The last batch of modernized T-80BVM tanks this year, in the amount of 26 vehicles, entered service with the 200th Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade of the North fleet, thereby completing the rearmament of the tank battalion of the compound. This was reported by the press service of the Northern Fleet.

According to the report, the received batch of 26 T-80BVM tanks was modernized at the Omsktransmash plant, which is part of Uralvagonzavod. This is the second batch of tanks upgraded to the T-80BVM level, which entered this brigade, the first came in the 2018 year. Tankers of a tank battalion that has undergone rearmament have previously undergone retraining, and will enter the new period of combat training with their own equipment.

On November 1 of this year, the Omsktransmash press service announced the shipment of a batch of modernized MBT T-80БВМ. Earlier, the Ministry of Defense reported that it had concluded a contract with UVZ in 2017 for the modernization of the 62 T-80BV tanks to the T-80BVM level with delivery to the 31 tank in 2018 and 2019.

The T-80B tank and its modifications were produced at Omsktransmash JSC from 1979 to 1991 a year. The latest modification was the T-80BV tank, adopted by the Soviet army in the 1985 year. MBT T-80BVM - a new version of the modernization of the tank, developed in Omsk.

The tank is equipped with a modified gas turbine engine with 1250 horsepower, which allows you to increase the driving performance and mobility of the machine on all terrain and develop speeds up to 70 km / h. The unique properties of the gas turbine engine give the T-80BVM an advantage when operating in low temperatures in the Far North and the Arctic.

The vehicle, which has undergone a major upgrade, is equipped with a 125mm cannon capable of firing guided missiles. rockets, a multi-channel sight, a weapon stabilizer and a driver-mechanic observation device. The tank is protected from fire by a modular dynamic protection system and an anti-cumulative lattice screen.

In Soviet times, more than 10 of thousands of T-80 tanks of various modifications were produced. Currently, 3 thousand "eighty", which are considered a strategic reserve in case of war, is located in military warehouses. The decision to de-arm part of the tanks and modernize it was taken by the Ministry of Defense in 2016.

Good news. But 62 units, as for me, do not do the weather. So I hope the contract will be increased and we will wait for a new replenishment.

[Sky strike fighter]

Well, okay.

T-80BVM is a further modernization of the T-80BVM tank - the world's first main tank with built-in anti-shell dynamic protection. It is equipped with a Sosna-U multi-channel gunner’s sight, a more advanced 125mm 2A46M-4 gun, a modified gas turbine engine and Relikt dynamic protection.

According to TASS, citing the Russian Army in Comparison reference issued by the Russian Ministry of Defense, the modernized tank was able to use ammunition with a depleted uranium core. The T-80BVM also has an improved weapon stabilizer and loading mechanism for ammunition 3BM59 “Lead-1”, 3BM60 “Lead-2”. The armor-piercing feathered sub-caliber projectile “Lead-1” has a tungsten carbide core, and “Lead-2” has a core with a uranium alloy.
"Lead-1" is capable of penetrating about 740 millimeters of uniform armor at a distance of up to two kilometers, and "Lead-2" - up to 830 mm of armor at the same distance. The alloy of depleted uranium with tungsten, which is used in ammunition, is known to specialists as material “B”.

It’s unlikely with the turbine, an expensive treat, and the diesel power has almost equaled .. They’re modernizing what is being stored, not to miss the good)))

[seti]

Expensive not expensive but in cold weather, a turbine is preferable to a diesel engine. In the Russian North there is no dust, which is also important. More expensive yes, more fuel consumption yes. But this is not critical. We need mobility, fast start-up, and long-distance mobility. This gives the T-80BVM

[loki565]

Well, so all northern all-terrain vehicles including Vityaz are diesel engines and seem to cope with the norms. Fuel consumption is greater so that he certainly will not go further. Power 1250 HP and at T 72B3 1130l.s. There will be no new ones, only modernization from storage. And where are you going to produce new ones, in Ukraine ???)))

[carstorm 11]

what does Ukraine have to do with it?))) it’s Klimov’s engines))) it was not in power but in other factors. from pick-up to basic operational readiness.

At temperatures below -25 °, they try not to turn off the diesel engine at all, since it is very difficult to start it later. In addition, a water cooling system. In northern conditions - this is still that hemorrhagic.
A gas turbine engine can be drowned out without wasting a motor cycle and, most importantly, started again with minimal training.

Engine building has little to do with the operation of engines in fact.

[Alexga]

This is a PVV system, the factory guarantees 20 such starts. The eighties may have a problem when starting at low temperatures. Turn the turbine for 40 seconds. Only the battery, there is no other.

[yustas]

What does Ukraine have to do with it? They were quite normal in Omsk

[mmrr]

And here Ukraine)) the T-80 was made in Omsk, and the T-72 in Nizhny Tagil. The T-80 was modernized in the same place in Omsk. And in Ukraine, one tank was released in ten years)) In Ukraine, during the Soviet era, a small amount of T-80UD, which was later renamed T-84.

With a fuel range of 500 km. the uncritical difference comes out on a ton per 1 car, however. In the GSVG there was once a sea of ​​"nalivniki" that could support fuel, are there many of them in the North?

In the North, they are unlikely to make 500 km marches. They cover certain territories there. I think that tanks are needed there as armored maneuvering points. It is not written whether or not the GTA-80A auxiliary power unit was installed on the T-18BVM after modernization. If yes, then that is simply wonderful, if not, then it was simply in vain that they did not do it. In the North, it would be great.

I’m not a rear manager, unfortunately, I don’t know how they calculate the provision of fuel, but when everyone has the same thing, it’s probably easier. I am not against the T-80 at all, a good car, but it’s easier for me to imagine it on the European autobahns than in the north

[Lars971a]

[quoteI am not a rear services worker, unfortunately, I do not know how they calculate the fuel supply][/quote]The main type of fuel for the T-80 is kerosene, the additional one is diesel fuel and gasoline, as well as a mixture of these types of fuel in any ratio. Also, a plus for the T-80 is that you do not need to pump out oil from the BKP; in the T-72, this is a necessary element; you need to pump out oil from the BKP, and this is a minus in the North. We can discuss this for a long time, but I will say briefly for areas with low temperatures, the T-80 is what you need and no tank can compare with it, that is for sure

200-I OMB SF

Don't think I'm a pedant, but there are generally accepted abbreviations. In this case, it should be the 200th separate motorized rifle brigade. Maybe for someone it's not important, but it's jarring to the eye and ear.
Omb is a separate medical battalion.
I immediately remember Serdyukov, who, as Minister of Defense, read the document and asked: “What does the BBC have to do with this?”
In response to him: "This is the Air Force - the Air Force."
After this incident, it was forbidden to use all abbreviations in the documents, the names only in full.
In general, this is probably an indicator of professionalism.

So with any? I apologize right away - I'm not an expert in tanks, but I lived in the extreme north for 25 years (average annual temperature minus 42), and just in shaggy ones. :) We didn’t have any diesels (there were gasoline) except for tractors, and they were not jammed all winter. The diesel fuel in the tanks froze, not to mention the fuel lines.

[Dikson]

So it wasn't arctic diesel fuel... they cheated or saved somewhere... Regular diesel fuel, yes, it easily turns into jelly in the cold...))

[Vladimir_2U]

In the previous article on this topic (in the comments) there was a flash of doubt about the resistance of the T-80 track to cold. So, the DT "Vityaz" gusli are almost all made of rubber and plastic and they still praise it!

[Dikson]

In severe frosts, elementary fingers crumble in the tracks .. or burst .. that’s the whole problem ..

The T-72 also has fingers, and Vityaz has fingers (but this is not accurate). Not an argument against RMSh in the T-80.

Jack, I'm not going to argue with you or prove anything to you.. Did you learn geography at school, no? Look at my nickname and find it on the map of the USSR. I lived, served and worked there for a VERY long time.. That's why all the talk here: about alleged icebreakers, nuclear-powered ships, radar battalions in the Arctic, air defense duty, tractors and all-terrain vehicles, the number of crew members in polar aviation and other northern things mostly makes me laugh, and at least upsets me... All the best to you.

Ok, with geography clear. The question remained - where did you get the tanks from there, which ones, and why did you break their fingers?

And so - yes, I have also seen how in the cold from an impact a rail crumbles into pieces. But this is an isolated case, not a rule. And you are writing specifically about "as a rule", no?

[Dikson]

As a rule, due to climate and road conditions, tracked vehicles dominate in the Arctic. There were no tanks there. But there were plenty of heavy tracked vehicles. And the tracks on them, as you probably know, are fastened with pins.. which tend to break in severe frost.. Not always, but such things are not uncommon, but an annoying nuisance.. I do not have the phrase "as a rule" in my comments on this topic.. And! I can write: as a rule, when driving long distances, a good driver-mechanic always has a small sledgehammer at hand.. because these damned pins tend to come out when moving well, and it is advisable to periodically return them to their place.. Otherwise, there is a possibility of dubious entertainment of digging in the snow with "bare" equipment..

[Golovan Jack]

Quote: Dikson

And the tracks on them, as you probably know, are held together by fingers .. which in severe frost tend to break ..

... but only sometimes and not all at once ...

[Dikson]

Well, at -64 ... I wouldn't turn off the diesel either..))) In any case.. If you turn it off - the condensation on the engine will grab everything that should rotate, - and, hello..

You’re telling some miracles, here’s her

[Dikson]

On the snow with a hole in the bottom - there was no door to the cellar cut there, but several small holes... - so that water from the melted snow would not accumulate in the engine compartment... This was done in tractors and all-terrain vehicles...

Clear. But I thought about tanks

Quote: Dikson

I hardly imagine snow in the engine compartment of a tank. There are no paths to get there in the snow.

[Dikson]

Snow powder is such a nasty thing that it gets into the smallest cracks, and during long transitions it is a real problem.. Here were some photos of equipment that is parked in the open at our newest bases in the Arctic.. Pantsirs, and other machines. Imagine - they are standing, standing. The winds there are almost constant.. snow penetrates everywhere. accumulates little by little. You came, warmed up the equipment. The snow melted, the water remained. Then you turned off the equipment and left. The water froze. And so many times. Then, one fine day this water (without the holes in the bottom that I wrote about) freezes, grabs your flywheels, pulleys, and other mechanics. So you do not start.. It is all very simple.

Relax. At -64 tanks do not have to start, because the enemy in this weather will not go to war, most likely
And yes, at -53 tanks and infantry fighting vehicles start up, personally verified. And also in the USSR.
