[@armoredbaguette]

A friend of mine was an engineer in Kharkiv during the Soviet times and then in independent Ukraine, who worked on a multitude of vehicles, including T-64. I heard a lot of undocumented stories of the said vehicle development, like attempts to put SAMs and autocannons on top of the turret to battle US helis. During tests, the first turrets would crumble after being hit, and that made them irreparable. And repairability was a requirement. So they switched to Al2O3 in the armor department, which solved the problem of repairability even after a penetrating hit. Obviously, a crew wouldn't survive, but that wasn't as big of a concern as the former.

[@Bird_Dog00]

That's an interesting statement about crew survivability bing of a lesser concern than vehicle repairablity. I was always under the impression that the soviet army too vallued a well trained crew higher than the vehicle. After all, a tank can roll off the production line in a few days, training a crew takes months at least...

[@polygondwanaland8390]

@@Bird_Dog00 well the t-64 was an expensive and advanced tank for it's time, so it kinda makes sense they want it as repairable as possible.

[@kobeh6185]

Its certainly scary how little the capabilities of Soviet armor were understood. At the time the US was still fielding the M60, the Soviets fielded not only a smoothbore equipped tank in the T-62, but also a 125mm armed APFSDS firing autoloader tank with composite armor, all in a package that was lighter, faster, and more well armed and armored than anything the west possessed. There was a time where Soviet tanks could eliminate any western tank at virtually any combat range.

[@logannicholson1850]

The fact that it wasn’t until highly advanced 105mm rounds and new MBTs like the Abrams and Leo 2 did the west have some sort of counterpart

[@aymonfoxc1442]

The West saw AP missiles as an effective counter to Soviet armour during the 1950s and 1960s. The widespread adoption of missiles in West helped convince the Soviets of their validity and thus the urgent need to develop missiles equal or better than those of the US for use in armoured warfare. The lineage of the designs that resulted can still be seen today, even in modern Russian armour whilst the West gained time to catch up in the areas of armour development that were dragging the anchor.

[@Axterix13]

Maybe. Because it is also the case that when the western countries actually faced various Soviet designed tanks, like in the war in Iraq, they found they'd overestimated their abilities. Not saying the Soviets didn't build decent tanks, but, like the T-34, they tend to have a variety of drawbacks that people overlook/ignore.

[@kobeh6185]

@@Axterix13 thats a comparison in the opposite favor. A bunch of poorly trained crews in T-72s in extremely disadvantageous positions facing US vehicles with thermal imaging and stabilized weapons is of course a crushing defeat. A T-64 firing 125mm anti tank ammunition is without a doubt going to destroy an M60A3 at any reasonable combat distance. Mentioning the Abrams is beyond the point because it represents the closing in the gap between US and Soviet armor. By the time of the Abrams introduction the Soviets had fielded 3 different composite armor tanks with advanced heavy smoothbore cannons. Comparatively the M1 Abrams started with the same 105mm rifled gun as the M60 before it.

[@hendi1571]

@@kobeh6185 but the M60A3 TTS featured a thermal sight for the gunner and modern 105mm apfsds were capable of penetrating all but the most modern soviet mbts (T-80U/T-80UD, T-72B, T-72B Obr. 1989) frontally. While lacking in armor compared to soviet late second gen tanks, the M60A3 TTS packed a heavy punch and was deadly accurate, its fcs was one of the most advanced of its era, especially as it had a thermal sight, something only T-80UK got.

[@jackburton9035]

Yeah you’re right, the L7 was developed after the British measured a t-55 during the Hungarian uprising in 1956. The British over measured and believed the 20 pounder to be unable to penetrate the t55 and so developed the L7 as a direct competitor. The chieftain was seen as the direct response to the t64 with its 120 l11 which phased out the conqueror and centurion. I think cone has missed some key points here.

[@flawer1316]

Tbf. Its mostly how shit the tank is being used.

[@Damien_N]

I thought that the reason Ukraine continued with development of the T-64/T-80 was on account of inheriting the production line and technical package from the Soviet Union. Likewise for the Russian Federation and the T-72/T-90. I would have thought that Russia would have preferred to further develop the more "prestigious" vehicle - intended for use with it's tank divisions as opposed to the vehicle which was intended to accompany her Motorised Rifle divisions. Interesting stuff!

[@aymonfoxc1442]

Ukraine did indeed inherit a lot of the production line like most sophisticated engineering products in Ukraine, I believe components likely came from at least three countries. The Ukranians have certainly made it an indigenous sovereign manufacturing capability now.

[@matthiuskoenig3378]

The Soviets chose uvz to produce the next main tank for shock armies to replace the t-80 and t-64. This is because the t-72b proved uvz could produce superior armour layouts, reliability and range while still being cheap to produce and the only reason the t-80s outperformed them was better optics and firecontrols where were not part of kharkov's design but something added later. This resulted in objects 188 and 187, the former of which eventually became the t-90, both are uvz designs. Object 187 was the prefurred choice, basically being to a t-72b what a t-62 was to t-55 (new turret, modified and lengthened Hull, but a ton of interchangable parts) but Russia chose the 188 becuase of a lack of funds after the fall of the ussr (thus only building the object 188 which was originally just going to be called the t-72bu as it was intended to be a t-72 upgrade. But when it became the t-80 replacement instead it got a fancy new name, the t-90)

[@hendi1571]

@@matthiuskoenig3378 wasnt the turret armor layout and strength of the T-80U or at least the UD comparable to T-72B? Furthermore Objekt 187 was not simply an T-62 like Improvement over T-72s qualitys, it introduced a new hull and especially ufp layout (which russian tanks lack up to this day) and a new layout for the engine. So it implemented totally and radically new features.

[@Nothing_._Here]

@@hendi1571 T-80U has armor far superior to T-72B, T-80UD has armor superior to T-90. The T-90A's turret is even based on the late T-80UD's turret. I'm not sure why Matthius is talking out of his ass. Obj-187 failed in it's attempt to be selected as the new USSR tank, Obj 477 was intended to go into production in the 1990s as it vastly outperformed all the alternatives. T-80UD was intended to be an intermediate production tank until 477 was in inventory in significant numbers. T-90 was never a replacement for T-80s, it was meant to replace T-72Bs. The only reason it hasn't is a lack of funds.

[@hendi1571]

@@Nothing_._Here I'm not quite sure about this. There are varying accounts and opinions according to which the armor (turret front) of T-80U is either slightly weaker, slightly better or somewhat substantially better compared to the T-72B. The latter seems indeed most accurate as development of Objekt 187 and 188 was supposedly initiated with the intent to raise T-72 protection to T-80U level. But I've seen the hint that T-72B obr. 1989 was already a major step in this direction, which would make sense as Objekt 188 did not really have far better armor than this latest T-72 variant and instead featured a capable FCS. So as I said that's quite contested. And as the layout of the armor of T-80U and T-72B is significantly different its hard to compare. Furthermore T-80Us turret armor was improved over time, especially in 1989 which makes it even mor complicated. But in this case, T-80UD turret armor would outperform T-90 by a pretty big margin as the former surpasses T-80U itself and the latter is more or less the same as T-72B. But T-90A turret is unlikely to be based on T-80UD. It was based on Objekt 187 welded turret - yeah, Objekt 478BK had a welded turret as well but it was Kharkov's product. Furthermore this would mean that T-80UDs armor layout would follow the one of T-72B, as T-90A still shares the basic layout of T-72B afaik. And that seems pretty unlikely but its not impossible as T-80UD's turret armor significantly varied from T-80U. T-80UD was adopted as it was far cheaper in production and service than T-80U - a gas turbine was around 8 to 10 times more expensive than a diesel engine and had a 1,2 to 1,4 times higher fuel consumption. After Ustinovs death a new high capability Diesel engine tank became bearable again - introducing T-80UD. While T-90 may not have been inteded to replace T-80s in service, it replaced them in production as producing 3 different designs at the same time (T-80U in Omsk and by Kirov; T-72 and T-90 by UVZ ) was deemed not feasible and Yeltsins Russia-policy played a role as well.

[@aymonfoxc1442]

A very well made and well researched video mate however, one note is that against up-armoured Cold War era tanks, many believe that the Ukranians' Cold War era armour piercing sabot shell may be found wanting at medium and long ranges. A HE shell may also therefore be selected to deal with these in a fashion similar the Germans peppering Soviet armour with HE in WW2, when their 37mm and 57mm AP shells struggled against the T-34 and KV-1. The Americans also did this to some degree when encountering German heavy armour and even Panthers. The HE has a chance to cause damage and holes in the top of the tank and shrapnel to split off inside the tank from the percussive force. Shrapnel can include metal fragments and paint chips/ dust; making it dangerous and even lethal. Some tank hulls have been known to amplify the percussion, making things worse. HE may also cause the damage to, or misfiring of, some reactive armour modules - making a tank more vulnerable to the old AP shells. I haven't researched the T-64's characteristics against percussive forces but since it is such an early example of its MBT lineage, I'm inclined to imagine vulnerabilities remain. Although this would be less than an ideal situation for warfighting, it would be a fair fight if both sides now face the same problem with the same tanks. I do note that the infantry support role does indeed tend to be the dominant use of the T-64 tanks in Ukraine today but I just thought that I'd provide a cautionary note as an example of how the load out of tanks can be deceiving without specific context, especially since they will still form the backbone of Ukraine's armoured response against a Russian incursion if Ukranian drills are an accurate guide.

[@werrkowalski2985]

You are comparing post WWII tanks to WWII tanks though, I'm pretty sure the T-64 had some sort of a spall liner, meaning unless it is hit in a place where there is like ~40mm of armor it should be ok.

@@werrkowalski2985 Yeah but I doubt they are just going to stare at each other and wave as they go by, and like I said that may also be hoping to open a gap in the reactive armour's protection to make scoring an effective hit possible but I'm spit-balling here mate.

Very interesting, when is a video on the T72 coming? I’ve always felt curious about why the wheels of the t64 and t72 are so different and what advantages each wheel design has. Also it would be interesting to know if there is a big difference in armor protection between the t64 and t72 in the early variants.

[@namefamily2748]

Fast answer: T-64 wheels were made to accoplish weight reqirements. T-72 were heavier,but much more reliable, durable, and better

During tank-on-tank engagement in 2014, Ukrainian T-64s were able to disable several Russian T-72s with HE hits, apparently even when hit from the front, 125mm shell can and will ignite the engine of T-72. After that, T-72s were abandoned by the crews during the battle.

[@elusive6119]

@@r-saint There definitely could not be a T-72B2 "Slingshot", this is a prototype of the UVZ modernization for the T-72B in 1989. it is the basis for the T-72B3, but it is very different from it. T-72B 1989, similar to the B3 because it is being upgraded from this model. The most protected and dangerous. T-72B1 (BV) simplified model T-72B 1984. T-72B3 2013 is a T-72B 89 body with complete disassembly, defection and replacement of systems, engine and weapons with T-90A 2004 and modern T-90S systems. The T-72A was not used, as far as I know. The T-64A is the original model, has no EPA, weak armor, poor reliability, but good FSC. T-64BV mid-80s, there is a first-generation EPA, excellent FCS, armor at the level of T-72B 1984, as well as reliability problems. T-64BM Bulat - T-64BV with a heavy Knife-type ERA, suffered heavy losses, was withdrawn from the conflict zone due to constant breakdowns, very weak chassis. The T-64M is the T-64BV, but with a Polish thermal imager and a new "light" epa "knife", some analogue of the T-72B3, work on errors regarding the T-64BM Bulat. But they are few. In addition to the T-72B3 (Catherine generation 2+ cooled thermal imager) and the T-64M (not cooled generation 1+), the listed tanks do not have thermal imagers. 125mm guns are really similar and use the same high-explosive shells. But the T-72B3 uses the A46M5 cannon T-90A with a slightly different design and improved characteristics, the T-64BV and T-72B use standard 2A46-2 and 2A46-1. the main shells for these guns are high-explosive or cumulative. They are much more powerful and closer to artillery shells than tank shells in the usual view. In addition, the T-64BV is much more advanced than the T-72B, but inferior to it in reliability and protection, the guns are the same. They were produced in parallel and it is not correct to assume that the T-64BV is older (in addition, there were also T-80B and 3 (!) tank models at the same time), this is not so. A high-explosive projectile has every chance of damaging any tank because it is a 5-6kg land mine. It can ignite the external tanks, damage the cannon and take everything off the armor, including ERA, which will detonate at the same time. If the tank received several hits at the same time and lost mobility or the ability to shoot, it is thrown because the crew is more priority. And ... yes, in this conflict, the use of AFPDS is rather episodic because high explosive (hash) are quite effective and universal for all purposes, besides there are many of them, and there are practically no afpds, and the old ones are not effective. The exception is the T-72B3, which has much stronger armor, the same ERA and a modern thermal imager arrow, while a new gun and shells. In total, 5 (!) T-72B3 were lost, most likely due to ATGM on board or massive shelling. The losses of the T-64 from all sides are almost 400 tanks. T-72B3 among the old tanks is a fox in a chicken coop at night. All losses of armored vehicles are reflected on the lostarmor website.

The T-64 has been used in combat since 2014, so this is by no means it's baptism of fire. And Ukraine actully plans to phase them out, after the war is over, and standardize on the T-72 and T-80.
