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

Im not even talking abt that, why is there a forum about something that will probably never be implemented up for so long. All of ukraines tanks until recently were just russian mbts for the most part.
they keep being now tho. Uniques like Oplot or Yatagan are made singles for export or something, and for the most part they use modified T-64 “BULAT” or the T-80B variants.
Im a huge fan of the Kharkiv plant prototypes tho. Both made in USSR and independent Ukraine. My most beloved are “The shlong”`s:
BMT-72 - long T-72 with section for trops, Shtora and kontank-5
which also has futhrer modification - the BMT-72-120 with Yatagan turret (my guess that they needed to test the Yatagan armanment system but had no hull on hand so they did this)
And the new SHlong with same idea - the BMTP-84
with bigger troop compartment, different engine and the Yagatan turret

probably been posted here before, but Slovenia sent Ukraine a handful of moderinsed T-55s with ERA
The gun is swaped out for the british L7 which can fire HEAT, HESH APFSDS and APDS
this suggestion goes into more depth with sources, way higher quality then my comment

I do not know if someone already posted this in the comments, but ukraine also helped modernize peruvian T-55 trying to turn them into T-80U like, with 125mm, thermals, better engine, autoloader and ERA protection. If latam tree is not going to be a thing could be premium, event or sq for ukraine
