The T-64BV Model 2017 Main Battle Tank is a Ukrainian modernized version of the Soviet T-64B MBT, or rather its T-64BV variant that was fitted with ERA from the start. As the T-64 series of tanks was developed and produced in the Ukrainian part of the Soviet Union (specifically Kharkov), Ukraine was left with hundreds of these vehicles after gaining independence whereas the T-64s were phased out in Russia.
The tank was gradually upgraded with several major overhauls developed in the 2000s but the general lack of funding has always prevented Ukraine from adopting expensive modernizations (such as BM Bulat or the Oplot MBT) en masse. Instead, gradual and more affordable improvements to the T-64B MBT were introduced with Model 2017 being one of the main ones, putting it roughly on par with late T-72Bs.
The main upgrades include the Nizh ERA (said to be effective even against kinetic rounds) replacing the old Kontakt series, new thermal imager, new satellite navigation system, new radio and several other improvements.
The production of this model was launched in 2017 and between 2017 and 2019 roughly 100 tanks of this type were delivered to the Ukrainian military. The production is ongoing with the estimates ranging from 120 to 150 built to date. They are still a common sight on the Battlefield despite relatively heavy losses.

| This MBT's front is protected by composite armor. Composite armor consists of combined layers of steel and other material and offers excellent protection against HEAT shells and ATGMs. Its steel sides and rear are considerably more vulnerable. The third generation ERA kit offers excellent protection against standard HEAT rounds or warheads, and partial protection against kinetic rounds and tandem HEAT warheads. | |||||||
