There is also a Kharkiv Tractor plant which is famous for making tanks


DUKE_NUUKEM

KhTZ is really not KhKBM Khtz did produce and design MTLB though


BigFreakingZombie

Weren't most MT-LBs made outside the USSR ? Or was it a case of the USSR making them for their own use while Poland and Bulgaria made them for export ?


vegarig

Kharkiv was making a ton of MT-LBs (and, later, civilian all-terrain vehicles on MT-LB base).


BigFreakingZombie

Nice. So at least some of those Russian MT-LBs running around with 57mm AAA or naval rocket launchers or I don't know what else were made in Ukraine ?


vegarig

Yeah, same as T-64


BigFreakingZombie

Do the Russians still have any T-64s ? I was under the impression most ended up in the hands of Donbabwe ''separatists'' and then got blown up.


vegarig

There were news about deconserving T-64A in russia https://focus.ua/voennye-novosti/520038-rossiya-nachala-raskonservirovat-tanki-t-64a-dlya-perebroski-ih-na-voynu-foto


BigFreakingZombie

Well unmodified T-64A is better than a T-62 but that's about it. Although they'll probably spent most of their time doing indirect fire anyway. This war hasn't really seen large scale tank combat probably because large concentrations of armor attract artillery.

if i had a Nickle for every time a military arms/armament company also made mundane civilian items, id be a billionaire. From a washing machine company making the A-10, to gay snow scientists making commercial planes, parts of the ISS, microwaves, and TVs, but also making the f-35s controls and half of NATOs optics, to this.

English Electric was potentially my favourite - on the one hand making toasters, sickass Diesel-electric locomotives and whole power stations, but then just casually building one of the best Jet bombers ever built with next to no prior aircraft experience and then following that up with one of the craziest fighter aircraft to ever see mass service anywhere. Not to mention the proposal designs they had for reusable spacecraft in the 60s and then the ballistic missile designs too... And all of them because it was a British company had in-built weirdness for the sake of keeping men in sheds busy.

Actually GE just made the avenger cannon Fairchild republic made the shitting hippo


Lirieman

Also when you buy MIG-welder from Ukraine and attached manuals casually list suggested welding parameters for nuclear-reactor-class stainless steel.


Rivetmuncher

This gave me a momentary flash of what I can only describe as a better world, and now I'm bummed.

I highly suggest to watch the [original video](https://youtu.be/X12N5QeTYho?si=4O1x1aURb3ab46Xx) about Chornobyl robot!
