/.../on the machine-building enterprise Kaluga Engine (Kaluga) has resumed full-scale production of gas turbine engines GTD-1250 for the T-80BVM main battle tank.

/.../

   In the fall of 2023, for the first time in many years, the possibility of fully launching the production of tanks at Omsktransmash “from scratch” began to be considered (currently old hulls from storage bases are used, which are turned into full-fledged modern tanks - see the material https://tehnoomsk.ru/archives/9476 ). Now, with the full-scale launch of the GTD-1250 series to equip the T-80BVM, only one task remains unresolved - assembling tank hulls in Omsk. If this happens, the Omsk Tank Plant will regain its status as the second full-fledged tank production company after Nizhny Tagil.

 

   At the same time, Omsktransmash is part of Uralvagonzavod, and such a situation entails a certain competition within one structure. If the Omsk plant were separated from the assets of UVZ and subordinated directly to Rostec (currently UVZ is part of the Rostec State Corporation, and Omsktransmash is part of UVZ), then this could benefit the entire tank building industry. Today in Russian tank building there is no competitive component between design bureaus, and there has been many years of stagnation in the development of new tanks.
