Apparently it performed terribly during the Chechen wars.

Definitely one of the best tanks in the world today! Great video.

T-80Us 1A46 fire control system can engage and 100% hit a stationary target at 5000m (up to 5 targets IIRC) not only with 9M119 Refleks ATGM but also with 3BM46 HVAPFSDS 125mm rounds. Only the French L'Eclerc is better in this department with up to 7 targets engaged at 5000m. Although almost 20 years older, I see the T-80 superior to the T-90.

I recall that it has a 100% hit rate on a stationary target at the range of 1,700m while tank is moving over rough terrain, I dont know anything for longer ranges, as for guided projectiles, I know hit rates are very high, 80% at 5km if I remember correctly.

hi, does anyone know the effectiveness of the 1A33 fire control system on the T-80B pse? e.g., i've read an M60A3 has a 45% first round hit probability against a stationary target 3000m away. how does T-80B compare?

[MasterBattle2000]

it must be a painful experience being in that tank when it lands after catching some air

Not mine standard, but only suggestion. I wish I could have some influence on modernising Russian army and making it the most powerful and most advanced in the world, but I don't.
