Weird, my post was deleted. Again, they found the Azovets Armored Fighting Vehicle buried and excavated it. It gives us more images of the limited-information vehicle. Likely around 10.7-11.3 due to being equipped with heavy ERA, several ATGM’s and cannons. I can imagine that we should see some more images of the vehicle including of the interior come out. Links provide more information and a video. No political references intended, post is solely for the vehicle due to its uniqueness.

The T-84 was put into service in 2000 under the name T-84 and only in the future, for marketing reasons, was renamed BM Oplot.
In the instruction manual you can clearly see how the original name was crossed out with a pen and corrected to BM Oplot.

Aha : D
This should probably be addressed too, unless the T-84 thing has just for simplicity for the common reader

This is your Personal opinion… - The Operation Manual is not an Official document on the adoption of the tank into service…
- For example, here Tarasenko’s personal opinion, he offers three options for the name of the tank…
Here you can also see that the name BM “Oplot” for the tank has been reserved since at least 1998…
T-84 «Объект 478ДУ9» (narod.ru) - site HKBM… note that the name BM “Oplot” and not T-84 “Oplot” like many bloggers… ХКБМ - Основной боевой танк Т-84 (archive.org)
- On your own (if you live in Ukraine) you can try to find… Official Document…
The tank was put into service by Decree of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine No. 237-5 of 08.02.2000…
Accordingly, you need to look in the Official Bulletin of Ukraine or in the newspaper “Урядовий кур’єр” (Government Courier)
If we are talking about the official name under which it was put into service in 2000, then this is T-84.
The name was changed already after its adoption
I don’t understand why you need to look for newspapers if you can personally write a letter to the email of the Cabinet of Ministers Ukraine with a request to show the decree No. 237-5 of 08.02.2000
What does it costs for GE in USSR tech tree ?
god, this is exactly as rat truck with somewhat madmax style in sand dust with green paint
May be a bit lower than 2S38 I think, still about 9.2k GE
I forgot what this is even called. With the 292 being a thing, this has every right to exist.
Does anyone have the info?

I don’t really know this info, but i’m not entirely sure what is this
Object 490, I believe it had its running gear tested, but nothing else.
Edit: found a picture of the running gear vehicle.

On the later iteration, yes, but what is shown is Object '490A
No, the pictured vehicle is the first 490, 490A is the further developed one that has a different turret.
—=Object 490A (125mm)=—

Does anyone have info on soviet ERA “Gofr”, which was basically the first soviet ERA to use same method Nozh ans Duplet use? (after Gofr Nozh and Duplet were developed based on it, Gofr dates back to 1984, being developed as alternative to K-5)?

Fixed to ‘soviet ERA’, is that all that’s known?
Im primarly asking if there ever been a vehicle that had this mounted as a module.
Don’t know🤷♂️
Pictures of it can be found from the 1999 arms expo in Omsk, and was given by the СО-РАН (SO-RAN) Lavrent’yev institute.
Not too sure of the ERA specifics themselves, as it not being in service mean it does not have any identifying codes open to the public like 4S20/21, 4S22, 4S23/24U, or 4S24.
