Russian T-80UK MBT 1/35 Trumpeter

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, also fitted on the T-90 tank. This system includes infrared jammer, laser warning system, grenade discharging system and a computerized control system. Operational range is 200m. The tank has a combined symmetric dipole antenna for both UHF and HF communications. This increases range when the tank is stationary – up to 40km for the R-163-50U radio and 350km for the R-163-50K radio. An AB-1-P28 1kW benzene generator is provided to power communications when the tank is stationary. T-80UK also has a more advanced fire control system, automatic loader for the gun and built-in turret ERA.
