В частности, была внедрена более совершенная тепловизионная система, а также спутниковая система навигационного обеспечения, независимый лазерный дальномер для командира танка, современная система учета изгиба канала ствола и др.
I’d imagine this refers to the previous mention of the T-84U, no? It has superior foreign optics, a commander independent optics + LRF, as well as an MRS attachment on the barrel… All of which were mentioned.
And? The first T-84 to be put into service was done so in 2000, though what does that have to do with the prior statement?
No, it’s not like that…The tank was adopted under the name BM Oplot. In 2000, after that, there are no T-84s.
Accordingly, a program is being implemented to improve the BM Oplot tank (Object 478DU9).
If you really want to have a T-84U, you will find it…so the name of the Object is 478DU???(what are the numbers at the end) and his photo…
Weird, my post was deleted. Again, they found the Azovets Armored Fighting Vehicle buried and excavated it. It gives us more images of the limited-information vehicle. Likely around 10.7-11.3 due to being equipped with heavy ERA, several ATGM’s and cannons. I can imagine that we should see some more images of the vehicle including of the interior come out. Links provide more information and a video. No political references intended, post is solely for the vehicle due to its uniqueness.
This is your Personal opinion… - The Operation Manual is not an Official document on the adoption of the tank into service…
For example, here Tarasenko’s personal opinion, he offers three options for the name of the tank…
Here you can also see that the name BM “Oplot” for the tank has been reserved since at least 1998… T-84 «Объект 478ДУ9» (narod.ru)
On your own (if you live in Ukraine) you can try to find… Official Document…
The tank was put into service by Decree of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine No. 237-5 of 08.02.2000…
Accordingly, you need to look in the Official Bulletin of Ukraine or in the newspaper “Урядовий кур’єр” (Government Courier)
If we are talking about the official name under which it was put into service in 2000, then this is T-84.
The name was changed already after its adoption
I don’t understand why you need to look for newspapers if you can personally write a letter to the email of the Cabinet of Ministers Ukraine with a request to show the decree No. 237-5 of 08.02.2000
Does anyone have info on soviet ERA “Gofr”, which was basically the first soviet ERA to use same method Nozh ans Duplet use? (after Gofr Nozh and Duplet were developed based on it, Gofr dates back to 1984, being developed as alternative to K-5)?
