Designed by KMDB (Kharkiv Morozov Machine Building Design Bureau) in Ukraine, based on Russia's last main battle tank, the T-80UD, the T-84 Oplot-M is the newest and most sophisticated main battle tank operated currently by Ukrainian Army. Most visible features are the installation of dynamic modular armor, codenamed "Nozh 2" and the PNK-6 panoramic tank sight.

The T-84 Oplot-M is armed with a 125-mm KBA03 fully-stabilized smoothbore gun, fitted with a carousel-type autoloader. Secondary armament consists of a 12.7mm KT-12.7 series remote control heavy machine gun and a 7.62mm KT-7.62 series machine gun fitted coaxially with the main gun. Vehicle is powered by Ukrainian 6TD-2E turbocharged diesel engine, developing 1,200 hp. With its 26 hp/t power-to-weight ratio. It has inherited the nickname Flying Tank from the T-80.

In September 2011, a contract was signed for the supply of 49 customized units to the Royal Thai Army.

Again, contacted Daniel at Hobbyeasy who is a friend of the guy who started X-act Scale Model and he assured me not to worry about them., or the Oplot... According to him "They make models for fun" and they work at their own slow pace to try to get them as right as possible. Not all companies have a constant flow of new releases like the big companies so, expect a new announcement from them in the "near" future And please stop believing every rumor you hear. Hisham

That's great to hear. All the monkey business in Ukraine has gotten me very interested in the Oplot-M, I was sad when I heard the rumor of Xact folding.

A few months ago I messaged Xact on facebook and never got a reply. I even contacted Daniel at Hobbyeasy like Hisham said and they never got back to me. I pretty much just gave up on them and now I'm just praying that trumpeter comes out with one!
