T-80主战坦克
20世纪70年代苏联研制的第三代主战坦克
T-80主战坦克（英文：T-80 Main Battle Tank，俄文绰号：Летающий Танк，译文：飞行坦克），是20世纪70年代苏联研制的第三代主战坦克。T-80主战坦克，由T-64主战坦克发展而来，是历史上第一型以燃气轮机为动力批量生产的主战坦克。该坦克装备航空燃气涡轮发动机改装的985马力燃气轮机，发动机体积小、功率大、起动快、重量轻、可靠性高、更换方便。该坦克武器装备为一门125毫米滑膛炮、一挺7.62毫米机枪和一挺12.7毫米高射机枪，备有自动装弹机。1976年8月6日，T-80主战坦克正式列装苏军。T-80坦克从1976年开始批量生产，共生产了7500余辆，到1996年初俄军共装备了5000辆。近年来俄罗斯纷纷在世界各地推销T-80U坦克，并在许多国家进行过表演性试验。由于T-80坦克的研发生产单位分布在苏联（俄罗斯）和乌克兰，因此苏联解体后，俄乌两国独立继续发展T-80系列坦克，并衍生出T-80U（俄罗斯）、T-84（乌克兰）等新型号。除了俄罗斯、乌克兰等苏联国家，塞浦路斯、巴基斯坦、韩国等国也有T-80坦克及各种衍生型号服役。俄军计划在2025～2030年服役新坦克，新坦克将取代T-62、T-72和T-80坦克。2022年2月24日，俄罗斯在乌境内进行的军事行动中出动了其军火库中数量最多的T-80坦克
T-80 Main Battle Tank
A third-generation main battle tank developed by the Soviet Union in the 1970s

The T-80 Main Battle Tank (English: T-80 Main Battle Tank; Russian nickname: Летающий Танк, literally "Flying Tank") is a third-generation main battle tank developed by the Soviet Union in the 1970s. Derived from the T-64 Main Battle Tank, it is the first mass-produced main battle tank in history powered by a gas turbine engine. Equipped with a 985-horsepower gas turbine modified from an aviation gas turbine engine, the engine features small size, high power, quick start-up, light weight, high reliability, and easy replacement.

In terms of weaponry, the tank is armed with a 125mm smoothbore gun, a 7.62mm machine gun, and a 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine gun, along with an automatic loader.

On August 6, 1976, the T-80 Main Battle Tank was officially commissioned into the Soviet Army. Mass production began in 1976, with over 7,500 units produced. By early 1996, the Russian military had equipped 5,000 units. In recent years, Russia has promoted the T-80U tank worldwide, conducting demonstration tests in many countries.

Since the research, development, and production units of the T-80 were distributed across the Soviet Union (Russia) and Ukraine, after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Russia and Ukraine independently continued to develop the T-80 series, leading to new models such as the T-80U (Russia) and T-84 (Ukraine). Beyond Russia, Ukraine, and other former Soviet states, countries like Cyprus, Pakistan, and South Korea also operate the T-80 and its various derivatives.

The Russian military plans to commission new tanks between 2025 and 2030, which will replace the T-62, T-72, and T-80. On February 24, 2022, Russia deployed the T-80—its most numerous tank in stockpiles—in its military operation within Ukrainian territory.
