T-84 | Main Battle Tank | BM-Oplot T-84 |
10[12] 25+[13] | Ten T-84U acquired before 2014, six currently being restored to active service. Nearly 130 T-80UD tanks are being updated to the T-84 standard by the Kharkiv Armored Plant over the course of a three-year period beginning in Spring 2019 [14][15][16] | ||
T-80 | Main Battle Tank | T-80BV T-80UD | ~122/~88 137 Total 340+[17] | In 1995 there were 345 T-80 and T-80UD models however these were placed in storage in favor of the more plentiful T-64B and T-64BV tanks. With the onset of Crimean and Donbas conflicts the Ukrainian state decided to restore and return to service the T-80s to make-up both for tank force losses suffered in Donbas and the qualitative advantages of the more modern Russian T-72B2 and T-72B3 models being used by Donbas forces.[18] According to an advisor to then President Poroshenko in 2015, around 100 T-80BV tanks were to be restored to service and assigned to airmobile brigades.[19] The modernization of the T-80 tanks by Kharkiv Armored Plant uses the same new technologies as the T-64BV 2017 (passive thermal imaging, new dynamic protection, additional side skirt protection, a new digital radio station, modern night vision instruments with a third-generation electron-optical converter, and satellite navigation). As of March 27, 2020 over 88 updated T-80BVs have up been delivered to the Ukrainian military since January of 2019 at a rate of circa 6 tanks per month.[20] Over 130 T-80UD tanks are also being updated to the T-84U standard.[14][15][16] The updated T80 tanks are passed along to Air Assault and Marine units.[21] | ||
T-72 | Main Battle Tank | T-72AMT T-72UA1 T-72B1 T-72AV T-72A T-72B3 Total | 35+ 74 1 70 130+ 1 ~300 | Ukraine inherited between 1,044 and 1320 T-72[17][22][23] tanks from the Soviet Union but because the manufacturing plant - Uralvagonzavod - was now in Russia, Ukraine decided to sell many of its T-72 tanks while maintaining its domestically produced stock of T-64 instead. 863[24] T-72s were sold to third countries in the period 1992-2015 - Ethiopia 200[25][26] units, Sudan 130[27] unit, Kenya 110[28] units, South Sudan 101[29][30] units, DRC 100[31] units, Georgia 74 units, Myanmar 50[32] units, Macedonia 31[33] units, Algeria 27[34] units, Azerbaijan 25[35] units, and Nigeria 14[24] units. This left Ukraine with a total of around 450 tanks according to some estimates but numbers are difficult to determine with certainty due to foreign sales, combat losses and alleged acquisitions. Until 2015 all Ukrainian vehicles were stored but severe tank losses in the Donbass War and the inability of the Ukrainian arms industry to restore T-64 tanks fast enough forced the army to reactivate as many units as could be repaired with improvised parts produced at the Lviv tank repair plant. In 2018 the Army announced that it will receive 72 T-72UA1.[36] Ukroboronprom announced that the Lviv Armor Plant had completed its repair of T-72UA1s ahead of schedule in December of 2019.[37] In January 2020 the Kiev Armored Plant announced it was transferring a battalion of 31 T-72AMT tanks to the army.[38] The Kiev Armored Plant produces T-72AMT at a rate of five per month with the tank being completely dismantled and then assembled with new parts - all assemblies and wiring must be replaced. In addition to an upgraded engine, new running gear and sideskirts of the T-80 and new Nozh (Knife) reactive armor, the T-72AMT receives all of the same upgrades as the T-64 2017 Model (passive thermal imaging, additional side skirt protection, a new digital radio station, modern night vision instruments with a third-generation electron-optical converter, rearview camera for the driver and satellite navigation)[39] | ||
T-64 | Main Battle Tank | T-64BM "Bulat" T-64BV 2017 T-64BV T-64B | 130+ [40][41][42] 222+[43][44] 400~ 1,000+ | Only T-64BV and T-64BM are in use with T-64B stored as reserve. Ukraine begun 2014 with 83 BMs' and 700 BVs', but since the beginning of the Donbass War, at least 170 T-64 variants were destroyed in combat and 65 captured by opposing forces.[45] In 2019 UkrOboronProm announced the Kharkiv Armored Plant was modernising T-64BV tanks to the 2017 Model and that over 100 had been delivered to the Ground Forces by February 2019.[46][47] By August of 2019 it was announced that the Lviv Armored Plant was also modernising T-64s to the Model 2017 standard.[48] By Oct 2019 it was reported that over 150 T-64 Model 2017 tanks had been delivered to the Ukrainian Ground Forces by only the Kharkiv Armored Plant. An increase of 50 tanks in the six months between February and October would suggest a rate of six tanks being renovated each by the Kharkiv Armored Plant[49][50][51] The Lviv Armored Plant resets and restores T-64s at a rate of five per month for a combined rate of over 11 T-64BV Model 2017s delivered each month.[43] As of March 27, 2020 over 165 T-64BV 2017 tanks had been delivered by the Kharkiv Armor Plant alone.[20] When combined with the Lviv Armor Plant of over 40 tanks, the two plants have restored and modernized over 200 T-64BV model 2017 tanks[52] 4 more T-64BV Model 2017 were delivered in May 2020[53] Another 10 were delivered by the Lviv Armored Plant in July 2020.[54] The T-64 2017 represents the most modern version of the T-64s in Ukrainian service and the Bulats are being passed to the reserves.[55] | ||

Previous entries for this article have listed BMP-1s as having 900+ in current inventory or storage which likely better represents the estimated actual number.[17] The Zhytomyr armored plant delivers upgraded BMP-1 IFVs on a regular ongoing basis [58] whereas Ukrspetsexport delivers upgraded BMP-1s that are imported from other nations such as the 37 BMP-1s which were imported, assembled and shipped to the Ukrainian Ground Forces in April 2020[59] Due to the expansion of the Ukrainian Ground Forces nearly all the repairable BMP-1 and BMP-2 have been returned to service.[60] | ||

Unit cost $1,500,000. Used mostly if not exclusively by the Airborne Forces. Several lost in combat. Another 16 transferred to the armed forces on March 24, 2016 with factory production set at 7 a month. Another 5 received on October 3, 2018.[64] 31 will be armored medevacs.[65] 33 have been delivered since Dec 2019 [66] | ||
BTR-3 | Armored Personnel Carrier | BTR-3E
BTR-3DA |
<30
~50 |
An indigenous design designed in 2000, and entering production in 2001. | ||
BTR-80 | Armored Personnel Carrier | BTR-80 | ~330 | After the breakup of the Soviet Union Ukraine inherited 450 machines, but over time it sold them off mostly to UN for peacekeeping missions. So by February 2014 Ukraine had 395[67] units available. During the course of the Donbass War 99 machines were lost. The Kyiv Armored Plant continues to restore BTR-80s to service.[68] | ||
BTR-70 | Armored Personnel Carrier Armored Medevac Armoured Command Center | BTR-70 BMM-70 "Kovcheg" БТР-70ДИ-02 «Свитязь» | 215 / 480 5 2 | After the breakup of the Soviet Union Ukraine inherited 2,000 machines, but they were deemed obsolete and large quantity was simply scrapped. So by February 2014 Ukraine had only 857[67] units and none is serviceable condition. But due to the shortage of APCs in the Donbass War a decision was made in the Summer 2014 to bring them back to combat duty. 38 units were lost in combat with further 100 transferred to the National Guard to shore up their APC needs. Most vehicles, however, are still in disrepair and will need a complete overhaul to be combat ready. Ukraine also tried to modernized the BTR-70 chasse, one version of which was called the BTR-7; Another variation was an armored medevac - BMM-70 "Kovcheg" 5 of which were delivered in 2014. | ||
BTR-60[69] | Armored Personnel Carrier Armoured Command Center | BTR-60PB R-156BTR R-145BM PU-12 1V19/1V18 | 10[56] ? ? >1 ? | After the breakup of the Soviet Union Ukraine inherited 220 machines, but by February 2014 only 136[67] were on stock with the rest being either scrapped or sold of as museum items. During the Donbass War 20 units were repaired, with 15 serving in regular service and 5 with the airborne troops, but all serving in guard duty of strategic installations - being judged to be too old for frontline service. However dozens of machines were given to the Territorial defense battalions during 2014 which have then been incorporated into the national guard, and at least 50 more units were transferred to the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine to ease an acute shortage of armored vehicles. There is also an undetermined quantity of armored command vehicles in service, but either due to their state of repair or sheer quantity, more command posts were obtained in the form of the British Saxons. | ||
Kozak-2 | Armored Personnel Carrier | Kozak-2M1 | 200+[70][71] | The Kozak-2 is a 4×4 armored vehicle made by the Ukrainian defence company NPO Practika.

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Sapsan[85] | tactical ballistic missile | TBA | In development, with a range of 480 km and a maximum payload of about a 1.5 tons - although the warhead in reality will not exceed half a ton as agreed in the Intermediate Range Nuclear Forces Treaty. The development of this missile was stopped in 2013 due to the lack of funds under the Yanukovich presidency, but restarted due to the Donbass War. Since financial support from the central government is inadequate, this missile's introduction with the armed forces in 2018/19 is unlikely without significantly increased funding. | |||
Korshun-2[86] | tactical ballistic missile | TBA | In development, with a range of between 50–350 km and a payload of half a ton. This weapon system is less of a ballistic missile and more of guided missile with an extremely long range. An American equivalent would have been the BGM-109G Gryphon. This missile is in development since 2014 and will require time and money to enter service with the army. | |||
Hrim[87] | tactical ballistic missile | Hrim-2 | 1 | Range of 350 km and a payload of 480 kg. The system was first unveiled in August 2018. It is unknown whether it entered the service yet. | ||
OTR-21 Tochka | tactical ballistic missile | Scarab-B | 90[88] | Range of 120 km and a payload of half a ton. Ukraine forces possibly used a Tochka-U in Donbass War.
Multiple videos show the Ukrainian Army fired multiple Tochka missiles near Donetsk during the War in Donbass.[89][90][91][92][93] | ||
9K52 Luna-M | tactical ballistic missile | 50 | All in Storage. Range of 70 km and a payload of half a ton. Would require an overall retrofit to be activated for combat duty. | |||
