The Russian main battle tank T-80 will receive a new gas turbine engine. This was announced by the Deputy Head of the Main Armored Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, Major General Sergei Shaleny.
According to him, the new power plant will avoid a decrease in mobility, which could occur due to an increase in weight against the background of the modernization of the vehicle.
In the near future, an engine that has no analogues in the world will be installed on our tanks.
The T-80 is the only Russian tank with a gas turbine engine. The vehicle was adopted in 1976. In the West, the tank was nicknamed the "flying" tank for its famous acceleration to 80 km/h.
Earlier www1.ru reported that the Russian Aerospace Forces will receive a new version of the Su-57 fighter in 2025.
