Ukrainian "Oplot" now has the Thai army

Despite the hype that has not subsided around the supply of BTR-4 to Iraq, Ukrainian tank builders have once again demonstrated their ability to produce new models of heavy military equipment, namely - tanks. The other day, the Malyshev Kharkiv Plant handed over the first production batch of Oplot tanks to the Thai military. At present, 32 Thai servicemen are undergoing training on the maintenance and control of Oplot tanks at the Morozov Design Bureau. It is assumed that combat vehicles will be sent to the customer before the new year.

Recall that in September 1 2011 representatives of the Thai Armed Forces and the management of Ukrspetsexport Group of Companies signed a lucrative contract for Ukrainian gunsmiths to supply 49 units of the newest battle tank Oplot. The contract amount exceeds $ 200 million. The main contractor is the Kharkov plant named after Malyshev, and technical support is provided by enterprises that are part of Ukroboronprom.

Before signing a contract with the Ukrainian side, Thailand considered several options for tanks offered by global manufacturers. Among the options studied were the German tank Leopard 2A4, the South Korean K1, the Russian T-90, and the Ukrainian Oplot. Thai military experts have recognized the cost of the German tank too high. Why exactly the Ukrainian tank was chosen is not exactly known. There is an assumption that the Ukrainian combat vehicle was chosen because earlier 96 Ukrainian BTR-3Е1 had already been supplied to the ground forces of Thailand, and Thailand has the intention to additionally purchase 120 units of the same armored personnel carriers.

In April, 2012, the Kharkov tank builders began to fulfill the order. And 26 June 2013, the factory workers presented the first serial tank "Oplot", designed for the Thai army. The demonstration of the combat vehicle was held in the presence of the commission of the Royal Thai Army, headed by the commander of the armored forces of Thailand B. Sansavat. Representatives of the customer also discussed with the tank manufacturer the course of fulfillment of obligations under the concluded contract. Since the first batch of armored vehicles was prepared for shipment to Thailand with a delay of a month, it can be assumed that the manufacturing company faced significant difficulties. It is possible that the delay is associated with problems in the resumption of tank production after a ten-year break.


In addition, it should be noted that the information that the five first tanks for the Thai army are converted prototypes of the T-1990UD tank modified by Kharkov tank builders in 80 was “walking” in the network. If this information is correct, then the big question is whether the plant is ready for them. Malysheva fulfill the terms of the contract in full and on time.

Tank "Oplot" was designed to meet modern requirements for armored vehicles. A lot of technical innovations have been applied to equip it. For example, to enhance the security of a tank, the latest Dynamic Protection System Knife-2 is installed on it, which is able to withstand armor-piercing and cumulative projectiles. Since the protection architecture "Knife-2" is built on a modular basis, it can be improved almost constantly, with the development of dynamic protection technologies. According to the manufacturer, several technical know-how was applied when creating the Oplot armor protection.

In addition, Oplot has significantly improved its sighting system - a multichannel panoramic-sighting and observation complex PKN-6, equipped with day and thermal imaging channels, as well as a laser range finder, has been installed. The use of these innovations will improve the observation of the terrain - the target can be detected through the visual channel within 5,5 km, and through the thermal imaging channel within 4 km. But expanding the capabilities of the fire control system led to an increase in tank mass by 400 kg.

Tank "Oplot" equipped with the latest development of engine builders - engine 6TD-2E. The control levers are replaced by a steering wheel, which greatly simplifies the driving of a combat vehicle. The tank has a navigation system based on NAVSTAR and GLONASS.

Skoda is a Skoda. Of course, it is better to take it if there is extra money and is ready to pay 18-20% of the loan. But the Chinese are in the same price range as ours (Ukrainian, Russian, Uzbek), and the percentage is not more than 12. My for three years dashed off 25 thousand, patina - for 80 tons. There are no big complaints. Consumables vary by mileage. Moreover, you can put Japanese counterparts. Aveo is not necessary. You can cite Kalina or Chance as an example. There metal is stronger than Vidovsky, but the same as in MK.

And where should the helicopter be located, so that this anti-aircraft machine gun can get it, when the angle of fire from 45 degrees to xs, there’s probably no option to put it under 90 degrees.

Well, perhaps the engineers when designing the tank took into account the fact that threats to the car do not necessarily arise only from the main gun. Here's how it usually looks in reality (if there is no burning desire to get to the most vulnerable area)

Dear, if you only turned on a little brain, you would understand that Iraqi armored personnel carriers are no longer needed. Zataris in full. They need BMPs, of which they have only 434 outdated BMP-1s. That is why they, having included the logic, are negotiating the purchase of 200 modernized Bradleys.

You do not make friends with the campaign at all. In the sump, or rather M113 will go to the storage BASES, and if you do not buy the armored personnel carrier, you will not get any reserves.

Eh ...

In early 2007, Poland began regular deliveries of the BTR-80UP armored personnel carrier with an 8x8 wheel arrangement to Iraq.
In June 2005, the Iraqi Ministry of Defense placed an order for the supply of 115 new and modernized armored personnel carriers. The amount of the contract amounted to 30 million US dollars. However, for procedural reasons not related to Poland, there was a delay in supplies.
Currently, the supply volume is reduced to 98 cars. Instead of the missing machines, it is planned to organize the training process and the delivery of repair kits.
In September 2006, Poland delivered three new BTR-80UP armored personnel carriers to Iraq from an armored personnel carrier maintenance and repair base in Nikolaev (Ukraine). The delivery was carried out in cooperation with the Ukrainian export company Spetstekhnoexport.
The base of technical maintenance and repair in Nikolaev, in cooperation with other Ukrainian partner organizations, is developing the possibility of manufacturing BTR-80 machines for customers of domestic and foreign markets.
In November 2006, 66 BTR-80 vehicles received from warehouses of the Hungarian Ministry of the Interior were delivered to Nikolaev for modernization. These vehicles will be rebuilt and modified for compliance with the standard for the BTR-80UP armored personnel carrier. Then, all these armored personnel carriers, with the exception of 4 products, will be delivered to the Iraqi army in the basic configuration.
In addition, the Iraqi army will receive command and staff vehicles for the battalion commander (BTR-80UP-KB), command and staff vehicles for the company commander (BTR-80UP-KR), staff vehicles (BTR-80UP-S), armored ambulances ( BTR-80UP-A), reconnaissance vehicles (BTR-80UP-R), transport vehicles (BTR-80UP-T) and armored recovery and recovery vehicles (BTR-80UP-BREM).
In addition, additional sets of documentation for training and repair will be delivered.
For all BTR-80UP vehicles, an additional ballistic armor protection is provided, located on the sides and in front of the hull.
The basic armament remains unchanged (standard BPU-1 turret with a 14,5 mm KPTV machine gun, 7,62 mm twin PKT machine gun, six 81 mm smoke grenade launchers) and communication systems, however, at the same time, the vehicles lose their floating properties.
The water jet installation has been removed and the vacant space is used to transport additional batteries and equipment.
In addition, some machines (command and sanitary) are equipped with air conditioners.
Advanced MTO D-80 with an engine power of 300 hp replaced the standard turbo-charged Kamaz V-80 diesel engine used in the BTR-80 armored personnel carrier.
The modernized machines used new tires and new electric and pneumatic systems.

Although, speaking objectively, I have not seen such an attack from foreign sources (different markets with them).

Brotherly people no matter how, sho tell me.

[Avenger711]

Just go nuts as obstructed. To be honest, I don’t even want to comment on the next breakthrough, which ended in an epic fail, of which the assault, the hand of Moscow, is of course to blame, except for the obvious inability of Ukraine to produce armored vehicles. For a win-win position, it is much easier to blame someone for all your troubles than to admit that you yourself are sitting in a deep puddle.

And where is it to be? And the sector that is overlapped is rather minimal, and only for firing at ground targets forward in the direction of the cannon and the coaxial machine gun. So this does not cause any special problems. And how the tower rotates.

Quote: Evgeny_Lev

Hey answer me please

Do you feel better?

[Evgeny_Lev]

One thing, the fact that you called the firing sector "fairly minimal" suggests that you are either not doing well with your eye, or with impartiality.
There you can see that 40 degrees in the front sector is completely absent. Moreover, the height of the panaramnik is such that it is possible to fire not only at "ground" targets, but at helicopters.
Also, the length of the barrel of the machine gun (I just do not know what was installed there) is what? The question is that how close you can bring the barrel to the pan-frame, so that it would not be broken or smoked with flame from the shots.


The rest is fireworks.

You would turn on the eye, and understand that this is not a problem.

[Evgeny_Lev]

I understand that you can’t give a single concrete answer?

Isn’t that a problem? Do you want to say that the trunk is shorter than the distance to the panoramic? Then did the designers provide for blocking the firing, at the moment when there is a panoramic on the trunk line?

It's just that if you want to say that the barrel is longer, then my question is relevant, in view of the fact that 12,7 is not sickly "exhaust", and the soot from it is not weak. Powder stubs from glass, quite problematic to wipe off.

Was Borisyuk cool - I don’t know, but the fact that he pulled the design bureau in the 90s, saved and increased - that’s a fact. And here is his assessment of current comrades and the situation:

- And what can you say about the current head of the design bureau, Alexander Veretennikov?

- Veretennikov, in my opinion, a competent inquisitive engineer. Since 2005, he was included in the reserve for the post of general designer. However, contributing to his promotion as a designer and manager, I, unfortunately, did not notice a negative trait in the character of my follower. It seems to me that he currently takes into account the role of the collective less than it should. There are experts, yet not everyone has fled. But now the outflow of very good personnel has already begun, since there is an order to switch to a two-day work week. Already about 50 of the best KB specialists have found another job.

Politics is so politics. Will Klitschko come and blow his teeth? Or does the Rabbit scare everyone with its cropped carrot? FAC showed him when he was a speaker. These gentlemen came to politics in different ways, but certainly not managers. Yanukovych is bad, but these are even worse. One athlete (Honor and praise be to him, but only in this), another balabol. And so everything is in a row from that camp. And Gritsenko, Minister of Defense, for greater degradation.

[Algor73]

The point is not only in Yanukovych, but also in his entourage. I am not from the factory, but I see what is being done in the country - as soon as something is profitable (from state-owned enterprises), it is necessary to change the leadership, to remove the enterprise from the "reservation" (those that are not subject to privatization), and then ... But enterprises of the military-industrial complex, in order to lay the golden eggs, need at least a little, before getting on their feet, to finance from the budget, to help them. The current government does not want to work for the future - just to make a jerk today, but more, otherwise I won't live to see tomorrow ... I'm not for Klitschko Yatsenyuk, they don't need the defense industry at all, they live in some kind of "pink" country, I am for professionals, who are fewer and fewer.

Don’t you find fault with a person, maybe he doesn’t have enough communication!

[vvkroxa]

The fact that some money for tanks came or will come in Kharkov is certainly good. I had to visit Malyshev. A depressing impression. Everything is ancient, breathable. In the leadership of any, even the lowest level, the scoop rides on the scoop and scoops it up, the plant owes everything to everyone, the salary is a rarity every six months, from the specialists there are only old people who have nowhere to go, young animals have no hoof, and even that nothing at all .. And the new, effective young managers, except for the show-offs, know nothing at all. What can be put together on a knee, what a good tank is a big question. What thread to repaint unless.

“The Malyshev plant is implementing a policy of reducing dependence on external suppliers and creating an independent tank production in Kharkov,” said Vadim Fedosov, general director of the enterprise.

Here is how the brothers Slavs from Russia helped him in the implementation of this plan:

At that time I served in the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. I remember very well how in the corridors of the department they discussed the desire of Ukrainians to get currency in Islamabad. “Nothing at hoh..lov will not work without us. And with our own hands we will not begin to dig our own export grave, ”said the multi-star generals, chuckling. The deal with the Pakistanis will fail, our strategists thought, because there are no tanks without guns. And the guns for the T-80UD were then made only in Perm. Naturally, the offer of Kiev urgently put them guns and thereby earn money on the deal, followed by a refusal.

“Khokh..lam will have to put birch trunks on their tanks,” the Defense Ministry rolled with laughter. As it turned out soon, the forecasters were useless there. No wonder the Kharkov Design Bureau of Mechanical Engineering named after A.A. Morozov was considered the strongest tank-building school in the Soviet Union. They quickly found a way to do without Russia. It turned out that tank guns can be quickly mastered at the Frunze plant in Sumy, which previously produced heavy pipes for oil and gas production.

. Previously, cast towers and some armored hull parts from the Azovmash mariupol were received here, but now their production has been eliminated there. An attempt to purchase cast towers in Russia also failed: the supplier requested such an amount that negotiations were immediately terminated. As a result, it was necessary to establish serial production of welded towers in Kharkov, for which the “tower” workshop was specially reconstructed at the plant.

I watched the video. The engine does not drag at all. Like a moped. Tearing only. Our T-90A from idle would drive onto a conveyor.

Normally, he stopped by and the normal dynamics of the intersection. Another thing that growls. So it's push-pull.

[Vasily Klopkov]

Yes, the news is good. God forbid that now our Kharkov plant them is not covered Malysheva, especially after the signing of this moronic association with the EU. And in Europe they do not like our equipment. Because our tanks entered the European Union for the last time back in the distant 45th and it was the T-34

Our tanks are there now. Another thing is that the trunks of many are already directed in the opposite direction.

Camouflage net Contrast for Stronghold.

Judging by the "pixel" camouflage, the tank is intended for delivery to Thailand.
The multispectral camouflage network has several advantages over complexes such as "Cape". In terms of visual masking, the potential of the network is higher, since it has an uneven surface structure close to the structure of foliage or other background surface, in addition, the properties of the multispectral masking network are preserved even when wet, which is not typical for “Cape”. In terms of masking in the X-ray and IR ranges, the complexes have approximately equal values.
In Russia, a similar set of camouflage nets called “Blackthorn” has also been developed. It seems that the cloak that appeared in the 70s will not gain distribution after losing to cheaper and no less effective camouflage networks.

Well, now, I did not have time to rejoice at the successes of our Kharkov plant, as I learn today from the news that the energy supplying company Kharkivoblenergo partially cut off electricity to the Malyshev plant, which is the largest producer of armored vehicles in the CIS. No, well, it’s as if specially someone is engaged in sabotage with us. Well, how can that be? But what about orders with all of these Thailand and others? Is it really not so interesting to our state that they are ready to destroy their own tank factory?

Do you doubt the "capabilities and abilities" of your power? It’s strange that you have lived, I hope, for a long time in "independent Ukraine", you are still amazed ...
I dare to say SO, because until recently, I was your "compatriot", born in the USSR and tasted ALL the "delights" of independence ...

[Vasily Klopkov]

Yes, I no longer doubt the capabilities of our rulers. The fact is that this profitable and high-tech enterprise does not belong to the oligarchs, so no one is going to support it. By the way, but this "Kharkivoblenergo" belongs to the state. I would understand if it belonged to a private person. And then the state destroys itself. The Germans did even less harm than our government.

You give the information complete, otherwise the Russian respondents are only "happy" for such a success. This happened recently with the tractor, which has already returned to work. And the day before yesterday I was in Odessa with the arrest of Markov, "Vesti" was presented as if he was a champion of freedom in Ukraine. And Markov is a bandyuga (should I not know as a resident of this city). And if he had been imprisoned 5 years earlier, that would have been more correct.

And Markov is a bandit (should I not know as a resident of this city). And if he had been planted years on 5 earlier, that would have been more correct.

That's right! All the bandits had to be jailed (as suggested by Yusch and Yulia on the "Maidan").
Do you remember the slogan of the "Pomeranians": "The bandits go to the prisons"? Julia is already "sitting"
...And who will lead you to Europe?!?

Che Glory then? After all, a tank Thai army. And the Ukrainian army has him no. Gee-gee-gee. The Ukrainian army has a T-34. So shame, not glory.

What minus it? Indeed, the truth in Ukraine itself is only a few pieces of strongholds.

for starters, they would write Ukraine with a capital letter.
secondly, Krengi is a malicious spiteful tank-builder of Ukraine. I would like to look at his face when he read this news.
As for Strongholds for the Ukrainian Armed Forces, they are not needed as such. It is more expedient to modernize the linear T-64. In the best case, the BM Stronghold can be used as a tank commander / platoon tank.

Less by the way for Ukraine with a small letter.

Here I am about it! The country's leadership does not understand that factories are not supermarkets, where you can teach a monkey to sit at the cash register and to distribute goods on shelves. You can’t learn how to make tanks after completing a short preparatory course. Invaluable experience is gained through hard work, and skill is honed over the years! But the authorities do not care much about this.

It’s just that the world is beginning to understand who made the tanks in the USSR and who copied the tanks

Enchanting layout.
The crew commander, observing from a panoramic viewer and noticing the enemy’s manpower on the left heading, must turn the tower up and then, during the turn, adjust the fire blindly. After shooting, go out and wipe the glass with a cloth.

In your opinion, is it better for the tank commander to get out of the tower of the T-72/90 tank, to the figure of a machine gunner, and put it out on the floors from the Cliff? Long enough commander? And keep in mind that in the T-72/90 tank there is no panoramic sight as on the Oplot. This means that either do not use the cliff in battle, especially in the city, or have a stock of tank commanders

[kelevra]

Well done! Ukraine must be a strong country!

[Kars]

The 14 numbers on the chassis can be said to show that there is progress.

super tank, in the event of a military conflict with Russia, 28 tanks Oplot m is enough for the Ukrainian army to stand in Moscow after 20 hours of war, and they cannot stop anything, undoubtedly the best super tank in the world!
