Servicemen of the Eastern Military District (VVO) began training on modern simulators that simulate driving a T-80 tank. This was reported by the press service of the Ministry of Defense.
In the Khabarovsk Territory, servicemen of the district training center of the Eastern Military District, studying in the specialty "mechanic-driver", began training on modern computer simulators of T-80 tanks.
During the training, cadets learned to overcome water obstacles, navigate difficult routes with steep descents and ascents, and mastered driving a tank in a virtual space.
The simulator completely replicates the mechanic-driver's seat in the tank, and the dynamic platform increases the realism of the simulation.
The T-80 tank is the only Russian tank with a gas turbine engine. The vehicle was adopted in 1976. In the West, the tank was nicknamed "flying" for its famous acceleration to 80 km/h.
Earlier www1.ru reported that T-90M "Proryv" tanks have increased the durability of the turret armor thanks to a clever modification.
