More than two dozen modernized T-80BV tanks have entered service with the coastal troops of the Pacific Fleet. This technique will strengthen the striking capabilities of the Primorsky Marine Corps unit, the press service of the Pacific Fleet reported.

According to her, the train with tanks arrived at one of the railway stations in Vladivostok the day before. These are not the first deliveries of the T-80BV to the Far Eastern naval units. Earlier, the Kamchatka and Primorsky formations of Marines took 10 such armored vehicles each. At the same time, T-80BV/BVM tanks were being equipped with land units of the Far Eastern Military District. They, in particular, armed those units of the motorized rifle division stationed in the Khabarovsk Territory.

Strictly speaking, the T-80BV cannot be called a completely new tank. It is known that as a result of the modernization of the basic "eighty", all its main characteristics were increased. Including firepower, security, mobility and controllability. The range of firing from a tank with various types of ammunition has also increased during the day, at night and in conditions of limited visibility.

The improved T-80BVM was equipped with an armament stabilizer and a fully domestic Pine-U gunner's sight with sighting, thermal imaging and rangefinder channels, as well as a missile control channel. The 46-ton car was equipped with a 125-mm cannon and a modified gas turbine engine GTD with a capacity of 1250 horsepower. Due to this, among other things, fuel consumption was reduced when the power plant was operating in the parking lot when the fire control system was turned on. The chassis has been improved. The upgraded T-80 tanks are adapted for operations in low temperature conditions.

The tank driver had his own TVN-5 surveillance device. Improved command controllability is provided by the new ultra-shortwave radio station "Aqueduct". And for greater survivability in battle, the car was equipped with three types of protection. These are the complex of modular dynamic protection "Relict", anti-cumulative lattice screens and the active protection system "Arena-M".
