By the time the punitive operation in the Donbas began, the Ukrainian army had 25 T-80UD, nicknamed "the last serial tanks of the USSR." Moreover, most of the once formidable combat vehicles were in a non-combatant state.

In the spring of 2014, when the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was hastily collecting what could somehow move, at least one relatively serviceable "udeshka" was seen as part of the unit advancing to the Donbass.

However, according to available data, this tank did not reach the combat area. He just went out of order, and they had to return him to the rear.

Then rumors began to appear that military officials in Kiev were going to collect all the T-80UD and send it to the factory in Kharkov for restoration. Photos of tanks of this modification located in the workshops even began to appear on the Web. However, years passed, but nothing really changed. The explanation is simple: significant funds are needed to reanimate this ruined equipment, and they simply do not exist. Therefore, the AFU is now seriously hoping that Poland will receive new Abrams from the United States, and will send the removed T-72 and RT-91 to Ukraine as military aid.
