Russian tanks T-80BVM will be modernized

Russian Tanks T-80BVM will undergo modernization, work on improving the tanks is planned to begin in the near future. This was reported by the press service of Uralvagonzavod.

According to the report, UVZ plans to continue work on the modernization of T-80BVM tanks, the main emphasis will be on increasing firepower, increasing security, mobility and command control. Work should begin shortly.

Earlier, plans to modernize T-80BVM tanks were reported at the Research Testing Institute of Armored Weapons and Equipment (NII BTVT) of the Russian Ministry of Defense. The 38th Research Institute has prepared a number of materials on the modernization of the T-72B3, T-90M and T-80BVM tanks.

With regard to the T-80BVM, it was reported that as part of the modernization, it is planned to install the Arena-M active protection complex, additional dynamic protection units along the sides, and also replace the Kontakt-5 dynamic protection with Relikt. In addition, it is proposed to install the Lesochek electronic warfare system on the tanks, which suppresses the radio control channels of mines and improvised explosive devices. It is also proposed to install an electromagnetic protection system and an autonomous fire protection system of multiple action on the tanks.

It is not known what UVZ will take from this list, it is possible that the company has developed its own version of the modernization of tanks. At the moment, the project has not been disclosed.

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.

Russian tanks T-80BVM will be modernized

They just went through modernization and began to enter the troops! Maybe they will be up to the level of the T-90M.

[voyaka uh]

Now after the number 80 there are already THREE letters: BVM.
Does the fourth letter appear?
Or it is easier to number the upgrades with numbers: 1,2,3,4, ... 10
For example: Tank T-80/5. 5 - fifth upgrade.

[tralflot1832]

We somehow got used to the letters, we have our own way even in the numbering of the series.

[frei67]

and how many letters does the last abrasha have?

[donavi49]

Well, there is still a bit of M1A2SEP3

but the Germans just have Leopard 2A7 +

[NDR-791]

Well, I still have a little bit

Yes, there is still plenty of room for bukaf on board

and the directions of modernization will strike with hyphens and slashes? even more leapfrog will turn out

[URAL72]

If you number this upgrade as T-80-II, many on this forum will start hysterical, and some will have a heart. We have sunk, we are buying Chinese junk !!!

[Taltec]

Of course it's easier, but let the enemy get confused.

[Graz]

Isn't these tanks weak towers with a sand filler?
then it may be easier to either change the tower or remake the tower

[tralflot1832]

Is it weak? Upgraded 80 ki get a new tower and no worse than 90 ki.

[carstorm 11]

How long have ceramics been called sand?)))

[Togilen]

there is no pottery. There steel - PPU - steel

[carstorm 11]

On BV? Are you kidding?

[Togilen]

quite serious. WLD is just that

[carstorm 11]

We're talking about the tower)

[Togilen]

Oh, I'm sorry. There, in fact, you need to upgrade all U and UD in the first place. In Bui UD, not everything has been cut yet, but there is a tower of electroslag remelting, more durable than Omsk or Leningradskaya + closed ZPU. Put the relic on 80U in Kantemirovka and lyapota.

[Cruorvult]

KAZ went into series, that's good.

[APASUS]

Maybe a panoramic sight will appear?

[PROXOR]

Exactly. He appeared on 90M, but here it is still not possible.

[Nag1984]

The commander's panoramic sight with a third-generation thermal imaging matrix and KAZ is what he lacks, and there will be an almost perfect machine.

[Sergey Obraztsov]

Are T80 BVM tanks good? Well, good ones. At the level of the same t72b3, there are no questions. There are questions to the eternal misfortune of the armies of the USSR and the Russian Federation, namely UNIFICATION. I really want to ask the Ministry of Defense - Why, when the T72, T90 tanks were in service a few years ago, in the future Armata, instead of decommissioning all the T80s, which are very different from the same T72s, drove them across half the country for modernization. Can you imagine what kind of star this whole zoo will provide to logistics and repairmen in case of war?

[Old tanker]

Because the T-80 is superior in performance, especially in winter conditions, T-72/90. More maintainable, as it has a block version of the units. Even the track roller on the T-80 is changed by hanging on a special crutch (any hanging option that allows a flight of fancy if there is no crutch) and unscrewing the nuts, like on a simple car. On the T-72/90, only pressing out with the help of special devices. Because the armor is more perfect than on the T-72 and is second only to the T-90 with a welded turret.
Well, in terms of travel dynamics, controllability (and therefore fatigue of the mechanical drive), it is far ahead of the T-72/90 tractor.

[bayard]

Since Soviet times, we have from 3 to 5 thousand T-80s of various modifications in storage bases with almost zero mileage and unused resource. Is this wealth for us to be scrapped and melted down?
What if tomorrow is a war and it will be necessary to quickly make up for the losses and arm the mobilized formations?
The T-80 is good for northern latitudes - it is much easier to start in the cold, it has the best suspension and suspension of all its classmates (T-72, T-64) and it is the fastest of them.
And he had the most modern MSA, which was later installed on the first version of the T-90.
Modernization costs several times cheaper than building a new tank, and the emerging tank repair capacities and experience in repair / modernization will allow, if necessary, to quickly remove tanks from storage and, after repair and modernization, put them into operation.
It won't work with "Armata".
And even the T-90 is too expensive to rely only on it.
And in terms of logistics, they will not add any difficulties - T-80BVM go to the far north and DV, T-72B3 \ 3M and T-90SM - to all other connections.

And in terms of unification, back in Soviet times, it was proposed to take a chassis from the T-80 (in two engine options - a gas turbine and a diesel), and from the T-72 - a turret, and thus obtain a single MBT with two engine options. It did not pass. Even the T-64 continued to be produced.

And now - modernize the Soviet legacy and don’t blow your mind - there will be enough tanks for a long time.

[Old tanker]

Towards the end of the union, the T-80U (with the GTE) and the T-80UD (with the 6TD) and the T-72BU (later renamed T-90) with a similar MSA and one TUR "Reflex" complex on all three vehicles were almost unified. 4 factories are loaded with production. But then it happened, what happened ...

[Togilen]

The T-72BU did not exist in nature, as did the BM itself. Only in the vastness of Wikipedia.

[Old tanker]

You are wrong. Object 188 was originally named T-72BU. It was under this designation that three such machines came to us at the ChVTKU at the beginning of 1993. Then, suddenly, it turned out that it was a T-90.

[Togilen]

It did not officially bear that name. It was only on paper from the designers. Although to hell with him, it's a pity that the 187 was not released. Now our MBTs would be 120% the most powerful in the world - they removed the neckline, new engines, the 2A66 gun - lyapota + welded cap, which then migrated to 90A.

[Old tanker]

In the ledger of TOiE, which was in the portfolio of documentation, along with the forms, T-72BU was written. Looks ahead of time on the rotator rolled out and did not change.

[Togilen]

T-90CM

This is an export version of the T-90M tank, so by nature, like the T-90S (SA), it cannot exist in the Russian Federation.

Now - modernize the Soviet legacy and don’t blow your mind

The stupidest invention

[demiurg]

At times I think, why does the Russian Federation need 280000 ground forces, plus 45000 Airborne Forces.
And then I remember, Poland has 200000, Turkey has 260000, Ukraine has 145000. And this is almost all at our borders.

And all these Russian troops want to have tanks. Desirable modern. Therefore, all fresh T-72, T-80 and T-90 are being modernized. Because not a single state will take out a replacement for new ones at once.

This is only the western direction.
And then there is Japan, China with a border of thousands of kilometers, the Central Asian underbelly, the Transcaucasian direction. And everywhere it is necessary to keep troops and tanks - as the most mobile strike means and means of reinforcing the infantry.

[Normann]

We must not forget about missile weapons ...

[Ratmir_Ryazan]

as part of the modernization, it is planned to install an active protection complex "Arena-M"

This is the most necessary thing that needs to be done for a long time. At least for a certain number of tanks.

[PROXOR]

It is a pity that they did not set a panorama with a thermal imaging channel for the commander as on the T-90M.

[kytx]

So it seems about that and the speech in the article is what they want to equip with a thermal imager. Even on t72b3 after 2016, they began to stick in so that now a tank without a thermal imager is not a tank

[Togilen]

What for? Give me money

[farm2009]

The tank needs a new welded turret, now there is a cast turret from t80bv, it has very low armor resistance.

[Togilen]

From T-80B (BV) the same B with DZ.

it has very low armor resistance.

The experience of shelling these vehicles in Chechnya showed that in no case was the turret's frontal armor pierced. And the shots fired both from RPGs, ATGMs and Chechen tanks.
By modern standards, in fact, the booking of the T-90A is already outdated for new meter scrap from the USA and Germany.

[Togilen]

Author, this is what:

As regards the T-80BVM, it was reported that as part of the modernization, it is planned to install the Arena-M active protection complex, additional dynamic protection units along the sides, and also replace the Contact-5 dynamic protection with Relikt.

There is a Relic on it already !!! A K-5 on 72B3.
To the author of the COL!

[steelmaker]

Yes, that Putin would modernize if not for the Soviet "galoshes"? The nonsense said by Putin will stay with him forever!
