| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [VK] In Ukraine, they showed new photos of work on fine-tuning the T-64 to the level of T-64BM2 and told new data. It is in the T-64BM2 that the Command of the Ground Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine sees a tank for the near future. It is already planned to install a single information panel for the driver instead of traditional sensors on the tank: all indicators of the tank’s operation such as oil-fuel-temperature-speed will be displayed on the screen. In addition, it will also display the view from the reverse cameras and a map with GPS. Of course, everything that has recently been installed during repairs on linear T-64BV type thermal imagers, modern communications equipment will also be installed on the tank. It is expected that from 2022 all tanks that will be supplied to the Kharkov Armored Plant will be brought up to the level of T-64bm2. “I say “expected” because there is no contract for the T-64BM2 yet, but contracts for the repair of the T-64BV are also no longer being extended, because the BM2 is expected,” says Alexei Bobovnikov. 👉🏻Recall that the T-64BM2 tank received a 1000-horsepower 6TD engine. The engine compartment was completely redesigned. The modernization was carried out in close cooperation with the Kharkov Armored Plant, KMDB and the Design and Technology Center of the Ministry of Defense. 👉🏻The tank is equipped with a 1G46 sight and other modern components of the fire control system. 👉🏻A thermal imaging matrix was installed in the sight, which made it possible to expand the target recognition range to 3 km at night. 👉🏻A digital secure communication and navigation system has been installed. 👉🏻For protection, he received dynamic protection "Knife" and anti-cumulative grilles at the back. At the beginning of the year, it was reported that the State Enterprise "Kharkov Armored Plant" mastered the overhaul of this tank. The first batch of these modernized vehicles has already been transferred to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. |

| #8 Russia manufactured thousands and Germany was overwhelmed in the field. The T-64 wasn't produced until the 1960's. I believe you're thinking of the T-34, Dale. |
