The capabilities of the tank forces of Ukraine were evaluated in the United States. The most modern Ukrainian tank "Oplot" will not be able to influence the course of the battle. 19FortyFive columnist Brent Eastwood came to this conclusion.

The publication notes that Ukraine needs a tank to maintain its defense capability. Such a machine could be the T-84U "Oplot", but its small number will not allow to reveal the positive aspects of the tank. The author notes that there are several "Strongholds" at the disposal of the Ukrainian military.

Eastwood emphasizes that the T-84U is based on the Soviet T-80 tank. The Ukrainian modification received a welded tower, new dynamic protection and a 6TD-2 diesel engine with a capacity of 1200 horsepower.

The main weapon of the "Bulwark" was the KBA-3 smoothbore cannon, which is an unlicensed copy of the Soviet 2A46 cannon. The author of 19FortyFive notes that the fire control system of the Ukrainian tank causes insufficient accuracy and firing range.

In October, the Malyshev Plant prepared one Oplot for shipment to the USA. The Ukrainian car was ordered in 2018. The Pentagon "Stronghold" cost seven million dollars.

In August, the BM "Oplot" broke down during the rehearsal of the parade for the Independence Day of Ukraine. The crew could not repair the tank, so the "Stronghold" was taken away by an evacuation vehicle.
