The T-80 tank series is largely responsible for keeping the lights on for Ukraine’s major tank factories but the actual abilities of the T-84 have been the subject of fierce debate. Let’s find out why the Ukrainian Government decided to sell the tank to the United States Army in 2003 and we’ll analyze its unique weapons, armor and combat doctrine. Follow for open source intelligence links: https://www.instagram.com/cappyarmy Written by Chris Cappy & Josh Simpson Video Edited by Chris Cappy In order to understand the Ukrainian T-84 we need to look at its history. In the 1980’s the Soviet Government set out to build a better version of the T-80 tank. It would be faster and run on a more efficient diesel engine. To pull this off, they hired the Kharkiv Morozov Design Bureau, a tank factory located in Ukraine’s 2nd biggest city. At the time Ukraine was still a part of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic which was a part of the Soviet Union. KMDB delivered in 1985 with the creation of the T-80UD main battle tank, which ran on a faster, more efficient 1,000 hp 6TD engine. The new tank was first publicly shown at the 1990 Moscow Victory Day Parade right in time for the total collapse of the Soviet Union a year later in 1991.
