“BULAT”: THE UKRAINIAN ANTI-DRONE SHIELD the Russian Army fears!

追加: 2026-05-09

[00:00:07]We pushed this bullet up to around 70 km/h.

[00:00:13]All T64 family vehicles can run on diesel, gasoline or kerosene. These fuels can be mixed in any proportions.

[00:00:35]I started my service on the T64 BM Bulot. The Bulat itself is a deep modernization of the standard T64. It is equipped with built-in Nij explosive reactive armor. It also has an improved fire control system compared to the older T64. The gunner's sight is better and so are the commander observation devices. On this vehicle, the T64 BM2 Bulot, a more powerful 6TD series diesel engine, and its modifications are installed.

[00:01:10]and the final drives from the Oplot tank which have reverse gear. So when moving backwards, it doesn't go like an old tank at four to 5 kmh anymore, but can accelerate up to 30 kmh.

[00:01:26]>> The gunner is aiming, the driver is moving. What is the tank commander doing at that moment? The tank commander maintains communication with higher command and monitors and controls the combat vehicle.

[00:01:40]He also resolves delays that may occur during firing or system activation and ultimately brings the crew home.

[00:01:54]I suggest we now climb inside the tank and talk about how everything is set up here. Let's go.

[00:02:03]I'll take the role of the gunner this time since I'm already familiar with the area and some aspects of service here.

[00:02:11]What does the tank commander actually use?

[00:02:16]This is the commander's site through which he adjusts fire.

[00:02:21]The tank commander's control panel.

[00:02:24]Through it, we load the shells into the conveyor here.

[00:02:32]This is how a shell is loaded into the gun barrel.

[00:03:15]A mechanical transmission gearbox. How many gears are there? Seven forward gears. Seven reverse gears. It's all quite simple. Clutch, accelerator, brake. A more high-speed and more maneuverable modification. As for my job, I only see advantages.

[00:03:41]>> The T64 according to its specifications, has a maximum speed of 60.5 kmh. This tank modification has a more powerful engine or rather there wasn't space or opportunity to fully test what its top speed is in practice.

[00:03:58]Has the engine become more powerful? And has it remained reliable?

[00:04:03]The engine became more powerful, but it's essentially the same engine that was installed on the bullets. They simply added one cylinder. Technically, it's the same design already well tested. It's not a new engine. It was previously installed on T80 tanks. Do you change the oil often?

[00:04:22]>> Well, in a tank, the oil is never fully replaced because the oil consumption is quite significant. That's normal operation.

[00:04:32]It's simply topped up rather than fully changed.

[00:04:39]What about protection here? I saw explosive reactive armor on the sides and something like a cope cage on top.

[00:04:47]Simple protection like NE or contact one was installed on the side. This is a factory-made system designed to protect against shaped charge munitions. But as this war has developed, we've been adding improvised so-called cages or a factory modification known as a hood over which a mesh is stretched. In some cases, this provides a significant level of protection against FP5 drones and other aerial systems that can drop explosives.

[00:05:18]I was 20 years old when I joined the Army for military service. In 2014, in June, conscripts were offered the option to sign a contract for the special period. Together with mobilized personnel, we were sent to the area of the anti-terrorist operation in the Luhansk region.

[00:05:42]At home, I had my parents, my mother, father, and older sister. My girlfriend is also waiting for me. Essentially, I'm fighting for my family and also for the people of Ukraine. If not me, then who else will do it?
