Fresh video footage has surfaced online showing Russian T-80U tanks from the 3rd Armored Brigade of the Republic of Korea Army.
The footage, presumably taken during exercises or demonstrations, has generated considerable interest as it demonstrates the presence and, possibly, active use of Soviet armored vehicles in the South Korean army's arsenal.
Analysts have already begun studying the technical characteristics and condition of the vehicles.
