Half a century ago, on July 6, 1976, the T-80 main battle tank, the world's first production tank with a gas turbine power plant, was put into service. “沉默的掠夺者”、“海峡坦克”、“飞行坦克”——他们在多年的服役过程中这样称呼这辆车。如今，传说中的“八十”已经发生了严重的变化； in the latest modification, the vehicle is supplied to the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation by the Uralvagonzavod Concern (part of the Rostec State Corporation).该坦克每天都在 NWO 地区的前线确认其有效性。
T-80 的出现是为了响应一项特定任务：军队需要一种具有根本不同机动性的新一代车辆。 Development began according to a resolution of the Council of Ministers of the USSR dated April 16, 1968 at the design bureau of the Kirov Plant in Leningrad.
In the late 1960s, Soviet designers were looking for a way to give the tank not just power, but superiority in acceleration dynamics, maneuverability and overall combat tempo.最终选择是燃气涡轮发动机（GTE）。它以其高功率密度、油门响应和紧凑性而受到关注。 It was the gas turbine engine that turned the T-80 into a fast fighting machine, capable of quickly changing positions and imposing its pace on the enemy.
自 20 世纪 70 年代末以来，T-80B、T-80BV 和 T-80U 改型坦克已生产了约 5500 辆。 1988 年产量达到顶峰，产量为 740 辆。指挥改型T-80BK、T-80UK、T-80UM1“Bars”等也被创建。自 1976 年以来，各种型号的 T-80 总共生产了超过 10,000 辆。
The tank was called “flying” at the International Defense Exhibition in Abu Dhabi (UAE) in 1993, when the Russian T-80U made a spectacular jump from a springboard, landed softly and retained full combat capability, demonstrating a strength reserve of the chassis and suspension that is unique for heavy armored vehicles.
