Designed, produced in Ukraine.
Maybe using Russian Federation parts.
Prototypes distributed to both Ukraine and Russian Federation.
Has merit to come to the Ukrainian tree, but it doesn’t matter, but of a silly vehicle anyway and I think it should not be included if we want this tree to be taken seriously.
We are not at “T-14 fighting Abrams X, PL-01, KF51” or whatever stupid ultra modern designs have come. And I hope we never will be!
Would someone be able to share a list of some vehicle creations that are in somewhat production on here? Like how we have:
BMP-1P with a ZSU-23-2 mounted on the rear
MAN 8x8 KS-19
MT-LB with the MT-12 100mm gun
Not necessarily one off vehicles, but small production ideas. Like do they have a chassis that utilizes the 57mm S-60 for AA purposes or something? Trying to get ideas.
PRP-3 Val with 2С17-2 Nona-SV combat part. At least 4 were made by one of the repair plants in 2021.
Also article about serie with BMP-1 base
Spoiler
BMPV - T-62 base with reinforced BMP-2 turret (that can withstand ERA)
One was made, tested and delivered to 128 brigade this summer and at “least few more were in the making” according to this article.
More Ukrainian Challenger 2s are getting armor upgrades.
Lets wait few more weeks and I guess we will see even more upgrades (ERA and all) added to the NATO equipment, like they’ve done to the Polish donated T-72M1s and captured Russian T-72B3s and T-80BVs etc …
A new news report has come up that the Ukrainian govt has upgraded Shturm-S to Shturm-SM and has successfully tested it. Now in the process of induction.
I think modified Shturm-S, which was previously called Barrier-S is now’ll be formally called Shturm-S, coz the upgrades seems similar.
well, those already chonky NATO MBTs will look even chonkier with Nizh …
but … if applied to a Leopard 2A4’s turret front, it might look similar to an Arjun Mk.II?
T-64 with nizh ERA blocks:
Arjun with chonky ERA blocks:
but as far as Abrams and Challenger 2 goes … it totally depends on how they decide to mount those nizh blocks on those sloped turret front(s)
I would prefer if the tree focused on eastern/indigenous designs since a lot of western equipment would be copy-paste, but if it’s needed to fill gaps I’ll take it over nothing
Also, we’ve seen action of Ukrainian-produced MT-LBMSh Infantry Fighting Vehicles on both sides in Myanmar. There isn’t much information on the MT-LBMSh in military service, but Myanmar had purchased 26 vehicles in the mid-2000’s. The vehicle features a Shkval combat module that houses a 30mm ZTM-1, PKT-7.62 coaxial, an KBA-117 30mm grenade launcher, and utilizes 2x Konkurs/Konkurs-M ATGM’s mounted on a modified MT-LB chassis. LRF and IR Searchlight/IR included (no thermals on standard Shkval modules, only the Shkval-A has it). This vehicle has been added to the tree to highlight Ukraine’s export capabilities.
