OSignificant advantages of this model were told by the author of The National Interest. The Russian side continues to improve the T-80, despite the appearance of the T-14 “Armata” model. And that makes sense. How the T-80 differs from more modern counterparts, explains the expert of The National Interest. Discuss
Although the T-80 model performed poorly in Chechnya, this tank is still undergoing modernization. According to the author, the main reason for this is the geographical position of Russia. If the T-72 and T-90 show excellent results in relatively warm weather, then at low temperatures it is precisely the T-80 that surpasses them due to the rapid warming up of the engine. In addition, in northern conditions it is most convenient for the military to move around on this tank.
