MOSCOW, Apr 14 Bumar Łabendy Polish factory is experiencing difficulties with the repair of Ukrainian T-64 tanks, since they differ from the T-72 produced in the country, Defense24 writes. but it is inevitable that they will melt as the conflict continues and military equipment wears out,” the article says.
The author recalled that the T-72M and T-72M1 tanks never had a real fire control system — only a laser sight, unlike the T-64B/BV, which have the obsolete 1A33 Ob and 1A43U Ros.
In addition, the engines for the T-64 tanks have long since been removed from Polish production, which is already causing problems during their maintenance and modernization. Increasing their production capacity will require significant investments.
«It is necessary to carefully consider and conduct appropriate analyzes whether this game is worth the candle,» the article says.
The State Concern «Ukroboronprom» and a Polish company Polska Grupa Zbrojeniowa (PGZ) previously signed an agreement under which Ukrainian T-64 tanks will be serviced at the Mechaniczne Bumar Łabendy plant in Poland.
