T-84 | | Ukraine | Main Battle Tank | T-84BM T-84U |
0 (+50)[9] 10[10] | 10 T-84U's acquired before 2014. 5 T-84T's were produced in 2014, 40 to be produced in 2015 and 120 more to be produced in 2016.[9] The T-84T is a version of the T-84BM "Oplot" with French optics and German communication equipment installed; it is design for export to fulfill the contract signed with Thailand. Ukraine exported the 5 tanks from 2014 and has also delivered the first 5 out of 40 for 2015.[11] In total Thailand order 49 tanks with an option for 150 more. Ukraine plans to acquire 50 of its own T-84BMs before 2018, but not until the contract with Thailand is honored. |
T-80 | Ukrainian SSR Ukraine | Main Battle Tank | T-80BV T-80UD | 13 154 | In 2015 when the state began a complete overhaul of these vehicles to make them combat ready by the end of 2015.[12] According to Yurii Birukov all rebuilt tanks will be used by airmobile brigades.[13] First 8 rebuilt units transferred on 15-7-15, then 5 more on 22-8-15. | |
T-72 | | Russian SFSR Ukraine | Main Battle Tank | T-72UA1 T-72B1 T-72M1 | 8-12 ~400 ~600 | Around 700+ T-72s were sold to third countries in the period 1992-2014. All Ukrainian vehicles were stored as they were manufactured in Russia and parts were not available. |
T-64 | | Ukrainian SSR Ukraine | Main Battle Tank | T-64BM "Bulat" T-64BV T-64B | ~120 [14] 550~ 1,000 | Only T-64BV and T-64BM are in use with T-64B stored as reserve. 12-14 vehicles upgraded to Bulat standard annually since 2007 with the cost of an upgrade around $600,000 per vehicle. 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.[15] About 100 of T-64 were sold to third countries in the period 1992-2014 mostly in the form of spare parts. 10 more units received 10 BMs on August 18. |
Infantry fighting vehicles
Model | Image | Origin | Type | Variant | Number | Details |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
BMP-64 | Ukraine | Infantry fighting vehicle | 1 | Indigenous design derived from a modified T-64 chassis. Only one prototype in existence. Development has been resumed to prepare the design for future mass production.[16] | ||
BMP-3 | Russian SFSR | Infantry fighting vehicle | 4 | Not used, as they were manufactured in Russia and parts are not available, also there are too few machines to create a meaningful unit. | ||
BMP-2 | Russian SFSR | Infantry fighting vehicle | 1,198 | At the beginning of 2014 Ukraine had 1,434 units but by March 5, 2015, 236 machines of all variants were lost due to the Donbass War. | ||

Armored Personnel Carriers
Model | Image | Origin | Type | Variant | Number | Details |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
BTR-4 | | Ukraine | Armored Personnel Carrier Armored Medevac | BTR-4E "Butsefal" BMM-4S | ~160[18] +12 | Used extensively in the Siege of Sloviansk. Unit cost $1,500,000. Used mostly if not exclusively by the Airborne Forces. Several lost in combat. |
BTR-3M2 | Ukraine | Mortar Armored Personnel Carrier | 3 | Two vehicles of BTR-3M2 being made on the basis of BTR-3E1 are ready for the Ukrainian Armed Forces said Ukroboronprom.[19] | ||
BTR-80 | Russian SFSR Ukraine | 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[20] units available. During the course of the Donbass War close to 100 machines were lost but Ukraine is capable of producing a small quantity of BTR-80s at Kharkiv and at least 50 machines were built to soften the attrition rate. | |
BTR-70 | | Russian SFSR Ukraine | Armored Personnel Carrier Armored Medevac | BTR-70 BMM-70 "Kovcheg" | ~200/700 5 | 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[20] units and none is serviceable condition. But due to the shortage of APCs in the Donbass War a decision was made in the summer of 2014 to bring them back to combat duty. About 50 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; but it was deemed to expensive for the performance which was still inferior to BTR-3 and BTR-4, so it hasn't been mass-produced and none are active with the army today. Another variation was an armored medevac - BMM-70 "Kovcheg" 5 of which were delivered in 2014. |
BTR-60 | | Russian SFSR Russian SFSR | Armored Personnel Carrier Armoured Command Center | BTR-60PB P-145BM PU-12 | 20 ? >1 | After the breakup of the Soviet Union Ukraine inherited 220 machines, but by February 2014 only 136[20] 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 to old for frontline service. However dozens of machines were given to the Territorial defense battalion 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 shear quantity, more command post were obtained in the form of the British Saxons. |
KrAZ Shrek | Canada / Ukraine | Armored Personnel Carrier | Shrek One | 2 | 2 Transferred to the 79th airborne brigade on 10 September 2014, other vehicles begun to be received by the National Guard of Ukraine but some have mistakenly reported them being transferred to the army. | |

Artillery
Model | Image | Origin | Type | Variant | Number | Details |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Sapsan[26] | Ukraine | tactical ballistic missile | 0 | 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. Still the financial support from the central government is inadequate thus this missile's introduction with the armed forces in 2018/19 is HIGHLY unlikely unless the funding is increased many fold. | ||
Korshun-2[27] | Ukraine | tactical ballistic missile | 0 | 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 BGM-109G Gryphon. This missile is in development since 2014 and will require time and money to enter service with the army. | ||
Grom-2[28] | Ukraine | tactical ballistic missile | 0 | In development, with a range of about 300 km and a payload of 480 kg. This missile is much further in its development phase than the Saspan, however without financial support from the central government, this missile's introduction with the armed forces in 2016/17 is unlikely. According to the temporary acting chairman of the State Space Agency of Ukraine Oleksandr Golub, the 2015 army budget will have the needed finances for this weapon system, however persistent financial problems in the Yuzhmash state corporation indicate that no such contract has yet been made nor has the money been allocated for this project. | ||
