| Principal
Advantages of the T-80U |
| - Unique guided weapons permitting fire-on-the-move at
a 5,000m. |
| - Automatic loader with 28 ready rounds; |
| - Exceptional mass and dimension indices (mass 46t,
roof height 2,202mm, fire line 1,678mm); |
| - High power/volume ratio for the power plant
compartment (368k W/m); |
| - Guaranteed engine operation in heavily dust-laden air
without maintenance; |
| - Use of GTD-1250 gas turbine engine with high degree
of adaptability for improved manoeuvrability, control and simplified
transmission; |
| - Capacity of crossing a 1.8m deep ford without
preliminarypreparation; |
| Multi-fuel engine that can be started at sub-zero
temperatures without special preparati |
