    We join Ukrainian Kharkov plant once again, after taking a look at some of their other intriguing designs before. I mean, that place is a gold mine. It is now time to take a look at what could possibly be considered the most useless tank to ever exist.

      Arjun is piece of junk, FCS of Arjuna might be somewhat good but the problem is the gun it self sucks so having a good fire control system means nothing when you have a tank that can barely penetrate anything. ( except for the Ukrainian made T55-64 tank, thanks Ukrainian for making such weird tanks so that we have a video to watch about it )
      Also it's armor sucks so if you only have a RPG and was told you make sure the Arjuna doesn't break your lines than you are in for a tank slaughter.

    I've just read few articles about this tank a few days ago, in Ukrainian (I'm Ukrainian).
    useless or not, but Kharkiv plant has an abundance of rusty T-64 hulls that were brought from the DDR in the 90s, and this "modification" or "hybrid" was a proposal to sell them for cheap to countries that operate T-55 and have a lot of 100mm ammunition stored but wanted something "better".
    So instead of letting them rust or scrap them, they decided to earn some money and I don't think it's a bad idea.
    Is it the most useless tank ever? Maybe, if you are fighting a potent enemy, but if you are fighting some dudes with jeeps and RPGs probably not.
    Should it be used in modern combat or in the Ukrainian army? BIG NO.
    Can it be useful for some poor countries like Somalia or Zimbabwe? I think so.
    Were the designers drunk or something like that when designing this tank? Definitely not. In fact, they were smart but misunderstood.

      As some of the best tanks in the world right now (not that many countries put as much money into it) aren't exactly striking fear into Ukrainians, this is the correct take, also Romania didn't build these to fight off superpowers, in a way they are ingenious for reusing resources and creating something suitable for their needs and price concerns whereas many countries would just choose to have basically no tanks. Whereas my country bought hundreds of Abrams and will never use them, too heavy, even to support coalitions we could have just bought lighter tanks.
      The whole point isn't about upgrading or downgrading.

      42 rounds. Limited amount of APS. I even doubted APS ability to kill APFSDS.
      Assuming those infantries and mechanised forces have RPG-7s and long range ATGM (probably Konkurs or Kornet) with autocannons IFV it gonna be a stunlock for T14.
      If by any means those autocannons and anti tank rockets disabled all the T14 sensors and guns, rendering it blind and weaponless or it APS run out of ammo or being overwhelmed by various anti tank rockets, those weapon will surely make T14 Armata incapable for combat.
      The worse part is, you have one T14 only while for the same price you could get 30 shit tanks that could fire 30 HE rounds and 30 coaxial machine guns at the same time, sure some of them will explode due to them not having enough defenses, but those firepower alone will rout even the most hardened infantry. It like 30 Hyena tried to kill a lion.
      Statistically, yes it does look bad for this tank in 1v1 situation, but as far as im concerned, war never conduct in that particular way.

It's significative that the German upgrade armor kit for the Leo I (MEXAS) and both Leonardo and General Dynamic upgrade armor kits for the M60 added composite armor and not reactive armor. The Israeli M60 upgrade kit (M60 Sabra) uses reactive armor on the MkII instead.

      UVZ got the contracts for the upgrades to T-54 aswell as the new and improved T-55.
      T-62 did better than object 430, kharkov's tank didn't even see production...
      T-72 did better than T-64 (atleast in terms of sales), atleast they got to be the primary tank for a few years...

    @RedEffect
    So i wanted to point out something not related to the video. You have often said that the abrams L/44 gun needs an upgrade but the crux of the issue is that a longer gun will actually degrade it’s ability to defeat heavy ERA such as kontact 5 era. This is because m829a3 is like american version of 3bm42 mango in the sense that the steel tip is what set off the era allowing the main core to penetrate the armor unhindered. If you increase its velocity any further, the projectile will go so fast when striking ERA that by the time the explosives went off, the main core is now the one being affected, not the steel tip. This is why they developed M829A4. Assuming it is loaded back to higher velocities it is on par with DM63 L/55 in most respects despite being fired from a shorter gun. In fact, prototypes of M829A3 have already reached up to 1000mm penetration (most likely perforation and spalling, “penetration” as in the projectile gets through intact is more likely at 850mm) but as previously stated the main purpose when developing m829a3 was to defeat kontact 5, not to penetrate as much armor as possible. M829a4 on the other hand IS meant to penetrate as much armor as possible unlike A3 since spending RND on basically a m829a3 copy paste makes no sense.

    If it would have been a TR 85M1 turret, on the other hand, it might have had a better chance (with exploziv armour, aps, and retaining a competitive price), but they never thought it through.

    These tanks would be used as infantry fighting vehicles, not on tank vs tank battles. Also T55 can fire 3UBK10-1 (9k116 bastion) atgms with the factory turret and only upgrading the fire control system.

      What is the plague of all T-64 variants ? Its engine 5TD and 6TD engines were the problem. So now we are combining an outdated turret with an engine that is notorious for high maintenance and we are selling that in Africa ....
