In 1992 Ukraine had 487 units in perfect working condition, but due to the economic hardship of the mid 1990s and the political shortsightedness, Ukraine sold 320 units to Pakistan for $650 million. All vehicles sold were transferred between 1997-1999 with the remaining units numbering 167. In 2004 these tanks would be placed into storage but because of the Donbass War, in 2015 the state decided to bring them back for frontline service with a complete overhaul of these vehicles.[15] According to Yurii Birukov all rebuilt tanks will be used by airmobile brigades.[16]

Ukraine inherited 1,044[17][18] tanks from the Soviet Union but because the manufacturing plant - Uralvagonzavod - was now in Russia, Ukraine decided to sell its T-72 while maintaining its domestically produced stock of T-64 instead. 863[19] T-72s were sold to third countries in the period 1992-2015 - Ethiopia 200[20][21] units, Sudan 130[22] unit, Kenya 110[23] units, South Sudan 101[24][25] units, DRC 100[26] units, Georgia 74 units, Myanmar 50[27] units, Macedonia 31[28] units, Algeria 27[29] units, Azerbaijan 25[30] units, and Nigeria 14[19] units. Until 2015 all Ukrainian vehicles were stored but severe tank losses in the Donbass War and the inability of the Ukrainian arms industry to restore T-64 tanks fast enough forced the army to reactivate as many units as could be repaired with improvised parts produced at the Lviv tank repair plant. Only 72 tanks are active with 70 being the restored T-72AV, one T-72UA1 which is the newest Ukrainian upgrade of this tank, and a single Russian T-72B1 which was captured at the battle of Debaltseve. In 2018 the Army announced that it will receive 72 T-72UA1, it is unknown however whether these will be the currently active T-72s which will be upgraded or the further 110 inoperational units which will be brought out of storage.

Only T-64BV and T-64BM are in use with T-64B stored as reserve. 80-100 vehicles upgraded to Bulat standard annually since 2007 with the cost of an upgrade around $600,000 per vehicle. Ukraine begun 2014 with 83 BMs' and 700 BVs', but since the beginning of the Donbass War, at least 170 T-64 variants were destroyed in combat and 65 captured by opposing forces.[32] In 2013-2014 Ukraine sold 50 tanks to Congo. It was the first ever official export sale of this tank.[33]

After the breakup of the Soviet Union Ukraine inherited 2,000 machines, but they were deemed obsolete and large quantity was simply scrapped. So by February 2014 Ukraine had only 857[14] units and none is serviceable condition. But due to the shortage of APCs in the Donbass War a decision was made in the summer of 2014 to bring them back to combat duty. 38 units were lost in combat with further 100 transferred to the National Guard to shore up their APC needs. Most vehicles, however, are still in disrepair and will need a complete overhaul to be combat ready. Ukraine also tried to modernized the BTR-70 chasse, one version of which was called the BTR-7; but it was deemed too expensive for the performance which was still inferior to BTR-3 and BTR-4, so it hasn't been mass-produced and none are active with the army today. Another variation was an armored medevac - BMM-70 "Kovcheg" 5 of which were delivered in 2014.

After the breakup of the Soviet Union Ukraine inherited 220 machines, but by February 2014 only 136[14] were on stock with the rest being either scrapped or sold of as museum items. During the Donbass War 20 units were repaired, with 15 serving in regular service and 5 with the airborne troops, but all serving in guard duty of strategic installations - being judged to be too old for frontline service. However dozens of machines were given to the Territorial defense battalions during 2014 which have then been incorporated into the national guard, and at least 50 more units were transferred to the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine to ease an acute shortage of armored vehicles. There is also an undetermined quantity of armored command vehicles in service, but either due to their state of repair or sheer quantity, more command posts were obtained in the form of the British Saxons.

Sapsan[52] Ukrainetactical ballistic missileTBAIn development, with a range of 480 km and a maximum payload of about a 1.5 tons - although the warhead in reality will not exceed half a ton as agreed in the Intermediate Range Nuclear Forces Treaty. The development of this missile was stopped in 2013 due to the lack of funds under the Yanukovich presidency, but restarted due to the Donbass War. Since financial support from the central government is inadequate, this missile's introduction with the armed forces in 2018/19 is unlikely without significantly increased funding, however it will be expected to make its debut in the 2018 Kiev Independence Day Parade.
Korshun-2[53] Ukrainetactical ballistic missileTBAIn development, with a range of between 50–350 km and a payload of half a ton. This weapon system is less of a ballistic missile and more of guided missile with an extremely long range. An American equivalent would have been the BGM-109G Gryphon. This missile is in development since 2014 and will require time and money to enter service with the army.
Hrim[54] Ukrainetactical ballistic missileHrim-21Range of 350 km and a payload of 480 kg. The system was first unveiled in August 2018. It is unknown whether it entered the service yet.
OTR-21 Tochka Soviet Uniontactical ballistic missileScarab-B90[55]Range of 120 km and a payload of half a ton. Ukraine forces possibly used a Tochka-U in Donbass War.
