| The T-80BVM is an upgraded version of the T-80BV main battle tank. It was first publicly revealed in 2017. Currently Russia operates a total of 4 500 T-80 main battle tanks of all variants. Due to high operational costs these tanks are being kept in reserve. Currently the main operational tanks of the Russian Army are the T-90 and overhauled or upgraded versions of the T-72. The main reason is that these tanks with conventional diesel engines are less expensive to operate and to maintain than the T-80s. Earlier it was planned that all Russian T-80 series tanks will be retired by 2015. However in 2017 Russian MoD signed a contract to refurbish and upgrade a total of 62 T-80BV tanks to the T-80BVM standard in order to keep them in operational service. In 2018 a first batch of 31 T-80BV tanks was upgraded to the T-80BVM standard. These operational tanks were first publicly revealed during a military parade in 2018. However these initial tanks lacked some features of the T-80BVM demonstrator, that was revealed in 2017. Upgrade of the T-80BV tanks to the T-80BVM standard continued in 2019 when another 31 tanks were delivered. In 2020 a contract was signed to upgrade another 50+ T-80BV tanks to the new standard. |
