Ukrainian Armed Forces use a very rare “female” tank showman T-80UE-1, which was captured from the Russian army (video)

The Ukrainian Armed Forces captured many Russian tanks. One of them is the T-80UE-1. This is a very rare modification of the Soviet T-80 combat vehicle.

Last year, the media reported on the capture of such a tank. According to Oryx analysts, the Ukrainian Armed Forces managed to take at least four T-80UE-1s from the Russians, and at least two more combat vehicles were destroyed.

This month, a video was released showing the T-80UE-1 in the hands of the Ukrainian Defense Forces. The tank was put into service with a separate mechanized brigade along with the T-80. They are equipped with Relict and Kontakt dynamic protection systems.

The T-80UE-1 is nicknamed the “showman” because it often participates in military shows and exhibitions. At such events, the tank can perform acrobatic stunts, but when it comes to real combat conditions, it is no different from other armored vehicles.

In addition, the T-80UE-1 is called a “female” tank. This is because the women’s crews participated in a Russian competition called tank biathlon.
