Russian military began receiving the first tanks of the T-80U-M1 "Bars" modification. The combat vehicle is notable for its built-in "Relikt" reactive armor on the upper frontal part and massive side screens, reported "Voenny Osvedomitel".
For mobility, the tank was presumably equipped with a GTD-1250G gas turbine engine with a hydrostatic transmission. Instead of levers, the driver received a steering column. The Plisa thermal imaging sight is responsible for firing.
