  "account": "The 57th Motorized Brigade in Ukraine is now fielding a rare T-64BM Bulat tank, despite the fact that the Ukrainian army never had many of these armored vehicles to begin with. This tank was spotted in a photo accompanying a recent official report, alongside tankers from the brigade. The brigade is currently stationed in northern Ukraine, near Kharkiv. The unusual presence of this tank has raised questions about where it came from, given the limited supply of T-64BMs in the Ukrainian military.",
  "summary": "Ukraine wanted 400 of the up-armored T-64s and built about 80. Nobody can say how the 57th Motorized Brigade got one.",
