T-80 U, UK

T-80U is an all-round upgrade to the T-80B and one of the most advanced MBTs fielded by the Soviet Union. With a new turret and Kontakt-5 ERA, it visually distances itself from its T-64 ancestors and boasts hefty protection against both chemical and kinetic rounds. The engine power has been improved by about 14% and the resulting power-to-weight ratio matches contemporary NATO tanks like the Leopard 2A4 and IPM1. The firepower has also kept up with the times because of its top 3BM46 APFSDS and 9M119 ATGM.

T-80UK was the evaluation prototype of a commander tank version of the T-80U tested in the 1980s. The design of T-80UK was mostly similar to the T-80U, but upgraded with TVD, Shtora-1 soft-kill APS, new FCS, and communication equipment. The vehicle was evaluated and passed state certification in the 1990s, but the certified T-80UK in Russian Army service did not install Shtora-1 APS, likely a result of funding problems during production and saving equipment for more advanced tanks like the T-90. The only prototype is mostly used during army exhibitions or army open days.
