Trumpeter 1/35 Ukraine T-64BM Bulat Main Battle Tank Modernised T-64B # 09592

The T-64BM Bulat is a Ukrainian upgrade of the aging Soviet T-64B main battle tank.

Ukraine operates over 2 200 of the old T-64 Main Battle Tanks (MBTs).

The Bulat was revealed in 1999.

Initially, two upgrade variants were proposed - the T-64BM (also referred to as the T-64U) and the T-64BM2.

The T-64BM2 was fitted with a new automatic loader, however, it had an inferior fire control system.

Eventually, the more advanced T-64BM upgrade was selected.

First vehicles were upgraded and delivered to Ukrainian Army units in 2005.

In 2014 this MBT saw action during the ongoing military conflict in Ukraine.

It was widely used during this conflict.

However recently all surviving T-64BM tanks were repaired and put to storage.

For some reason, the Ukrainian military command decided not to use these tanks in conflict and rely on the aging T-64BV tanks.

Protection was improved by the installation of add-on passive and Explosive Reactive Armor (ERA).

Composite armor is used at the front of the hull and turret.

The T-64BM Bulat is fitted with Ukrainian Nozh modular ERA, which reportedly recommended itself well.

The vehicle is fitted with NBC protection and automatic fire suppression systems.
