One of the six T-84U "Oplot" available to the APU was seen on the front line near Nikolaev. As noted by "RG: Russian weapons", earlier a tank of this model was first lit up in Kharkov, but there is no specific data on its participation in hostilities.
According to military experts, the "eighty-fourth" is one of the most failed projects in the global tank industry in the last two decades. Initially, these tanks were adopted by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Only 10 pieces. They even took part in a military parade in Kiev. Later, four pieces, including two equipped with the Drozd active protection complex (which were removed from the T-55AD inherited by Ukraine), were sold for study in the United States.
The remaining cars gradually failed and only in 2016 were sent for repairs, which turned out to be very poor quality, the technical condition of the "Strongholds" was terrible, which turned out to be at the "NATO tank biathlon" - Strong Europe Tank Challenge -2018. Then the Ukrainians performed the worst.
Currently, these tanks are again trying to return to the troops, however, they report that their crews are still distrustful of these defective products of the Ukrainian military-industrial complex.
