A T-64BM Bulat tank of the 1st Heavy Mechanized Siversk Brigade has undergone an upgrade addressing one of the key shortcomings of Soviet-era armored vehicles

The centerpiece of the upgrade is the transmission, reportedly sourced from the BM Oplot. Its key advantage is a fully functional reverse gear, allowing speeds of up to 35 km/h. This greatly improves maneuverability and enables the crew to disengage or withdraw more effectively.
