This was reported by Military Watch Magazine. The publication noted that the T-80 gas turbine engine provides a serious advantage in maneuverability both over other classes of Russian tanks and over all Western tanks. As indicated in the publication, tanks from NATO countries, in particular German Leopards, have demonstrated their unsuitability in harsh weather conditions in the NWO zone, since they sink in the mud. The authors emphasized that although the Leopard 1 tank had long been considered obsolete, modern Leopard 2 tanks, available in smaller numbers, also suffered heavy losses and experienced serious difficulties with the local terrain. It is clarified that only the American M1 Abrams tank also has a gas turbine engine, but this vehicle has much less power than the Russian T-80. As Regnum reported, on January 4 it became known that units of the Russian Armed Forces in the Zaporozhye direction received modernized T-80BVM tanks for the first time. According to one of the commanders of a tank unit of the Russian Armed Forces, the tank has a number of new and improved characteristics that make it very effective on the battlefield. He also noted that additional armor protection modules are installed on the tank, which can withstand hits from FPV drones, RPGs and ATGMs. In addition, the advantages of the new tank over others, such as the Leopard, are its reliability and maneuverability. Military personnel of the Western Military District spoke about the advantages and operation of the T-80BV “flying” tanks, which have proven themselves to be excellent during a special military operation. The car drives fast and is called a “flying” tank due to its engine, because its power is more than 1 thousand cubic meters. The first version of the T-80 was mass-produced in the USSR from 1976 to 1978. They were equipped with tank units in Eastern Europe. The main distinguishing feature of combat vehicles of this family is the presence of a gas turbine engine. The car could move on the highway at a speed of 80 km/h. It is for this difference that the tank received the nickname “flying”. |
