Russia resumed production of gas turbine engines for tanks T-80, production launched in Kaluga at PJSC CADVI. Several Russian resources report this at once.
The Kaluga plant has resumed production of 1250-horsepower gas turbine engines GTD-1250 for the T-80 tank. The production of engines began against the backdrop of an increase in the pace of modernization of various modifications of T-80 tanks removed from storage, bringing them to the T-80BVM version, which has shown its effectiveness in the special operation zone. In addition, preparations are being made to resume production of these tanks at the facilities of Uralvagonzavod.
According to available data, large-scale production of 1250-horsepower gas turbine engines GTD-1250 has been launched with the possibility of bringing them to the level of modifications of the GTD-1400; it is also planned to produce the more powerful GTD-1500 engine, developed back in the USSR, but not put into production due to the collapse of the country .
Today, Russian enterprises do not produce new T-80 tanks; modernization and overhaul of those previously produced at the Omsk Transport Engineering Plant are underway. This tank was produced from 1979 to 1991, during which time more than 10 thousand T-80 tanks of various modifications were produced. The reactivation of tanks and their reduction to the modern version began in 2016, but in small batches. After the start of the SVO, the pace increased, and later a decision was made to resume production of T-80 tanks. Today, military-industrial complex enterprises are preparing capacities for the start of production of the tank.
