The Nazi armed forces of the Kiev regime continue to incur significant losses in main battle tanks. Do not correct the situation and the supply of equipment from NATO European States - Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
As noted by the project " WP: Russian weapons ", the command of the APU is forced to put into operation the samples existing in small amounts or having the status of experimental and pilot.
So, on the line of contact recently seen T-80UD Bereza and a single instance of the T-72МП.
Just "eighties" in the diesel version, according to various estimates, in the Ukraine, there were two dozen units. All this equipment was produced during the Soviet era, the factory in Kharkov. In the second half of 80-ies in their tactical and technical characteristics, it is in many respects superior to their foreign competitors. Perhaps the only serious drawback was the lack of thermal imaging sights, which have been used in the American M1 Abrams, the West German Leopard 2 and the British Challenger 1.

These machines are mainly first came into military school training officers for the Soviet Army.
Among them were the first releases, both with hinged protivokumulyativnymi dynamic protection "Contact-1", and the more contemporary "Contact - 5" has already been done in the embedded version and neutralizing armor-piercing shells.
Structurally, they had much in common with those produced in Leningrad and Omsk, the T-80U. The main difference is that instead of the gas turbines were applied two-stroke 1000-strong 6TD.
Currently, the T-80UD are deprecated in Russia long ago removed from weapons, to Ukraine, by contrast, sent in troops. Of course, several cars arrived a special role does not play.
Also meaningless is sending to the front of the experienced T-72МП introduced a quarter century ago and created in cooperation with foreign companies. It was installed on the French system of fire control. Regular engine was replaced with the above mentioned 6TD. Despite intensive advertising campaign wishing to buy it and was not found. For many years this "armored loser" sitting in the sump near Kharkov, where he was taken last fall. Assumptions were made that he was going to use for some testing purposes, but is now sent to the "final voyage" on the line of contact.
