment from Dzhankoy is enough.

126th separate coastal defense brigade.

I am to blame (partly), and I meant it.

126th Black Sea Fleet Coastal Defense Brigade created on the basis of the 36th brigade coastal troops of the Ukrainian Navy

https://mptaifun.ru/blog/126_ja_brigada_beregovoj_oborony_chf_perevalnoe_krym/2015-08-17-244

The number of 2 thousand servicemen, according to various sources, from 70 to 90 percent of them are contract soldiers. The fleet of military equipment - updated T-72B3 tanks.

Have you seen the combat strength of this brigade?

The main force of the corps is the 126th separate coastal defense brigade, which is based in the village of Perevalnoye in the Simferopol region of Crimea. This unit is two-thirds staffed by contract soldiers and equipped with modern military equipment. The brigade includes two motorized rifle battalions (one mountain), Marine Corps Battalion (Feodosia), tank battalion, rocket artillery battalion, howitzer artillery battalion, anti-aircraft missile battalion and other units. The brigade received new equipment, in particular, its tank battalion was re-equipped with modernized T-72B3 tanks.

https://topwar.ru/143550-oborona-kryma-rossiyskie-voyska-na-poluostrove.html
So I was right about one MSB (hopefully re-armed from the BTR-80 to the BTR-82A) ...
The battalion of the MP in the brigade is out of place, it needs to be converted into a regular MSB ...
I think that the 126th brbo will nevertheless be converted into an ordinary MSBR, and later, with the 8th upbo, it will be converted into an MSD ...
Under the Union in the Crimea (Odessa Military District of the USSR Armed Forces), the 126th Mechanized Infantry Division was stationed ...

And so why should our infantry fight against the infantry and equipment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

At the entrance to the Crimea, the Armed Forces of Ukraine created an impressive self-sufficient group ... and there is not only infantry ...

The area is open, and the helicopter regiment from Dzhankoy is enough.

In that regiment, there are only two military units on attack helicopters, and the Armed Forces of Ukraine have military air defense and Turkish attack UAVs ...

[tank64rus]

If this is so, then why can't we help Donetsk, that we do not have UVZ with its specialists. They will find money if they want to. After all, they find it on show holidays.

[Authority]

Tanks are weapons from the middle of the last century.
1 remote-controlled unmanned module with anti-tank missiles and there are no 8 such tanks.
And this module will be lifted, no losses (and it costs 10 times cheaper than any tank).

[CommanderDIVA]

It is unlikely that the Ukrainians had enough funds to more than modernize 300 armored vehicles, there will be about a dozen tank and mechanized brigades, but according to the data from Viki there are about 700 tanks in the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the threat is certainly serious for the LPNR, but if only this armored fist is used massively, for which good air support is needed, but the Ukrainian Armed Forces just does not have it, Turkish UAVs are not counted because of their number, the capabilities of ukrobronethniki will be leveled by anti-tank defense forces of the people's militia of the LPR and by helicopters of fire support of the "northern wind"

[Equalized]

2 tank brigades as part of the ground forces. There are also tank brigades in the AFU reserve corps, but it is not clear how many of them are still on paper and how many are real. At least one cropped TB was lit with T-72 tanks. We take at least 3 TBR.

Mechanized brigades: 93, 92, 72, 30, 24, 14, 28, 53, 54 omechbr. + 9 GPR + 128 GPR. In terms of composition, the mountain assault teams are equipped with OShS mechanized brigades. Plus motorized infantry brigades that also have tanks: 10, 56, 57, 58 MBR.

Tanks are also available in DShV and Airborne Forces. (79, 25, 80, 81, 95 brigades at least.) And in the Marine Corps - 36 Marine Brigade and 35 Marine Brigade.

[CommanderDIVA]

It's not about the number of tanks in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, but in their real capabilities on the modern battlefield, what is the use of navigation and communication systems if the Armed Forces of Ukraine do not have air support, in a modern combined arms battle, all the tank power of Ukrovoisk will not be decisive, better these finances would be sent to the modernization and purchase of air defense systems

Here they have nothing else to do, how to modernize tanks, it would be better if they helped the population of Ukraine!
Why does the country need tanks, or weapons in general ?!

[agoran]

Reading news from 404, spanish shame.
The whole "Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Lieutenant-General Valery Zaluzhny" is talking real nonsense.
Okay, if for local hamsters, well, there is a press office for that.
I looked at WIKI (In 2007, he graduated from the National Defense Academy of Ukraine and was appointed chief of staff - first deputy commander of the 24th separate mechanized brigade.).
Everything is fine, another goof from Novograd-Volynsky, Zhytomyr region.

[Vissarion Golubov]

There is a 30th brigade. 24 in the west.

[agoran]

What reality do you live in?
In 15 minutes nothing will be left of your brigade, together with military towns, DOS and hangars, send families to the village to see grandma.

[Vissarion Golubov]

If the answer is to me, then I do not understand. Is the 30th brigade stationed not in Novograd Volynsky? If you write about the places of permanent deployment of enemy units, they must be indicated correctly.

[Codett]

Yeah, just did not specify that the gun, shells, engine, transmission, and chassis are still of the Soviet model, the base model

During the Prussian operation in the spring of 1945, the Germans damaged the drainage in the fields.
Even for the T-34, it was difficult to pass these fields, and German bunkers with anti-tank guns stood on key road junctions.
The Abrams will not go further than the Olsztyn Voivodeship, or they will drown.

[Incvizitor]

A dozen attack helicopters ...

[Sands Careers General]

Yeah, then they spit from these "upgrades", preferring the usual T-64, not spoiled by whistles and fakes.
How many scandals they have had about this.
And there, for one "modification" from three to five stolen accounts.
All one thing - give pennies, bo nema

These are the tanks that took part in the parade in Kiev? If this is 50% of the modernized tanks, then ... you can sleep peacefully.

[AC130 Gunship]

I'm not a tanker. But it seems to me that changing the electronics is not that expensive. The question is in the condition of the engines and transmissions of these tanks. As for spare parts, you can buy used earpieces all over the world for a penny. Russia bought a piece a few years ago. 20 driving T34 tanks for parades somewhere in Southeast Asia
