"The Uzbek modernized T-64 features a strikingly redesigned turret and hull, now fully encased in protective armor covers believed to include ceramic elements. The original Soviet-era optics and reactive armor blocks have been replaced or eliminated, while the turret’s profile has been streamlined and its rear extended to house electronics or auxiliary systems. The tank is powered by a modern South Korean Doosan DP222LC diesel engine delivering 950 horsepower, replacing the obsolete 5TDF powerplant. With this, the tank achieves a maximum speed of 65 km/h and an operational range of 500 km, driven through an automatic transmission. The armament remains the 125 mm 2A46 main gun, supported by a 7.62 mm PKT machine gun, though without the legacy NSVT heavy machine gun. "
