So, the authors said that the T-80 was the firstequipped with a gas turbine engine, due to which the tank’s power increased to 1250 horsepower. “According to some sources, in the event of a war with NATO, the T-80 will be able to reach the English Channel in less than a week - in just five days,” said the US.
The disadvantage of the Russian model, according to the authors,lies in high fuel consumption, which imposes additional problems with logistics.
