T-80BV (fuel)

T-80BV (fuel) miniature, depicting the Soviet main battle tank variant equipped with external fuel drums for increased operational range. Introduced in the mid-1980s, the T-80BV was an upgraded version of the T-80B fitted with Kontakt-1 explosive reactive armor (ERA) blocks on the hull and turret, providing significantly improved protection against anti-tank weapons. Retaining the 125 mm smoothbore gun capable of firing 9M112 “Kobra” guided missiles and powered by a gas turbine engine, the T-80BV combined speed, firepower, and advanced armor technology. The addition of fuel drums reflects field adaptations for extended maneuvers.
