Kharkiv showed a "deeply modernized" command tank T-64BVK for the Armed Forces of Ukraine

The Armed Forces of Ukraine may be armed with a "deeply modernized" command tank T-64BVK. Work on a tank held at the Kharkov Armored Plant.

According to the press service of "Ukroboronprom", KHBTZ specialists carried out a deep modernization of the T-64BVK command tank, during which they significantly improved its characteristics. It is emphasized that the updated machine has already passed successful tests. Currently, the plant is working on the modernization of a whole batch of T-64 tanks, but with one caveat - they carry out "similar work", but not a similar modernization.

As follows from the message, as part of the work carried out on the T-64BVK tank, modern observation devices, including thermal imaging devices, a rear hemisphere observation system and a satellite navigation complex were installed. The tank commander received a commander's cupola with enhanced protection for the NSVT machine gun and a surveillance camera. Protected rear-view mirrors were installed on the tank, the protection of the fuel tanks was strengthened, the front of the turret was covered with rubber-metal shields. Lighting devices and communication equipment were also replaced.

KhBTZ said that the T-64BVK, which had undergone a deep modernization, has become "much more effective" in the conditions of modern combat. It is emphasized that the Ukrainian Armed Forces requires a large number of modernized tanks against the backdrop of "Russian aggression".

Our main task is to provide the Ukrainian army with reliable and updated military equipment.

- said the director of the plant German Smetanin.

Corrupt vile traitors to the Russians.

"Rear-view mirrors are installed on the tank", - I hope HI-FI audio-video system DID NOT FORGOT TO INSTALL !!

And what specific commander is this single tank?

How is it? Neizhpapa, Alexei Leonidovich ...

[uav80]

rear-view mirrors in order to tick backwards from the battlefield, it was possible without wasting time turning, and not substitute the "stern" like Field Marshal Semenchenko ...))))

[NAIL77DM]

now, in my time this mirror was carried in my pocket and put when necessary

[wow]

By the way, where did Semenchenko's "dick" go? Something has not been heard about him for a couple of years! Probably in Canada, he "reads" lectures.

"Rear-view mirrors are installed on the tank",

The installation of rear-view cameras, as it is now done on the Russian T-72B3M, didn’t take a penny anymore ... Listen, but you did a CAPITAL overhaul of the tank, that means with the obligatory replacement of the engine, why did you have it right away? eating? And then there weren't enough pennies to buy a new one or a normal overhaul of the engine?

[Geofiz]

First of all, this "sensor" is broken))))

[Thrifty]

Why is he without dynamic protection, and all rusty? Or they have rust that has no analogue in the world ???

This is a patina ... with it it will go more expensive

.vintage tank

[Vladimir 290]

In 90-91, I don’t remember exactly, my boss in Germany was in the Bundeswehr unit on a friendly visit and said the following: after the official program, the technicians asked the Germans why they weren’t shown the equipment. - probably secret? To this, the receiving side said, but what to watch there, well, if you really want to, then please. Some sergeant took the keys to the park and led our officers, opened the box and showed the Leopards. Ours were amazed that the enemy tank was all rusty (who served in the Armed Forces knows the reverent attitude towards painting equipment) and naturally asked the sergeant why? To which he was extremely surprised and said in turn, and what will happen to him, he has such an armor, while spreading his arms to the side showing its thickness

[Li17]

In the army of the GDR, the same way, no one really bothered ...

[Ilya Nikitich]

This camouflage is so ...

[Maz]

The biggest entertainment for a sniper is to shoot off tank antennas, a very simple target, and here there are already three, and thick, figs you miss. So glory to Ukraine! In the video, dynamic protection on the frontal projection of the tank - no! A gift for the grenade launcher and ATGM! On the side projection between the rollers and the tower, it is also not visible! Cho did they modernize? a coffin for tankers?

You are wrong and probably did not try to cut these antennas. For tanks, they are made of armor steel, are highly flexible and can easily withstand bullets and shrapnel.

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

If you shoot, then the commander, who sticks out for firing a machine gun with an unclear new protection.

Oh, how worthless that the famous 115th tank repair plant of the USSR Ministry of Defense is still working for the Bandera government!

The tank is not to blame! He didn't choose. Although he is probably ashamed of himself))

Just do not be ashamed of the hard workers who equipped him for the war with the LPR!

[Mountain shooter]

Sticking antennas - like a black mark ... "Shoot here"! IMHO, it is very wrong to single out command vehicles ...

[Jacket in stock]

We are waiting, waiting for them to fall apart, and we will not wait for something.
On the contrary, they were constantly in the news, either a new tank, or an anti-ship missile system, or an MLRS, or a RVV to India, or an ATGM to the Arabs, or finally the plane was completed on Antonov, or rockets, even American ones, flew into space, but on their engines they flew again ...

So it's all in single copies. We are not talking about any sane series, because there is always a "lack of funding".
What's the point of these things, if they are only taken to exhibitions?

[Alexandr bogun]

Sex hundreds of comments and only one adequate ... I can not understand for us that it is easier to perceive reality by pouring mud on those who are armed against us? Adequate people would try to overestimate and prepare better, but ours all laugh. Now we will take London, then before Berlin in two days, then Kiev with one airborne regiment in two hours. And when I hear something like that, I remember the 131st motorized rifle brigade and the 81st motorized rifle regiment, then the same people were in the command as well as most of the commentators here. As a result, there were more than 2000 killed and missing in a day, and there was no aviation, no such amount of equipment, no 200 army, no allies close by in the form of the United States and NATO ... but we are all laughing, we are winning everything for 000 years 're coming out to the fascists and Kiev, but those only rub their hands and against this background for free amerikosov and Europeans milked in terms of weapons and sanctions against us.

[taiga2018]

You say Kharkov is a Russian city. Well, well, these Russian tanks are riveted against Russia ...

[TermNachTer]

Can get))) but most likely will not. Will remain in a single copy for parades in Cueva. But the parades are already unlikely - they will probably be long. A suitcase without a handle ends its existence.

Another piece of handicraft made from Soviet scrap metal.

Armored, or what?
How about putting a video camera (at least, a cheap Chinese one) with a small screen at the driver's side, in which you will see much more than in mirrors, through a triplex? the camcorder is more difficult to damage due to its small size, and it is much easier to protect it from dirt.

[rusich]

A penny is dumb even on a bullshit Chinese camera

[Pavel episkop]

The problem with the undercarriage would be better solved, and not another wunderwaflu to do with bells and whistles that fly off during the ride)) where is their imba platform "Azovets" and under-armored "Tirex"?)

[Old tanker]

To solve the problem with the T-64 undercarriage, it was necessary to switch to the production of the T-80UD. And very few of them were riveted and almost all after the collapse of the Union remained in the Taman division.
By the way, it was these tanks of Ukrainian production that were shot by the Russian parliament in 93. Very symbolic ...

[Pavel episkop]

https://lenta.ru/news/2021/09/16/t80ud/. Танки т80уд расстреляли на учениях в этом году, не учитывая тех которые распилили до 2014...жаль, ибо был вариант модернизации т80бв с заменой башни от т80уд! Прирост бронестойкости от КС и КУ был существенный.. Жаль однако

Why don't you put it inside, in the space under the armor? And look it through the hole. Through the glass?

Through this hole, a bullet, even from a machine gun, can pierce the oil line in the engine compartment under pressure, etc. and after a while will immobilize the tank. And damage to the camera will not lead to fatal consequences, and changing a damaged camera is not a problem.

[Alsur]

So it begs, a deep modernization of the tonsils. Lieutenant Rzhevsky, I would say so exactly.

That's for sure. Get into the heat and chaos of the battle in a triplex with a diameter of 3 mm (and for which one is more needed?), Or jump out onto the armor, change the camera. Will you try?

I drove a tank for two years without mirrors and rear-view cameras. There is no need for them. The tank does not participate in heavy traffic, no one overtakes it in the butt. The tank is almost always with a crew and it is the duty of the commander to look around. He also corrects the work of the driver. And drilling the main armor under the camera is stupidity: the camera should cover wide (this is not a sight), therefore, if you drill it into the main armor, it should have a funnel shape. That is, in addition, albeit a small, but weakened zone for tasks that are not necessary.
Of course, if there is a rear-view camera, then this is +, but there is no need for it.

Well, that's not necessary at all. There are lenses, they are called "fisheye" among the common people. Their front lens is very convex, and the angle of view of such lenses reaches 190 - 210 degrees. That is, he sees not only the entire rear plane, but with forward turns. It is possible, in the end, in order not to get involved with strong distortions of perspective (these things sin with such a property), you can make periscopes. Believe me, this is better than ordering a crew member to climb to correct it. IN BATTLE, the Column walks calmly, the vehicle commanders around in the hatches, of course, the driver does not think about anything like that. But ..... I would do just that, if I were a tank designer. My profession (I am just such a designer, but of devices and automation), taught me to go from person to person. From his needs to his convenience. Fisheye captures a lot not only horizontally, but also vertically. The rear hemisphere would be fully visible. Incl. and the sky.

You probably don't read my answers at all. I repeat: there is no need to change the rear view camera during the battle. And even more, there is no need for mirrors and rear-view cameras at all. If she is present - good, and if she is not - then there is nothing to grieve about.

Quote: dub0vitsky

Where would you place a rear view camera behind the main armor?

[Nikolay Sayenko]

[Borisych]

Below and below the plinth. The school of designers was lost, the workers in Poland. We must somehow justify the salaries of directors and their relatives. They are sculpted from what Ze sent. If Tagil's modernization has a purpose and meaning, then these imperfections - if only there was. Wash the grandmother, gentlemen with heads from pots.
