UK will produce the tracks and drive sprockets for MT-LB, BMP, and T 72 of ZSU.

Cook Defence received an urgent request from the Ministry of Defence to provide tracks to support the Ukrainian fleet of Soviet-era vehicles and turned to the Museum for support.

Using incomplete Soviet-era drawings, specimen track links from Ukraine, then the inspection of vehicles, manuals and the loan of track specimens from the Tank Museum, Cook reverse-engineered the tracks and drive sprockets for MTLB, BMP, and T72 vehicles.

Tank Museum curator David Willey said: "The Tank Museum’s collections are used for many purposes. When we can help industry and our allies, of course we should. We are very pleased to hear the reproduced track is now arriving in Ukraine."

Major challenges to the project included the development of new steel alloys to match the original Russian specifications, and re-designing forged and welded components as castings to suit the new manufacturing process.

Cook Defence Systems can trace its history as the manufacturer of tracks for British armoured fighting vehicles back to 1941. They develop and make a range of tracks in the UK, including the track for the Challenger 2 tank.

Only one question - Why are they asking the Museum, instead of asking Ukraine⁉️ Ukraine can give them every detail about their vehicles tracks and sprockets.

The reason….the air defense is needed elsewhere!

#Ukraine: Interesting- It seems that the 🇨🇳 #Chinese Norinco CS/LM3 HMG in 12.7x99mm caliber is in the service of the 🇺🇦 #Ukrainian army.

The Norinco CS/LM3 HMG in 12.7x99mm caliber is an export version of the Chinese W85 12.7x108mm HMG.
