The fighters of the 1st Slavic brigade are fighting with the militants of the Kiev puppet regime, using a captured tank, previously intended for export to one of the African countries.The "RG: Russian weapons" reports with reference to the Press Service of the DNR UNM, the combat vehicle belonged to the neo-Nazi regiment "Azov" (a terrorist organization banned in the territory of the Russian Federation).
She was found in Mariupol, in the ruins of a destroyed house. "Sixty-fourth" was dug up and restored. Currently, the tank was used in the area of the settlement of Opytne, which was cleared of enemy formations. [...]
Weseushniki are trying to gain a foothold in the forest belt located behind the buildings, it is from there that they are knocked out by tankers, acting from closed positions. Targeting is carried out using an unmanned aerial vehicle.
The T-64B1M is a kind of budget export version of the BM "Bulat". For example, old sights were left on them, and the equipment necessary for the use of guided ammunition through the barrels of 125 mm guns was dismantled.
At the same time, the mounted dynamic protection was replaced with a built-in "reactive armor" that protects both from cumulative ATGM combat units, rocket-propelled grenades of hand and machine-gun grenade launchers, and sub-caliber projectiles.
In comparison with the Bulat, the protected side screens have a different design, a niche for property appeared in the stern of the tower. New means of communication have been installed.
The engine remained old - 700 hp 5TDF, but since the mass was 42,000 kg, like the earlier T-64BV, the speed remained the same - 60 km / h.
About a dozen T-64B1M intended for export were requisitioned for their own needs. Currently, almost all of them have been destroyed or have become trophies.
