I thought that all T-80s have been withdrawn from untis and put in storage with T-72B3 being the standard MBT. Something changed?

What was the reason for that?

What was the reason for that?

Like I've said standardization around T-72 and T-90 (completely forgot about it), I let Russian experts chimed in, but I think the maintenance and upgrade of the gas turbine engine was too expensive. Ukrainians use a diesel version, and due to its sheer speed, maneuverability and better trained crews from Airborne and Marines brigades, T-80s performed much better and beyond their small numbers compared to the "regular" T-64s.

As far as I know on T-80BVM the ones which modernized with the Sosna-U thermal gunner's sights and new fire control system in 2017 should be still in active service.

Some T-80 were modernized and returned to the service in divisions located in the northern regions, where gas turbines has obvious advantages.
