I’d be careful with this thinking, just because it looks like a T-series doesn’t mean it’s the same. It would be like comparing the Iranian Zulfiqar-3 to the American Abrams in looks-wise:
For someone with an untrained eye or who has no experience with military vehicles, they could say the vehicles are the same.
Anyways, many Ukrainian tanks and vehicles have drastic changes that distance itself significantly from its Soviet legacy. An example of this would be the 120mm armed T-72-120 or Yatagan Tanks, turret bustle autoloaders, the automatic transmissions that allow high speeds in forward and reverse with high power ratios, indigenous missile systems, Western-style BTR’s (front mounted engines), unmanned turrets with every weapon you can throw on it I.e. grenade launchers, 30mm cannons, ATGM’s and more, custom ERA, even custom hard-kill APS (that’s in wide use in the Turkish Army) and more.
Good point, but tbh I have no clue; y’know how confusing countries can get with their tanks and stuff, so I’ll keep what you’ve said in mind, but for now I guess we just need to wait for Gaijin to think of something i guess
This 2S6M features an updated EO/IR sight with thermal camera and laser rangefinder capabilities for improved tracking of contacts, especially at night. This vehicle is part of the 1020th OZRP.
An interesting modification of the T-64B1VK is the transporter rubber sheets on top of the ERA on the turret to protect against dropped charges and FPV.
Also ERA on the hull and turret seems to be mostly Nizh, judging by the shape of modules.

The PDF file can be found here. Good read, the pre-2022 brief discusses effectiveness of indigenous ERA and more.
Further discussion of the application of Nizh-1M ERA on vehicles such as the T-64BV zr. 2017, T-80BV zr. 2018, T-72AMT, and BMPT Strazh can be found under there respective Suggestions posted below:
Meant to make the Object 477A1 ‘Nota’ BR 12.0, will change it later.
All German/American vehicles are the Ukrainian variants i.e. loaded with Kontact-1 ERA, Nizh-1M ERA or Extra Armor and/or stripped of sensitive technologies from there respective nations.
Tried to keep within the “No more than 3x vehicles per line in each Rank” unofficial rule.
Tried to incorporate more unique Ukrainian variants of vehicles into the main tree.
All vehicles with parenthesis in the title are because of either its operating nation or that it is equipped with a hard-kill APS.
Didn’t include France or UK due to the oversaturation of nations. It’s definitely possible to see them though. May add them soon.
Still a work in progress! I’ll get to it when I have a chance. I also plan on making a Polish Tree w/ Eastern Europe Sub-tree based on this Long-term Leak List (however, I will exclude Yugoslavia because including them is dumb, they have plenty of there own Yugoslavia Tree). If I do it, I’ll call upon The @Merkko for his aid on an Air Tree version (if he’s interested lol).
Lastly, the most important point…KEEP IT PEACEFUL AND RESPECTFUL, if you don’t like the idea maybe because you believe it’s copy and paste or something, no problem. That’s your opinion and that’s perfectly fine, just don’t be an *** about it. Same goes for those who don’t agree with said posts. It’s only about the vehicles, just enjoy it. It’s a lot of work. Thanks for your support!
Yeah I’m glad you did find it, I broke further into the zr. 2017’s and similar vehicles ERA setup off the PPT and went and verified the Nizh-1M ERA usage just for reinforcing the difference with the vehicles. Nizh-1M is no joke.
No way, Ukrainian Ground Forces TT V2 dropped before GTA VI (I thought I would never see it coming)
Still sadge that there is not enough unique Rank V for Ukrainian TT as I can’t imagine grinding/spading vehicles properly w/ Level 0 crew. It doesn’t look too hot given how it starts at Rank VI, making TT look way more original yet lacklusture in flesh when you compare it to other TTs (exept Israel of course).
Still nice to see this concept being updated. I’m all in for addition of TT, let it be independent or sub-tree (in some future Eastern Eurropean one or, if there are literally no options left, in USSR but the one according to the concept suggested on forum already). Would be a shame to see Ukrainian vehicles treated in a same way as Canadian & Australian.
I could start sooner at Rank IV or V but since the aircraft tree starts at Rank VI it doesn’t make sense for me to sadly start it before any viable aircraft would be added.
I’ve got a lot more work to do with it, there’s a lot more indigenous stuff to add but I put a focus on production vehicles. I mean the theoretically I could slam a ALOT of vehicles in including indigenous, French, British, and Swedish but we’ll see…Stay tuned 🫡
Implementation of Western vehicles still requires more work/streamlining.
Couldn’t remember the name of the BTR-4E with the modified double-barrel BM-7 combat module but added it at 10.7 due to the sheer amount of firepower (even with 3UBR8 APDS) on top of the RK-2S ATGM’s, KT-7.62mm’s, and the 30mm KBA-117 grenade launcher.
Need to better shift more indigenous vehicles from the event/premium section over to the researchable section.
I want to avoid oversaturing the tree with way too many T-72’s, etc. I hope someone can share the different variants of T-84/Oplot/Object 478’s and what the differences are and I’ll incorporate them into the tree to drive strong diversity from legacy T-72/T-64’s.
Also, trying to mitigate the sheer number of IFV’s and streamline it better is quite difficult.
I will keep reiterating: “Lastly, the most important point…KEEP IT PEACEFUL AND RESPECTFUL , if you don’t like the idea maybe because you believe it’s copy and paste or something, no problem. That’s your opinion and that’s perfectly fine, just don’t be an *** about it. It costs you zero energy to not type that extra bs. Same goes for those who don’t agree with said posts. It’s only about the vehicles, just enjoy it. It’s a lot of work. Thanks for your support! ”.
