Don’t know if this is recent or not but the Object 478BEM-1 is being transported somewhere in the U.S.

In 2020, to maintain the operability of these T-80UDs, the United States purchased 6TD-2E engines from Ukrspetsexport. Also purchased were 49 Kombat ATGM and GD-1 aerosol grenades.

Looks gorgeous.
I believe I’ve managed to get some more specifics on this abomination/beauty:
Mass: 31 tons
Length: 7.8 m
Width: 3.5 m
Height: 2.4 m
Crew: 3 (driver, gunner, commander)
Armor: same Tariq (Jordanian modified centurion hull armor), same BMP2 turret armor
Main armament: 30 mm KBA-2 autocannon, has the option to use ATGM launcher
Secondary armament: 30 mm AGS-17 automatic grenade launcher, 1 × 7.62 mm coaxial machine gun
Engine: 5TDF two-stroke opposed 5-cylinder diesel engine developing 700 horsepower, 6TD-1 two-stroke flat 6-cylinder diesel engine developing 1,000 horsepower
I’m unable to find the top speed and what atgms in particular it could fire. The only thing about either came from a reddit post with some non functioning links unfortunately.

One of my favorites, BTR-4A with the GROM combat module. The color scheme is is awesome.

I feel a bit crazy seeing all the people seriously discuss the idea of Ukrainian vehicles being added, like really? Gaijin will NEVER do this and we all know why…

What are you talking about, they definitely will be added at some point. It’s just a matter of where. The most realistic options are:
- Part of an Eastern European Nation Tree with Poland as the Main Nation (Leaked in a long-term roadmap as an option. Other possibilities of this leak were: China/DPRK, USA/ROK, Russia/Iran).
- Inputted into the USSR Tree (with the conflict going, probably not happening for a long time if ever).
The tree is just a way to lay it down all the vehicle options available, more informative. It is possible it could come as an independent tree but not likely unfortunately.

Knowing the huge Russian playerbase and origin of this game, the only realistic scenario i can think of if capitulation happens and so the vehicles can be added to the USSR/Russia tech tree, which is also not very likely to happen because of how much drama that would cause with the equally huge western playerbase
- The old leak list roadmap.
I disagree that that’s the only way. This could definitely work and not burn the house down. Maybe the part with Yugo nation’s being part of it, that would likely be an independent firestorm lol.

Its still a “leak” after all, and im pretty sure a leak discussed Ukrainian vehicles before the situation happened, so could be remnants of cancelled plans. If Ukrainian stuff eventually comes, let’s just say its going to be interesting to see the Russian Dev server stream chat lol
This was last year, Q4. Pretty new leak but things can change as it was a roadmap leak.
Honestly, whether English or Russian dev steam, the chat is always a **** storm of “I want this! BIAS!” etc. so it would likely be nothing too out of the normal.
As for the pre-conflict leak, it wasn’t a leak. It was the release of user-made vehicles by @DanPogan that people really wanted and which people kept twisting it into a “leak”.

I would honestly want this tech tree because it would be undoubtedly the most powerful in the game at top tier and it would be funny going from Russian bias to Ukrainian bias.

I think currently it would be just about the best with what we have in-game but once the latest versions of the Abrams, T-90M, Leopard 2A7A1, etc. it would compete very well.

And suddenly the English speaking Forum is going to love Gaijin lol/s
Just thinking about the theoretical lineup makes me excited.
BM Oplot, Yatagan, Strv 122V, Pantsir, and F-16. The more crew slots you get, the more insane it gets.
