## [General information](/md/rv/vehicles/object-478bem-1.md#general-information)

Description
: The **Object 478BEM-1** is a main battle tank and an experimental variant of the Ukrainian [T-84](/md/rv/vehicles/t-84.md) series. The [T-84](/md/rv/vehicles/t-84.md) lineage derives from the Soviet T-80UD and has been offered for export since the 2000s. Weighing 48 tonnes with a three-man crew, it is powered by a **KMDB 6TD-2** two-stroke diesel producing 1,200 hp (25 hp/t) and reaches 70 km/h forward and 31 km/h in reverse with neutral steering.
Main armament is the **125 mm KBA-3** smoothbore with a 6-second autoloader cycle, firing APFSDS, HEAT, HE-Frag, and **KOMBAT** ATGMs; a coaxial **7.62mm PKT** and commander’s **12.7mm NSVT** are fitted. The vehicle has a laser warning system, stabilizer, smoke grenades, and engine smoke. The gunner has a laser rangefinder, FCS with lead, and second-generation thermals; the commander has a CITV with thermals and FCS. The vehicle is also equipped with the **Drozd APS** mounted on the turret cheeks (4 launchers, 2 charges each), providing increased protection against ATGMs and CE munitions in the direction the turret is facing.
