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.

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.

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.

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.

Artillery

ModelImageOriginTypeVariantNumberDetails
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.

1АР1 "Положение-2"  Ukraine Artillery Locating Mobile Radar 1 Uses sound ranging rather than radar waves to determine the source of fire. Single demonstration model built, mass production yet to take place.[50]
1L220u  Ukrainian SSR Artillery Locating Mobile Radar ? Capable of detecting sources of artillery up to 60 km away. Quantity unknown serviceability doubtful.
ARK-1  Soviet Union Artillery Locating Mobile Radar +1 Quantity unknown one was spotted in Spring 2015.[51]
SNAR-10  Soviet Union Artillery Locating Mobile Radar ? Quantity unknown, last operational unit was spotted in 2004.
MR-1  Ukraine UHF/VHF band differentiation Mobile Radar Stand alone unit 0(+?) The newest indigenous Ukrainian design presented in February 2014.[52] But its debut was rushed with debugging expected to take the whole of 2015 and mass production not to start till 2016. It is designed to complement the standard Acquisition Radars to increase the time of detection.
Kolchuga  Ukraine Passive Sensor Mobile Radar 19 (2009) First indigenous Ukrainian design in production since 2001, however the development for which started in 1987.[53] According to Inter TV one unit stationed near Sevastopol fell into the hands of the Russian military during the Crimean Crisis, thus the system was compromised.
