Active protection and speed: why the T-80BVM is shielded from drones. The Ministry of Defense released footage of the T-80BVM in action. The crew destroyed a #UAV control point and a stronghold. But the key takeaway is how this tank survives in the FPV-drone era. The T-80BVM is a deep modernization of the legendary "Eighty". Its 1,250 hp gas turbine engine delivers power-to-weight ratios unreachable for diesels. Speeds of 70–80 km/h and superb agility let it break contact instantly.
