1/3 of a full battalion size, even, Thailand apparently has more.
Ukraine only has 6, so if one of their battalions is 31, it’s less than 1/5th of a battalion. 6 Oplot-Us. I’m not sure on how many Oplot-Ms they have still.
It’s not but thank you. I didn’t have to do the hand, I was bored lol.
On the other side of things…more (older) images of some Oplot’s and a T-64BM Bulat:

Also some solid images of the Leopard 1A5DK(V).
Leopard 1A5DK(V), the Armor Spitter
- On top of the vehicle being layered in Kontact-1, the Leopard’s upper front plate is equipped with indigenous Nizh-1M ERA tiles which significantly increase its ability to withstand both CE and KE munitions. Nizh-1M is known to have superior performance when compared to Kontact-5. Overall, this is a serious revitalization of an old vehicle that’s been retired from the German military for around two decades.
- Tough vehicle to place a BR for but if I had to, I would place it at BR ~10.0 due to its new armor profile, good mobility, thermals, and DM63 APFSDS-T.

where the hell do they get so much Kontakt lmao
Soviet stockpile
I believe they are still making it. If you search up Nizh-1M, you can find the website for the company making it and they are also producing 4S20U, which is a Ukrainian modernized version of Kontakt-1.

I decided to look more into the T-84U above and found a bit about it. It’s name is Мурчик , or Murchik, which means “One who loves to purr.” It’s a common cat name. On the other side of the bore evacuator, a cat is painted on.

Yeah this one from my understanding was used in heavy fighting initially before being moved to a promotional role for the UAF.

Rumors are, this tank is still used as fighting machine, not only as a promotion steel box

I mean it makes sense since there’s footage coming out on Telegram of it in specific locations. Interesting to see.

PRP-3(M) ‘Parus’: New-found Purpose
- A PRP-3 (that is based off of the BMP-1 hull/chassis) forward observation vehicle that’s been modernized with a BM-7 Parus combat module, offering the vehicle a 30mm ZTM-1 autocannon, 30mm KBA-117 grenade launcher, and a KT-7.62mm coaxial machine gun. This is highly unique since the original vehicle featured a small caliber armament along with several comms equipment and a laser rangefinder for spotting targets for artillery units. In the configuration shown in the image, it is not equipped with ATGM’s.

Continuing from my earlier Gravehawk post (which I replied too in this post), the Gravehawk has been shown here in its containerized version. Shown here are R-73’s (the control surfaces on the tip of the missile are throwing me off). It can also equip the AIM-132 ASRAAM. Both the containerized and mobile versions share the same armament and are the same system. The containerized version can also be ‘mobile’ through the use of a Leyland DAF 8x6 heavy duty truck as seen below. The system uses advanced EO/IR equipment, controlled through the use of a game-style controller and display.

Also, another (one off) PRP-3 but with a BMD-2 (B-30) turret:
