"Burlak" research and development program.
The GABTU of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation announced a competition for R&D under the codename "Burlak". FSUE "UKBTM" from Lower Tagil and FSUE "KBTM" from Omsk took part in the competition. Omsk "Design Bureau of Transport Engineering" won the competition. There were several factors that influenced the determination of the winning Design Bureau. Omsk offered a far lower price for R&D, the overall price for the entire program was severely underestimated and subsequently, the cost of performing R&D drastically increased. In addition to the offered cost of R&D, Omsk already had experience with creating a similar program in the late 90s. That being the Object 640 "Black Eagle".
The main idea of the new UFC for tanks such as T-72/90 was as follows. The mechanized conveyor of the autoloader would house 22 rounds. The additional ammo would be placed in non-mechanized ammunition racks in the hull and turret great. The mechanized autoloader would be manually replenished by the crew.
Omsk Design Bureau proposed an idea that would increase the combat effectiveness of the T-72, T-80, and T-90 tanks that would carry a new UFC. The solution included the addition of a second turret-mounted autoloader. This would have allowed the vehicle to retain its standard carousel-style autoloader in the hull while also utilizing the new turret-mounted autoloader.
From that point onwards, the new UFC implemented the concept of a 'double-flow autoloader'. For its implementation in the rear of the turret, it was envisaged to install an armoured removable "transport-loading container" (TLC) with an automatic loading mechanism. This removable TLC had various capacities: 16 rounds, 22 rounds and 32 rounds. Overall the total ammunition count would range from 38 rounds or more. The use of a removable armoured TLC with an automatic loading mechanism made it possible to expand the range of ammunition and use modern ammunition of increased power (increased length).
Another advantage of the TLC scheme was the separate placement of part of the ammunition from the crew, which improved the safety of the crew and the tank as a whole.
Distinctive features of a tank with UFC for R&D "Burlak":
It is known that within the framework of the Burlak R&D project a prototype of the "Ya-02" tank was manufactured - a modernized T-72B tank. Despite this, at the beginning of 2010, at a press briefing, Chief of Armaments of the RF Armed Forces, General V.A. announced that the R&D program "Burlak" was closed at the end of 2009.

Distinctive features of a tank with UFC for R&D "Burlak":
- Modular armour with removable protective modules, which are a combination of dynamic and "passive" protection
- Fastening the modular protection to the turret with bolts
- Increased to 2.5 sq. m. the internal volume of the turret (the existing T-90 tanks have an internal volume of the turret of 1.85 sq. m, and the T-80 tanks - 1.93 sq. m.) due to which it is possible to place a complex of onboard equipment that meets the modern requirements handling and ergonomics
- The turret is made with the possibility of installing a removable armoured TLC complex with an automatic loading mechanism
- The entire ammunition load of the tank is in two mechanized stowages: one stowage in the TLC with an autoloader complex, the other in a conveyor located at the bottom of the tank
- The possibility of using modern shots of increased power (increased length) in the TLC compartment.
