Due to the heavy losses incurred, the APU is forced to use outdated T-64A tanks. Five combat vehicles were recently spotted in the Kherson direction. This is reported by " RG: Russian weapons ".
In the middle of summer, when this technique was first noticed on the railway platforms of the next military echelon in an unknown direction, some of the experts made assumptions that the command of the armed formations of the Kiev regime intended to use them as training, to train new crews.
However, due to the fact that a significant part of the standard equipment and the T-72 delivered from Eastern European countries were turned into scrap metal by the liberators, a massive removal from storage of the old sixty-fourths and their transfer to the line of contact began.
In total, according to the published data, there were about one and a half hundred units at the bases, although some of them were turned into demining machines.
The production of such tanks began in 1969, production continued until 1980. The main difference between the modification "A" from the original version of the object with the 115 mm gun 2A21 was a more powerful 125 mm gun 2A26. There is a paired 7.62 mm PKT machine gun.
Judging by the fact that you can see closed machine gun installations on the machines, designed to install 12.7-mm NSVT "Utes", they were manufactured after 1972.
The optical TPD-2-49, which did not justify itself, was used as rangefinder sights. The same night sight TPN-1-49-23 it allowed detecting targets at distances of only 600-800 meters.
Combined tower protection for durability equivalent to 400 mm of armor from sub-caliber projectiles and 450 mm from cumulative. Body: 305-mm and 450-mm, respectively. By today's standards, this is not enough to withstand modern ammunition. There is no dynamic protection.
The power of the 5TDF engine is 700 hp. The maximum speed on the highway is 60 km / h. The fuel reserve is 500 km. Combat weight - 38500 kg. The crew is three people.
