Photo report from the Kiev Armored Plant

At the Kiev armored plant, preparations are underway for the transfer of the next batch of armored personnel carriers BTR-3Е1 to the customer. Soon these cars will be accepted by the representatives of Thailand.

While the machines did not leave the factory, the management of the enterprise kindly provided the opportunity to hold a small photo session. The frame got BTR-3E at different stages of readiness.

In Soviet times, the main products of the Kiev BTRZ were overhauled Tanks family T-72. Now these machines are not only being repaired, but are undergoing a deep modernization. At the exit from the assembly shop, several modernized T-72Bs were shot with a new dynamic protection of Ukrainian production, as well as a modified MTO - the engine was replaced with 5TDF-M with a fan cooling system, a diesel unit was installed, which allowed powering the electrical components and systems of the machine with the main engine idle .

[Krilion]

according to the pictures, the feeling of some sort of semi-artisan production ....

Dear Krilion, you are wrong, production facilities make a very pleasant impression. Negativity can be expressed by young people who, in principle, have no idea what a PLANT is, associating what they saw with the exhibition povilion, as a maximum with Western lines for assembling "cars". Pay attention to the absence of various items in the corners, there are only assembly units at the posts, the equipment is all painted. All this speaks, on the one hand, of the perfection of technological chains, on the other, of a sufficiently high level of production discipline. In some photos, in my opinion, there is not enough illumination, which is explained by energy savings. In general, the people of Kiev are great.

yes, yes, like "mega-Ferrari" Discovery.
Of course, I would like the factories to look beautiful, that everything would be feng shui, etc., but even so the plant is working normally, workers are doing their job. At least I would wander around such a plant, see what and how))

Exactly!
By the way, when I was looking at a tank repair plant in the United States, I noticed the tool that their workers were using. Nothing special, the same screwdrivers and so on, even open-end wrenches, there are at least no ordinary "rattles" there, but what was the surprise and then burst of laughter when I heard that the body was cleaned there by a super-mega device, some whether not by nano bombardment, but when they did it, it turned out that it was an ordinary sandblasting. Usually they know how to present things as megaprojects, hanging propaganda noodles to uneducated people, ours would like to learn from them in this.
I liked the photo report. Plus from the factory worker, worthy of respect and praise.

It’s just that now individual private workshops look like megastro from discovery. Well, what do you want from a guy? You probably just looked into the industrial area of ​​a car service of some sort of Toyota ... after it, this factory seems like a handicraft. But in principle, an ordinary factory, nothing special.

I once, on a similar "megaSTO", when changing wheels, the discs were tightened with a wrench. And then I decided to drive to Baikal with my family for the weekend, I punctured on the way ... I swore at these trained in foreign car services, the balloon bent, tore off the studs, but I could not break the nuts. I had to call a tow truck and pay a lot of money, after that I ripped off these for their "service".

[firefox090]

Do they arrange excursions there?

you know, I read the title of the article and thought "everything, now will start again". again disputes about whether the Ukrainian military-industrial complex is alive, and what it is capable of, and who is better and more powerful ... but I was pleasantly surprised - somehow it did without" urapatriots ". I always complain about healthy controversy.

[Avenger711]

Compared to Russian factories, everything looks just rattled.

[Syrzhn]

It depends on what to compare, where I have been / worked / worked (in Russia), most of the workshops are even worse, and the workers are either old people or alcoholic youth with small-criminal inclinations.

[Tankomaster]

Dad Avenger711, and everything is the same with us, you better visit the factories.
We are all from the USSR.

[patrianostra]

It is interesting with which? This is with those who are probably from papier-mâché kind in the production associated with metal and fuels and lubricants, something is not very noticeable to people in white coats and such overalls this is slightly not the production of semiconductors and related products .

[Argon]

A good picture is right!

Compared to Russian factories, everything looks just rattled.

As a rule, if all kinds of commissions and other similar delegations come to the factories, and even if they would have an open day, then a major shout is arranged in the workshops, everything is cleaned up, washed and painted.
I remember Medvedev came to our factory, so for a week the production stopped, everyone was re-qualified as cleaners and painters. And if at that moment we would have arranged a photo report, then they would have been quite suitable for showing megasteries in the film.
But in reality, everything looks different. All the same, the repair plant, cars go for overhaul, disassembly of fuel oil is not even visible. The equipment, even after several washes, is still dirty and dusty, so people’s robe is the same. Everything is in the mud. Sometimes it’s funny to listen to amateurs who are trying to compare our repair plants with factories by manufacturers and even funnier if the comparison is made with any Japanese Toyota.

[Dima190579]

I liked the gas water machine. I have not seen this for a long time.

[neri73-r]

In Soviet times, almost every workshop had such, especially where hot production was!

[M. Peter]

We also have such in the steel shop.

well, let's hope that the Ukrainian security forces have found the means to acquire the Dozor. otherwise, they are preparing for the next "show" (I have not seen information about the sale of "Dozorov" outside the cordon) )

"Mess" for "Berkut", there is their chevron on the side. Looks like they drove for repairs.

[svp67]

And the towers, towers, hulls and fully assembled T72 ... are clearly preparing for themselves ...

Not for yourself, but you should already be aware of what is for Ethiopia.

Not really. Back in April it was said that the first batch would be transferred to the Nikolaev paratroopers before the "Slavic Commonwealth". Nothing was passed. In the photo, this armored personnel carrier is one and clearly not in the final process. And the teachings are coming soon. Well, it's as usual.
There will also be no bull-dads who promised in February. Though they will give out a new form.

[Restor]

It seems like the tires are too narrow on the armored personnel carriers

[misham]

For work, a little connected with this plant. They have the equipment and staff are still available. And ordering a rampart, ordering a portfolio is also at the storage bases of tanks is still a dime a dozen.
Only recently can not fulfill the Thai contract. Thai grandmother (prepayment) left PAPE. There is nothing to pay to suppliers and people are being cut. Ruin a good enterprise defense industry by their greed .....

Thai grandmother (prepayment) left PAPE.

This reminds me of the Soviet excuse of the 80s: "The Motherland's Bin". The USSR, unfortunately, has long been gone, but the mentality has remained

[Hug]

And who is "dad"? Certainly not PROHFFFESSOR - is it?

[Dmitry 2246]

People work and this is the main thing. 72 come out "nice". Another would be to write them into the Russian "schedule". Otherwise, our capacities must be prepared for new machines.

[karal]

Great photo story! It is good that Ukraine retained the plant, maybe someday Russian armored vehicles will be repaired there as at home.

[smart ass]

Here you have the Soviet legacy

[Geokingxnumx]

Monument tank is an IS-3 huh?

[Vital 33]

Yes. But in general there are not so many IS-3 tanks, mostly T-34s. Because they didn’t fight?

[Akhtuba73]

Participated in the Allied forces parade in Berlin in September 45th. They made a rustle ... such and such power !!! and stopped a couple of hundred kilometers from the English Channel.

[Argon]

The IS-3M tank is installed as a monument

[nezloy]

Dull G ... For Thailand, these cans are just fine. They have good demographics. Russia needs heavy infantry fighting vehicles with a combat weight of about 40 tons. And for battles in urban conditions, assault guns are needed. With a powerful smoothbore gun caliber 180-280mm. Able to destroy entrenched Wahhabis in the basement with one shot. In this case, a rotating tower is not needed, a long barrel is not needed, the main thing is the protection of the crew.

Well, offer the Thais your personal development. Maybe you can sell them at a reasonable price a hundred, another glued models of tanks and armored personnel carriers.

[Anat1974]

What kind of nonsense? What are the assault guns in the city of 280mm (on which platform) and (how long will they fight in urban combat)? How do they destroy Wahhabis in the basement? Is that so you probably pushed after the tank of world?

drive less expensive in WoT, and service in the sun cleans the brains well.
Riding a real tank kills any crazy ideas.

Well, yes, or the BTR-82 case, the last techno-breakthrough that has no analogues ...
Again, people who saw the equipment only in the picture, give a "professional" conclusion ... And for some reason you will not see amateurs yelling "but there are no factories there anymore !!!" , "these are all Soviet remnants", and "I beg you, how can THEY !!!, do something ....". Probably by the evening they will catch up ... Or there is nothing to say.

The tank on the monument is not an IS-8? But not the T-10 for sure. It seems they did not take part in the war.

The IS-8 and T-10 are one and the same tank. Just after the death of Stalin, the name of the tank changed to T-10, under which it was put into service on December 15, 1953.

On January 31 this year, two Ukrainians were detained in Kazakhstan for giving a bribe in the amount of $ 200 thousand to Kazakh Major General Almaz Asenov. Asenov was responsible for the purchase, modernization and disposal of various weapons. The Ukrainians, I think, gave a bribe to Thai generals to buy their basins.

And what do you think the Thais should buy? Suggest your option.

[crush]

If Ukrainians were doing the normal technique, then they would not have made sense to give bribes

[Evrepid]

In South Ossetia there were tanks of Ukrainian production. Believe me, there were such normal tanks, and the famous T-34 came from a design bureau located on the territory of present-day Ukraine.
Something like this. this then the production moved to the Urals

"Lining" of the hatches of Kevlar armored personnel carriers?

[Tankomaster]

And hatches and sides.
This BTR-3 was created by order of the UAE, and this modification is distinguished by a tower and an engine. But the level of protection was increased due to Kevlar lining.

[yanus]

Not only that, half of the Thai men were "converted" into women (they cut it off, sewn it there). So also their armored personnel carriers will be converted. Now the transvestite show in Pattaya will receive fashionable pativens)))
But seriously, they sold and sold. Good luck in your work!

Thanks to the author for the photo selection, I looked with pleasure, the plant has withstood the development now, I am glad for the neighbors.
