Footage from the Yuma Proving Ground in the USA has appeared online. Apparently, the American military has received a Soviet-made T-80UD tank for study.
The combat vehicle was introduced in 1987, it is equipped with the "Nozh" active protection system and "Drozd" dynamic protection modules.
Unlike the T-80U, the "Berёza" was equipped with 6TD diesel engines with a capacity of 1000 hp. The tank is equipped with an anti-aircraft machine gun mount with remote control.
Since 1988, the tank has received built-in "Kontakt-5" dynamic protection. The T-80UD was mass-produced at the Kharkiv Transport Engineering Plant (KhZTM). The vehicle was exported, in particular, to Pakistan.
In the summer, new full-scale footage of a mock-up of the Russian Pantsir-S1 anti-aircraft missile and gun system (ZRPK) also circulated online. Military experts concluded that the system is designed to practice the actions of F-16 fighter pilots.
Earlier www1.ru reported that the manufacturer of T-90M "Proryv" tanks introduced a four-day work week for some employees.
