A Soviet/Russian tank built by LKZ and Omsk Transmash, unusual for running solely on a gas-turbine engine since entering service in 1976. The T-80BV (1985) added Kontakt-1 reactive armor; the T-80BVM (2017) is a deep modernization with Relikt armor and an upgraded turbine. Both remain in Russian service.
