This is BM Oplot-2, but I don't know what exactly was upgraded. Problems of Oplots - enough big cost and some parts, which produced in Russia. Ukraine to this time couldn't find substitution for its or start own production. There is "Bastion" project exists - modernized BM Oplot for Ukrainian army without Russian parts, but first tank have to be built not early than in 2023. But probably this will not have any sense, because Kharkiv tank design bureau now works over new tank project, based in Soviet project Nota. All information about these works is classified. But several days ago new Ground Forces commander said there is unite armored platform for tanks and heavy IFV in development. Probably this is about "Nota 2.0" project In present time five or six T-84 Oplot mod.2001 (not BM Oplot) are on armament of 92th mech.brigade.

You can translate via Google: https://defence-ua.com/weapon_and_tech/ministerstvo_oboroni_ukrajini_vzjalo_pid_zahist_sekretnij_tank_nota-4019.html This is Soviet project of percpective tank, launched in 1980 by Kharkiv design bureau. Main features - unmanned turret and 152 mm gun. During 10 years this project transformed in obj.490 "Boxer", obj.492 "Buntar", obj. 477 "Molot", obj 477A "Nota". Also own vision of this project represented tank design schools of Leningrad and Nizhniy Tagil, but Kharkiv's vision won. After 1990 there was at least 10 experimental tanks were built, part on elements of chassis of T-80UD, part on elements of chassis of T-64B. Six tanks remained in Ukraine, but because of decline of economy and army in 90th-2000th further developing of this project was canceled. Russians, which got 3 or 4 tanks, probably could to use obj.477 developments in own Armata project. Since 2018 some leaks appeared that Kharkiv design bureau renewed works over Nota project. Ukraine also kept experimental 152 mm APFSDS rounds. But there is no any information what exactly they do with Nota tanks.

So Ukraine will also go down in the direction like the Armata. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
