The original T-80 design uses a 1,000 horsepower gas turbine instead of a 750 horsepower diesel engine, although some later variants of the T-80 revert to diesel engine usage. Overall, its shape is also very similar to the T-64. The driver's compartment is on the centre line at the front, the two man turret is in the centre with gunner on the left and commander on the right, and the engine is rear mounted. The T-80 is similar in layout to the T-64.
The chief designer of the T-80 was the Russian engineer Nikolay Popov. The T-80 and its variants are in service in Belarus, Cyprus, Kazakhstan, Pakistan, Russia, South Korea, and Ukraine. The T-80U was last produced in a factory in Omsk, Russia, while the T-80UD and further-developed T-84 continue to be produced in Ukraine. A development of the T-64, it entered service in 1976 and was the first production tank to be equipped with a gas turbine engine for main propulsion. The T-80 is a main battle tank (MBT) designed and manufactured in the former Soviet Union. Please note, texture map is included only in the Max zip (download this file whatever format you require).
