You’re wrong. There are no Nizh or Dupllet layers.
There are only different types of HSCHKV elements. The same ones can be both Nizh and Duplet.
Is there any evidence that the DU1 was equipped with a thermal imager? It looks like it has an old sight.
Yeah, there are a plethora of sources stating so, but I deleted all my archived sources on the T-80UD (Pakistan) to clear up space. The Buran Catherine-E thermal imager uses the same sight housing as the Buran NVD sight, hence the ‘Buran’ part of the name. We also know this by the lack of a IR spotlight and the military requirements of Pakistan.
The first 15 batches lacked them but Pakistan threatened to cancel the order and Ukraine obviously got their game sorted afterwards
The Pakistani T-80UDs also use a new meteorological sensor, that probably being the same(ish) as the one found on the T-84 - this should also be present on the T-80UD/DU1 we’ve got in-game, one of few model inaccuracies it has in-game.

Good point about the name and how it refers to one hull.
I’m just a little skeptical due to the literally zero information about these tanks.
It’s strange that there’s so little information, including photos.
That’s more a issue with when the vehicles were precured, they were first upgraded/produced in the late 1990s and because of this, footage is scarce and hard to come by. There IS footage of the vehicles being produced however but many online sources tend to get the standard T-80UD 478B and T-80UD 478BE/DU1 mixed up.
Here is footage of the testing for the vehicle and its production
More information can be found on the T-80UD in the topic I created a while back.

The elements are different sized depending on the type of ERA used. Looking at the way the armor is set up, it’s supposed to be slightly different. There’s three layers of ERA in the side armor. I’ll need to find the manual. The information was either on Rumor Roundup or the Devserver BM Oplot-T page
I already said you’re wrong. Nozh and Duplet are ERA names. Both contain HSChKV-19 and 34 explosive elements. Both the Ukrainian and Thai Oplot BM use two layers of HSChKV-19A (aluminum, ineffective) and one layer of HSChKV-34P (copper, fairly effective) on the sides.
I’m aware of the elements and what the ERA is, there was a source citing the Thai Oplot-T manual that said otherwise on a different page. I don’t care if I’m wrong, but I was gonna find it to verify on the other page but oh well.
What a beautiful machine

Would be curious to see what armaments the Ukrainian Gripens will have in comparison to their Swedish counterparts

USSR. Period?
Question mark. As you please.
that`s an interesting thing in this game tho. For example - said KF41 was added to Hungary, but never saw the German tree. However the Stingray, which only operating country is Thai, was added to Thai AND us, when US never did even intend to use them.
So that does not really make any difference if the machine was solely developed or used by the country. The only thing that matters really is where developer wants to put it.
Agree, however the reason why Stingray was actually shared between both the US and Thailand was the possible outcry of the US mains who can’t get a single main calibre-armed tracked light tank that is not premium, event or goes to the different nation.
The US could’ve got their unique prototype varaint (with different FCS, engine and transmission AFAIK), but Gaijin is not Gaijin if it chooses unique addition to the TT over copy-paste.
well Russians did cry when they added TOR, T-90S to other trees tho, no one ever listened…
M1128?
tho its a higher br
Im glad that they added it tho, i guess they should do it with every “export” machine - but not to extent when there are 5 M55s xD
How tf is this thread still up its been like 2 years 🥀
