T-80 Standard Tank : The Soviet Army's Last Armored Champion
Description
Description
By Steven J. Zaloga
The Soviet T-80 Standard Tank was the last tank fielded before the Soviet collapse, and the most controversial. Despite having the most sophisticated fire controls and multi-layer armor ever fielded on a Soviet tank, its turbine power plant (rather than a conventional diesel) remained a source of considerable trouble throughout its career.
Steven J Zaloga charts the little-known history of the T-80, covering the initial construction, through the development to the subsequent variants, the T-84 and Russia's enigmatic Black Eagle Tank.
Accompanying detailed cut-away artwork illustrates the unusual design features that made the T-80 so controversial.
