1/35 Trumpeter Russian T-80UK MBT – 09578

The T-80UK tank provides command and control capability for field commanders and enables communications with superior command. It is similar to the T-80U but has a number of additional features. It is fitted with the Shtora-1 countermeasures suite, which is also fitted on the T-90 tank. This system includes an infrared jammer, a laser warning system, a grenade discharging system and a computerised control system. The operational range is 200 m.

The tank has a combined symmetric dipole antenna for both UHF and HF communications.

An AB-1-P28 1kW benzene generator is provided to power communications when the tank is stationary. The T-80UK also has a more advanced fire control system, an automatic loader for the gun, and a and a built-in turret ERA.
