T-80 and T-84 Main Battle Tanks Information pool

Dazzler said:
Is this confirmed? Pakistani t-80UDs are essentially ukrainian t-84s (Objekt. 478DU) as they house several similar subsystems including armour, engine, transmission and welded turret. I dont think Ukrainians will be happy. Worst, the V series diesel engines are also installed in the Indian t-90S and are known for breaking down and have reliability problems.

If true, thats a bad sign. Not to mention, the AK series also relies on Ukrainian powerpacks/ transmissions.

It is not mentioned here but from where I got news it is confirm the offer has been made and talks have taken place on the issue. It will take 2 to 3 months in the contract to be signed and modernization will also take place in Pakistan.

I have no info on how many tanks they will upgrade or what is the cost of the package. The decision came because the upgraded T-80 performed better than all at the games the tank stole the whole show that is what I heard. The upgrade will be equal to Russian latest package.

Translation

Russian specialists in the near future may be engaged in the modernization of the T-80 tanks that Pakistan purchased in Ukraine. Islamabad announced its readiness to conclude an appropriate contract with Moscow.

"We would like to upgrade armored vehicles to the present day. Since this is a Soviet military tank, Russia has all the possibilities for its modernization, " Anvar Noman, deputy head of the state military industrial corporation Heavy Industrues Taxila, told reporters on the fields of the Army-2018 forum.

Tank T-80 - the main battle tank, produced in the USSR, has been in service since 1976. Earlier News.ru wrote that Russia's modernization of the machine has been "Uralvagonzavod" .

Essentially, the t-80BVM is the latest upgrade offered enhancements in armour, fire control, Sosna U multichannel optics, auto tracker is a welcome improvement, and Relikt ERA elements.

Are you sure? That's the BVM package but it was the based on the t-80B version. However, the package can be applied to all known t-80 versions including those developed in Ukraine.

It is the latest offering.

Pakistan has additional demands and team will visit HIT. Now I don't know weather the additional demand is to train our people in overhauling or addition to package. But this is confirm they are going for the package which Russia has on the minimum.

we signed agreement with Ukraine during last IDEAS defence exhibition

Quote

Ukraine and Pakistan start the practical implementation of the agreements in defense industry aimed at expanding cooperation in armored vehicle production under the Pakistani T-80UD tanks upgrade program.

State-run enterprise Ukrspecexport said that at the 13th International Defence Exhibition and Conference (IDEX) 2017 (the United Arab Emirates), the top managers of the Ukrainian enterprise met with representatives of Armed Forces of Pakistan. Ukraine and Pakistan signed two contracts to overhaul first five T-80UD tanks of the Pakistani Armed Forces (a pilot project) and to supply 88 tank sights to Pakistan.

The contracts were signed as part of agreements confirmed in the memorandums of cooperation signed at the IDEAS 2016 (Pakistan) in November 2016 with the participation of Ukrainian Defense Minister Stepan Poltorak, the press service said.

if the news is true than it mean the pilot project for the upgradation of 5 T-80UD tanks was not satisfactory (if the project has already executed) further its a sign to say goodbye to oplot tank
