Semey Engineering has presented a modernized T-64 main battle tank at the exhibition in Victory Park in Tashkent. This was reported by Army Recognition.
The Uzbek T-64 received completely updated turret and hull, enclosed by armored elements. The original Soviet reactive armor blocks were removed.
The tank is equipped with a South Korean Doosan DP222LC diesel engine with a capacity of 950 hp. Thanks to the new power unit, the T-64 develops a speed of 65 km/h.
The armament consists of a 115-mm smoothbore D-68 gun, a 7.62-mm PKT machine gun. New headlights and, probably, lighting for night driving were installed.
One of the key advantages of the modernized T-64 is the emphasis on survivability in the face of drone threats.
Uzbekistan offers other post-Soviet T-64 operator countries a tank modernization option.
