  • Favorite Tank

  • would be epic 200 of these invading the hell.

  • number 1 T90.

  • hell machine

  • That was awesome!

  • i have drove it its fucking awesome:D

  • Jeez its a Sports tank they say Red cars go faster than normal ones maybe this applies to Tanks (the tanks themselves aren't Red but they're previous commanders were)

  • Israeli military fuck this tank.

  • @ak907jk fuck you jew.

  • If they knew tanks would be knocked out, they wouldn't send them in combat without support. Aftreall, damaging tanks and repairing them after is not wise idea, it's unnecessary expense. So, that's more like bad strategy than idea (it might succeded against some other contry, but not in Cechenya - most of the cechen rebbels had good experience from Afhganistan war plus, they knew Soviet tanks performances well cause they served in the same army - Soviet army).

  • @brox114 Adding to that, France and Britain(which have higher military budgets) spends money less than 3% of their GDP and already sufficient to support their whole force. Not to mention,a high military budget is not necessary for a country which is not in a major war. Repairing is not a strategy O.o basically, I was saying that the Rus military was underestimating the enemy to send such a crappy force that would just scratch their tanks for people to wash them off later.

  • Why the fu*k Russian goverment cancelled T-80 UM2 (Black Eagle). That thank had some outstanding solutions for problems which were and still are (even on T-90) present.

    T-90 should be heavily upgraded and changed (design). Longer gun with at least 7,0 m barrel length, huge armor upgrade (NOT ERA), new POWERFUL engine (with at least 27 bhp/t power to weight ratio), ammo reposition to back of the turret with blast doors, autoloader to accept longer 125 mm rounds + faster rate of fire, electronics.

  • @brox114 The T-80UM2 is an outdated project since the 1980's. Because the tank is an upgrade from the T-80 and T-80 performed crappily in Chechenya(due to gas turbine),so..it was cancelled

    -Agree with gun

    -Its base armor is enough WC is the same as Leopard 2A6

    -that bhp/ton is impossible to accomplish

    -It already has good electronics (T-90M) with EMP discharger

    -Autoloader accepts TCHEATW rounds so its fine.Its rounds are also powerful

    -you have to revamp the whole tank to make those upgrades

  • @999cheetos999

    T-80 UM2 isn't outdated. Even today, 14 years later there's no mbt in the world which would match T-80 UM2 considering armor protection, firepower and maneuvarability (I read T-80 UM2 had approx. 50-52t , probably less, and 1500 HP engine which gives 29-30 HP/t).

    So, it's armor exceed that one on Leo 2A6 (even on Leo 2A7).

    French Leclerc has 27,5 HP/t (Wartsila V8 engine from Finland - curently the best tank engine today).

  • @999cheetos999

    ...also, many T-80's were lost in Cechenya due to very bad strategy and usage of these tanks. Using tanks to capture city with no infantry support and no helicopter support for tanks is beyond ridiculous.

    Most of destroyed T-80 received approx. 7 hits with RPG in their weakest areas (afretall, Cechen rebbels known well T-80's flaws and advantages).

    T-80 UM2 if it entered serial production, and further improvement of that tank would give significant combat effectiveness to Russia.

  • @brox114 The T-80UM2 is a PREDICTED project, it was never presented and realized.Why would people judge a tank to be good even if it never entered production and battle?I dont know

    - Its armor WAS NEVER KNOWN.They just stated it to be better than any(pretty much how they describe EVERY tank in their arsenal.They only knew it to have Kaktus and K-5 ERA

    -Gas turbines are strong but are very shitty in fuel economy and are sensitive

    -It had a mockup turret so much for firepower

    -Most is overhyped

  • @brox114 Not only was their bad strategy but they predicted that T-80's would at least reach knock out status so that they could repair them again. Plus it was not strategy,most T-80 tankers that time were new/recruits and were just strolling \=bad idea. No its also known that when it takes a hit near the front of the tracks it explodes instantly. Even if the BlackEagle reaches production, can they make enough of it?It will be an expensive tank and after the collapse Russias economy was crippled

  • @999cheetos999

    T-80 won't explode if beeing hit near the front tracks. If you hit place between turret and hull, you might blow the turret off cause of bad solution of ammo storage. Also, well placed hit on side skirts might have the same result.

    Let me put it that way - price of T-90 is ~3 mil $; T-80 UM2 ~6,5 mil $. So to produce 5000 T-80 UM2 it would cost 3,25 bln $ (minus the discount). Overall army budget is ~ 60-65 bln $, so extra 3,25 bln isn't that much (5 yrs = 650 mil $ a year).

  • @brox114 I was pertaining to the skirt near the front, because thats what the Russian military said that caused most of the losses.And you see spending like its a damn videogame. Basically,military budget is separated into AF,Navy,M. Russia spends most of its budget on the Navy then Airforce...and dont forget advancing missile technology. Russias military budget is 52 billion, and its 4.3% OF ITS GDP. It basically shows you that the Russian military is being choked.

  • @999cheetos999

    According to some experts russian miliraty budget is around 60-65 bln $. Spending isn't like an video game and I'm very familiar with that.

    Around 20% of overall Russian military budget is lost due to corruption. That's around 12 bln $ EVERY YEAR !! So, basically that's 5000 T-80UM2, latest modern equipment for all infantry and 100 Ka-52 attack helicopters (and that's just for one year loss due to corruption - not to mention for 5 or more years)

  • Where exactly do they keep these tanks in storage? A big ass warehouse in the middle of nowhere is not exactly a good spot to keep a bunch of tanks.

  • @HeildemKrieg

    @HeildemKrieg

    Not exactly what?

    Ofcoarse that reasons for failures of the T-72 go far beyond the tank itself, I do not claim otherwise, but its a fact that the export tank was rubbish in comparison to domestically operated tanks of the Soviet army.

  • How many of these does Russia actually possess? And how many T-80BV's?

  • @Brikjard 400+ T-90A's being further upgraded and thousands of T-80's (T-80U is main) exact number is unknown. The T-80's production will be stopped as Russia is experimenting on a new tank that will replace that series...

  • @HeildemKrieg yea buth the t-72 from those places were downrated and used sh*ty ammo the russian t-72 is a complete diference teh modern russian t-72 is another.

    story the modern russian t-72 is a great tank and one of the top ten

  • @HeildemKrieg the tanks aren't useless the only problem is that u need to keep aerial superiority (heavy or efective aa or lots of fighters)and the t-95 wasn't something russia needs because the t-90 is allready the superior mbt in the world(im not saying this because i love russia is just a fact )

  • @HeildemKrieg the t-90 is not an upgraded t-72 it decends from the t-72 buth is not an upgraded version of it .

    that just a popular mith maded by usa propaganda the t-90 its bether than the m1a2 in evey way,speed,mobility,relievility­,anti-infantry capabilities,at capabilities,armor,and the t-90 has shtora and atgm

  • Soviet tanks are sports cars

  • is the t-80 considered better than the t-90?

  • dear Santa

  • Russia gave this Tank to South Korea in 1994 instead of money when they had to pay us back debt. It was "then" brand new tank that Russia did not sell to anyone. It halped Korea develop panzers. It's the only Russian Tank South Korea has!!

  • Bad Company 2 =D

  • @bobenbob123 actualy in bad company 2 is t 90 tanks if thats what ur meaning...but they both look the same xD

  • @freerun4fun They still are awesome >.>

  • Good tank for it's price.

    Can't compare to M1A2 or Leopard 2A6 though.

  • T-80U, T-90, M1A2 Abrams are the best tanks! W00t!!!

  • rrussian armies know how to fight a tank battle. The west always relishes in criticising russian tank hardware but the truth is that they have very well engineered tanks indeed. and their crews are superb fighters.

    signed ex NATO rank soldier

  • LOL. South korea didnt buy any of these shit tanks. Russia gave it to korea to repay back debts cuz they didnt have the money to. Why the hell would korea want these tanks? They have no choice buy to use these as training tanks

  • t-95

    

  • The gun stabilo and suspension seems to be much better on the Leo2 than on this T-80. So much about shooting capability during progression.

    What about the reliability of the automatic loader, as mentioned in literature about older models?

  • i will be able to drive one in 2 weeks in military =D

  • I'll buy 1.

  • T-80:  1000 000 $

  • Танк классный, но за 20 лет мы ни чего нового не создали ! Все самое гениальное создавалось в Советском Союзе . T-80 c 1976-1992 было создано более 10000 штук, а T-90 c 1992 - 2010 всего 1000 . В Советском Союзе жить было безопаснее : ) !!! По мимо Т-80 были еще Т-72, Т-64, и даже модернизированные Т-55 ! T-72 было выпущено, только педставте себе 30000 штук, Т-64 1700 машин, T-55 всего, с учётом производившихся в других странах вариантов, было выпущено до 100 000 (переплюнул Т-72) !

  • i am actually going to drive this for 2 years in my military and not only that! i will have to clean it everyday... craaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaap

  • @GwThaBeSt

    Wait till you are driving it in the winter and your breath freezes to your face, the metal gets so cold you can't touch it without sticking to it and you are piss wet through, have not had a decent nights sleep in weeks, and not eaten fresh food for weeks that causes your shit to scrape your anus. Oh the joys of the army lol.

    You will make the best mates you will ever have in the army, and it will change you into a strong and confident young man.

  • Comment removed

  • Thank God we bought 400 T-80 U.D with 1200 hp,new T-84 type turret,and 53 modifications shotra-1 etc from Ukraine which outclasses T-90,Made our own 800 AL-KHALID mbt,1900-2000Al zarrar MBT,And a new 50 ton worlds most heavily armed n protected tank under development and bought 800 Yatagans.

  • @patrikasLTL

    The T80 was proven to be flawed in both Chet wars, and in the first gulf war In Basra 6 challenger tanks destroyed 80 T-72 tanks and other armored vehicles.

    Now I am not saying the T80 is a bad tank, it was just outclassed unlike the T90 which is a very formidable tank, and one I would not want to face in battle.

  • @patrikasLTL

    I googled your data and found you copied and paste of Wikipedia, which also states:

    This is of course, provided that the round strikes the ERA, which only covers 60% of the frontal aspect of the T-72 series tank mounted with it.

    T80's were shown to be inferior in both chet wars.

  • @patrikasLTL

    Having served 22 years in the British Armoured Corps (Tanks) I can reliably inform you your theory is utter crap.

    I was on ranges watching Challenger heat rounds take out these tanks . They were very old technology (updated T64) that could not compare with Challenger, Abrahams and Leopards.

    In 1993 the UK found many flaws and weak points, indeed it was very vulnerable to attack helecoptors which NATO had many.

    The T80 was never proven in war, unlike the challenger and abrahams

  • @motorvating Served 22 years at armoured divison and dont know its M1 Abrams... not Abrahams as u stated , u are just another stupid troll in age category 13-18.

  • @Vykuk123

    you poor moronic twat. A group of people who know a bit about armour, do not have to use the whole model number.

    For your info twat, it is called the M1A1 and A2 for the later model. Think before you preach you uneducated crap, you cretin.

  • @motorvating U fucking idiot a version of tank is minor detail and dont try to dodge fucker , u totally misspelled a NAME of that tank u fucking plonker Abrams x Abrahams ,u are fucking troll 13 old kid pretending to be a former tanker ,fuck u i am throwing a dogshit in your face .

  • @Vykuk123

    So you are having a childish rant over a typo error. I suggest you stop wanking and go and find a woman to release your frustrations. Looking at your profile, I can see you are a spotty little child, who knows nothing, has never done nothing, never been anywhere, and is totaly pissed about his life.

  • @Vykuk123

    Oih wanker, just checked my posts, and I did spell abrahams correctly, suggest you leave the cheap Vodka alone, because you are seeing things.

  • @motorvating Lol ABRAHAMS ?? man u are fucking pussy virgin kid maybe with a mental dissease . Fucking poser , keep dreaming about u being part of the millitary.

  • @Vykuk123

    Listen closely retard, I never said I was still in the Army, but rather I served 22 years. I am now retired from the forces and now work in civilian street. If you bothered to actually read what people say, instead of having childish rants, you would not make your self look like a twat. Every post you have made, you have made your self look a nob, because they are all contradictory.

  • @motorvating No one dont give a fuck little boy . Go lie somewhere else

  • @Vykuk123

    You have lost each and every point, and now you are spouting more shit. A real man admits there wrong and shuts up, but immature boys can't let go, that is the way of things in this world. At 22, you have been nowhere, seen nothing, done nothing and have intimate relations with madam palm. Go away boy, you embarras your fellow country men with your childish and ignorant rants.

  • @motorvating U are funny as hell , little boy try to save himself , we both know u are fucking lier hohoho . U never touched a tank maybe on some army show thats it . U suck , u lie , u are trying to twist the point against me , and most important part is u are fucking idiot with mental issues.

  • @Vykuk123

    And what would you know about tanks, fucking solomon Isands!!!! bunch of fucking jungle bunnies chucking spears at each other.

  • @Vykuk123

    Again showing your stupidity, it is not armoured division ddrrhhh, it is armoured corps. a division is made up of many types of forces.

  • GREAT !! Regards ,Anna

  • beautifull tank

  • T-80 vs M1A1 and T-90 vs M1A2

  • @Scranfield96 lol, u don't make sense.

  • Germans dominates in everything especially tanks.

  • best tank in the world!

  • thats a sexy ass tank

  • a Javelin will knock-out that Slavic sucker - nooooo prob

  • why the fuck are you talking about t-34... this is t-80u dudes

  • Russians are the tanks masters, they know how to do great machines.

    Their tanks have always been the best of the world at their period :

    T34 in 1940, T34/85 in 1943, T55 was in early 50's, T62 with its 115mm smoothbore was in 1960's, T72 but more T64 was the best tank ever in late 60's, early 70's, T80 was the most powerful machine around in late 70's, 80's, T80U is surely one of the bests tank in the world,

    ROSSIA !

  • @PATRONSKiii i think germans are the best... excluding the king tiger of course

  • @Tigergruppen88

    For pure technical aspect, yes, but history proved that number and low cost effective machines are better than small number too sophisticated machines.

    Nowadays, Russian tanks are not cheap machines as before, they are sophisticated enough, but still rough and tough for dirty war ;)

    Leo2 is a very good tank, but i prefer russians T-80U and T-90, i like M1 lates versions too, it was proven as an effective MBT, and very heavy armor

  • @PATRONSKiii also the large numbers of the T-34 was effective because of the terrain... the battle of kursk is fought on a very wide area therefore theres plenty of room to maneuver all those thousands of t-34s... if the battle was fought in a more enclosed area... i think the germans stands a better chance where not much t-34s can be fielded at once... where the t-34s advantage of superior numbers dont apply

  • @Tigergruppen88

    You should not take example of kursk, in pure tactical terms, germans totaly won this battle (destroyed thousands vehicules/canons, werheas they lost very few tanks)

    But because of their impossibility to continue the battle, russians with their huge reserve counter attacked and won.

    More over, T34 was more a target than a killer, up to the apparition of T34/85, where the balance inversed

  • @PATRONSKiii the did not lose very few tanks, they lost 2/3 that russians lost

  • I don't totally agree with the auto loader. I think a human loader is the way to go. But I do love the T-80, it's such a mean looking tank. :P

  • @russellrush101

    what is in human loader better than in automatic?

    what if the human let the ammo fall down?

  • @gazakind First of all They probably wouldn't. They way the hold it, the only was it could drop would be if the tank was hit with a round and it threw the loader to the ground. Second, While in the field, A Tank with a crew of 4 had 4 hands to maintain the tank. With the Commander gone for a field breifing or such, that still leaves 3 hands. Now with an autoloader fed tank, you would be down a man in both situations puting increased pressure on the crew who really don't need it.

  • @russellrush101

    well ^^

    humans make mistakes

    if your load is exhausted the chance to make a mistake rise by far

    a mashine do never mistakes if you programm is good..

    and due to the programm of the loading system is very very small and easy

    its quite hard for the mashine to do a mistake if its not capable do do any

  • Russian tank test are something special...

  • If I had a tank I would call it Bertha because that would be neat.

  • T80UD is also ukranian its a modified T80 WHICH RESEMBLES HEAVELY WITH T84.T80 was supplied by ukraine to pak but only mere 20 or so came to pak bcoz it was a rus tank so OUR T80UD was modified heavily with t84 ukranian tanks features.Hence it BECAME T80UD

  • misterdell2: u loser XD

  • leopard 2 destroyed the t80 and the Abrams! the best tank of the world!

  • the leopard2 destroyed a T90(S), a m1a2 abrams and a chally2 :)

  • Only in your dreams

  • no, it's proved...

    india (t90), the USA (m1a2 abrams), england (challenger2) and germany (leopard2a6) simulated a tank battle...

    the leopard2 won :)

  • I already know about a simulation

    Unfortunatly your Leo2 was ranked 4th, behind M1A2, T90 and Leclerc

  • nope, thats wrong.

    moreover the leclerc has never participated in it ;)

  • @stalingradComando

    Thats a lie, its not true.

    The Leclerc is an acceptable modern Main Battle Tank, however, for successful modern tanks, it is not even mentioned.

  • if on leopard sid stupit pilot, he destroy nothin....

  • hey russies T80 is ur design T8UD is ukranian and AGTM is used by most modern tanks like ALKHALID T80UD with sniper 1 missiles

  • @raaak1990 Ukranian is T-84

  • T80UD is also ukranian its a modified T80 WHICH RESEMBLES HEAVELY WITH T84.T80 was supplied by ukraine to pak but only mere 20 or so came to pak bcoz it was a rus tank so OUR T80UD was modified heavily with t84 ukranian tanks features.Hence it BECAME T80UD

  • i didn't know they build tinder boxes that large!

  • THIS IS NOT A SOVIET TANK

  • It is a Soviet Tank.

  • moron!!!!

  • Russian tanks will hunt down the Abrams with their ATGM capability and Tunguskas supporting tank formations will have target practise on the Apaches.

  • @vtkrey Doesn't matter.  Not one Soviet designed tank has been able to beat an Abrams.

  • @Capt777harris

    Thats because the most modern Soviet designed tanks that the Abrams faced were export T-72s.

  • @vtkrey It really doesn't matter right now, because both T80 and T90 are essentially the same design as the T72, but with more gadgets.

  • @Capt777harris

    If it doesnt matter why are you replying?

    PS. They are very different and that goes beyond some "gadgets".

  • @vtkrey Because I'm trying to educate you. It's the same chasis and same armor configuration. Against the Abrams that equals one dead tank.

  • @Capt777harris

    First of all, you dont qualify to educate me while not being able to make out the difference between a T-80 and a T-90.

    Second, they dont share the same chassis.

    Third, armour protection between the three differ greatly, a T-72M in Iraq had at best 30% of the protection a T-90A has, armour configuration has been greatly changed between the earliest T-72 to the latest T-90 variant, from basic steel to several variants of composite and reactive armour layouts.

  • @vtkrey

    Also, the optics on the T-90 are much better than most of Iraq's export T-72s and LoBs.

  • @Capt777harris

    The armour is of many different thicknesses and materials, not all T-64s, T-72s, T-80s, and T-90s have the same armour.

    Also, the automotive components are much different on the T-64sT80-s, than the T-72 and T-90.

  • @Sismiques Okay, whatever. The turret is the same design, it's the same gun, the same plating minus the reactive stuff, same treads. In other words, it's the same tank

  • @Capt777harris

    No, the plating isn't the same, as I have said the armour's materials are different.

    The T-64 originally had a 115mm, later it had the 125mm.

    The T-64 has a hydropneumatic suspension, T-72, T-80, and T-90 do not.

    The T-84 has welded turret, and the T-84-120 has be fitted with a 120mm gun.

    Just because they look similar on the outside, does not mean they are the same inside.

  • Первый в мире танк с турбинным двигателям. Красавец.

    По сравнению с Leo2 он в 4 раза дешевле, если даже не качеством то одним количеством можно взять.

  • @iistar1 шо за маскальская тактика, количеством, жизни людей ценить надо

  • Or they will lose and you can go cry in the corner.

  • I think it'll be the same as World War 2, German tanks supposedly superior, but they got owned by Soviet Tanks.

  • US soldiers can only fight poor smal countrys, children, woman and old people. All other things is to havy. I can proof my words, u////////?

  • Well, apparently everybody else cant even leave their own borders to defend themselves.

  • its a beauty PAKISTAN HAS AROUND 850 T 80 UD tanks upgraded by Kiev into T 84 UD BCOZ T 80 is originally RUSSKY

  • Fastest tank of the world

    Max speed more then 80km/h

  • Really man...fastest tank more than 80km/h??

    oh wait, you're making that up...

    T-80 speed:

    70 km/h (43 mph) (road)

    48 km/h (30 mph) (cross country)

    So it's about average.

    What shall you make up next, can it fly?!

  • You can read ?

    T -80U not T -80

    If u think that T -80U is T -80 maybe M1 is M1A2 ?

  • T-80U (Ob'yekt 219AS) has the same speed as I previously stated.

    T-80UD "Beryoza" (Ob'yekt 478B) has a slower speed than that one. 65 km/h (road) 45 (off-road)

    So your point is?

  • Beryoza it's ukranian joke with diesel engine

    T - 80U have gas turbine engine 1250hp (1400 possible)

    Weight 46 tonnes

    Speed 80km/h

    Leo2 second after T - 80U

    Weight 62 tonnes

    Engine diesel 1470hp

    Speed 70 km/h

    Gas turbine 1250 > Diesel 1500

    I hope u undestand that 62 tonnes more then 46 tonnes

  • Well I don't see any facts agreeing with that.

    T-80U

    weight: 46 tonnes

    engine: GTD-1250 turbine (1250 hp)

    power/weight ratio: 27.2 hp/tonne

    transmission: manual, 4 forward, 1 reverse

    speed: 70 km/h (road) - 48 km/h (offroad)

    If T-80U weighed 62 tonnes, it would be even slower and have weight power/weight ratio. Abrams has 1500hp gas turbine and goes a little slower than Leopard 2 by 2.3km/h

  • T -80U 27.2hp/t

    You say speed 70km/h ...ok...

    Leo2 24.1 hp/t

    Speed a bit more than 70km/h

    Amazing !!!!!! Germans trick physics

  • Except that Leopard 2 is 24.1 PS/t

    and speed is 72 km/h on road

    I'm fairly sure German "Pferdestärke" isn't exactly equal to horsepower by our standard.

  • Leo2 1470/62=24.7 hp/t

    T - 80U 1250/46=27.2 hp/t

    Simple mathematics

    Most information about russian military is propaganda...

  • And it's all ?

    I prove you that T - 80U faster than Leo2

    Again simple mathematics...

    27.2/24.7*72=79.3km/h

    But if tank not in desert GTD have + 5-10 % productivity

    And how speed now ? Oh my god it's more than 80km/h

  • simply the best

  • holly shit!very good!

  • I want to drive to work in that every day... ON THE HIGHWAY

  • T-80U is not as good as M1A2 BUT still rocks and is match for Leo2 and other western tanks

    but wait for T-95 - new top cat :DDDD

  • Yes, M1A2 is same class tank as T-90A.

    But T-95 (Object 195) will be revolution in tanks, such as Raptor in aircrafts.

  • How do you know? There is absolutely no information about the T-95. I'm sure it will be great but I just don't see how you know that.

  • On some russian forum there are military men, who know about T-95 and can told u non-secret information about T-95 :) Such as 152mm gun, which can fire both projectiles and misseles, uninhabited tower, crew armored capsule, very low profile, new generation of composite armor and reactive armor. New fire control system and active defence system.

    On their mention T-90 in compare with T-95 is same, as T-34 with T-72. Completly new generation of tank.

  • @Rur0uni86

    Reminds me of what we heard about the T-80 in the 80ies, of which alot was propaganda and proved to be incorrect later.

    I do not say everything was/is a lie, but a lot was speculation and desinformation.

    Let's see what the T-95 can do once it is displayed or seen in battle.

  • nice tank.... but i still like leo and abrams more

  • lol

  • i like t-80. i think t-80 better then t-90 .

    t-90 it's just modernisation of t-72

  • how dose russia have a such good army when there i third world country?

  • Anyone knows Russia is not a third world country, and they have low costs of manufacturing, research and maintenance. They have everything they need, the infrastructure, lots of educated people, abundance of raw materials and they pay lower wages than western countries. According to some experts, you could build a hypothetical 4 million dollar american tank in Russia for less than 1 million.

  • Not many engineers want to work in the defence industry. It pays nothing like private sector and difficult to get a passport.

    Thats why the next generation MBT T-95 is so late.

    Maintenance is a big problem also in Russia. Out of the 22000 tanks they have only 5000 are in service.

    Also it is cheaper to built stuff in Russia,, but relative to the economy just as expensive.

    The economy of Russia is way way way smaller as its western counterparts. Because GDP is calculated to PPP.

  • you sure are a bigoted dumbass

  • Totally agree with u nicazeman. On flat battle field the more advance tank own the other but on terran like jungles or moutain even a old tank like a t-50s or 60s could own M1a1.

  • Tanks are great, but only in flat terrain, practical use in mountain areas is very low.

    even most modern tanks are very vulnerable in hills, so sad for tank crews today :)

  • i love the russian war technology

  • This tank is actually faster than the M1abram!!! that's so cool....the design of this tank looks like it's very high tech.

  • It's still a low silhouette steel turret with ceramics bolted on.

    cold war style thinking impresses the public, but not the western military commanders anymore.

  • I don't really get why the Russians are still building cheap mass produced tanks. Their biggest potential enemy is the U.S and it can vastly out-produce them in sheer numbers[ plus their tanks are more advanced]. Surely,it would make more sense for Russia to develop smaller numbers of very advanced tank designs instead?

  • cheap tanks? You must be thinking that t-80 in service with Russian armored divisions are as same as those t-80s being sold to arab nations. Did the US sell the same M1A2 of their Army & Marines to Kuwait or Saudi? Would they be so stupid doing it?
