So, as client, you take your old T-54/55s and have the turret taken off and the chassis made into a HIFV. Then you have the T-55 turret re-used on a purchased T-64 chassis (T-55-64 hybrid). You might rearm that turret with a 120 or 125 smoothbore cannon and an autoloader in the turret rear, rather than below the turret, plus modern gunstabilization, turret and gun drives, sights and firecontrol systems. Now, what do you [as remanufacturer] do with the T-64 turrets that remain left over?

Maybe fit 105 mm cannons (or keep the 125 mm) to the turrets and integrate them to wheeled armoured vehicles?
