Seoul may delay the decommissioning of the Russian T-80U

Seoul may review plans to decommission Russian tanks T-80U, despite problems with their compatibility with other equipment in the South Korean arsenal, reports RIA News Post South Korean parliamentarian Lee Jong Hol.

Seoul may delay the decommissioning of the Russian T-80U


T-80U tanks and BMP-3 armored vehicles were delivered to the Republic of Korea in 1995 and 2002 in payment of the USSR government debt. Previously it was assumed that the South Korean army would gradually abandon the use of this technology in the period from 2018 to 2022 year.

However, the implementation of this plan may be postponed indefinitely due to the lack of an alternative to date.

The fact that the T-80U tanks or the BMP-3 armored vehicles confirmed their outstanding abilities in battle is a fact; but if we take into account the difficulties arising from the use due to the lack of spare parts, it is necessary to urgently prepare a plan that will determine whether the purchase of spare parts for military complexes is necessary on the terms of a military agreement with Russia or the position on the prompt replacement of weapons should be supported,
said Lee Jong Gol.

In addition to problems with the compatibility of Russian cars with other equipment, which is in service, Lee Jong-Gol noted the difficulties in repairing T-80U by Korean specialists and the lack of components for replacement in case of malfunctions. In addition, he said, “the stock of shells for the T-80U may not be sufficient in the event of an emergency.”

Earlier it was reported that at the beginning of 2017, in the South Korean army there were about 35-t tanks T-80U and about 70-ti BMP-3.

          I remember when a news appeared on the site about the possibility of redeeming these tanks, they immediately, who is to the North, who has already deployed a battalion somewhere ... But they lack shells and spare parts due to the alleged resale of the RF back. Now, perhaps something will be paid to Rosoboronexport. Such is their neighbor.
          Maybe they wave the T-90? In my opinion, it's time to offer.

              Well, like Russia wanted to return the T-80.
              “The decision to return the T-80 and BMP-3 tanks was made back in 2015. An assessment of the condition of these machines has now been completed and a document with our proposal has been prepared. It was transferred to one of the working groups as part of the visit of the President of South Korea to Russia on September 3. Russia does not count on a purchase, but on a mutually beneficial barter exchange for both countries, ”a source in military-diplomatic circles told the Izvestia newspaper.

                    With money, then they may not have problems. They have problems with tanks. As I understand it, K1 has been discontinued, and there is not much Korean there. And K2 turned out to be the most expensive tank in the world at a price of over $ 9 million apiece in the domestic market. Korea cannot produce them in hundreds; the last contract involved the production of 55 cars from 2014 to 2017. At this rate of production, in the conditions of a “crisis in relations with North Korea,” one must not withdraw suitable vehicles from the army, but look for where to buy more. And certainly "to landfills as targets. The rest to museums" - this, I'm sorry, is complete idiocy. Not all gaps in defense can be plugged with decommissioned Shtatov scrap metal.

          Egypt also does not produce 120mm shells for tank guns. Maybe he should use Abrams as targets? For these purposes, the Russian Federation can sell it for cheap Metisov-Kornetov and something else.

                    However, the implementation of this plan may be postponed indefinitely due to the lack of an alternative to date.
                    They can. The only delay is that they cannot find alternatives to the T-80.

My shore is high, the one is 3-4 meters lower, the river is 8 meters wide, I guess. If you accelerate properly, it would seem, what is the problem? And the problem was that that shore was a swamp, which was not on the map and was not visible visually. And the APC sat down tight. Yes, even with such overclocking! laughing The idiocy of the situation was that after 100 meters there was a normal exit and a pontoon lay, but there was a turn to it - a reconnaissance company on infantry fighting vehicles and armored personnel carriers, I just did not want to wait.

    Choto is there with a "very black panther," South Koreans are darkening. If rearmament, then some part of the 80s can be used for spare parts, but they want spare parts - it’s not a matter of rearmament, but what? Apparently the "black panther" still can not jump over the T-80, and something or somewhere stalled with them. Probably the problems with the Black Panther are quite serious if there was an idea to buy spare parts for the T-80 - there is nothing to replace even a small amount of T-80, and the Panther is losing the T-80 at this stage. I think so.

Aren't you embarrassed that a Korean tank "for its own" costs three times more than a Russian tank on the foreign market?
