As a modernization of the powerful tier 4 T-64A ‘69, the T-64AV retains its powerful frontal armor and speed while gaining a more accurate gun and improved mobility, along with an armor upgrade which can provide excellent protection against incoming HEAT and ATGM fire.

History
This Soviet-era main battle tank was created as an update to the T-64 and eventually became the basis for modern Soviet tanks. With production commencing in 1963 and active service in 1967, over 13,000 units have been produced. The T-64A was able to remain a secret for many years, thanks in part to its limited presence in combat and similar appearance to the T-72. This is a late modification that received multiple upgrades over the original T-64A, including the Kontakt-1 ERA kit.
