List of armoured fighting vehicles of Ukraine

This is a list of armoured fighting vehicles originating in Ukraine, including the Ukrainian SSR.

Ukraine's main tank factory is the Malyshev Factory, established 1895 as the Kharkiv Locomotive Factory, KhPZ. It started building tractors in 1923, and had the Morozov Design Bureau (KMDB) for tanks added in 1928. It was evacuated to Nizhny Tagil, Russia, from 1941 to 1944/45 during the Second World War.

Important tank refurbishing and repair plants include the Kyiv Armoured Plant (KBTZ, established 1935), Zhytomyr Armoured Plant (ZhBTZ, 1943), Lviv Armoured Plant (LBTZ, 1944), Mykolaiv Armored Plant (MBTZ, 1948), Kharkiv Armoured Plant (KhBTZ, 1996). The Mikrotek Basic Centre for Critical Technologies in Kyiv develops reactive and active armour systems since 1994.

Figures are dates and numbers built in Ukraine, except where noted.
