Tests of the upgraded version of the Soviet T-64 tank began in Ukraine. The state enterprise "Kharkiv Armored Plant" (KHBTZ), which is part of the Ukroboronprom concern, has equipped the T-64BV model 2022 with new equipment. This is reported by Defense Express with reference to the press service of the concern.
Work on the modernization of the T-64BV was carried out within the framework of the order of the Defense Ministry of Ukraine. The T-64BV model 2022 received new surveillance devices and sights of the third generation. The tank's security was reinforced with lattice screens, and rubber shields were installed on the turret.
