Russia Resumes T-80 Tank Production After Halting T-90 Expansion

Russia's tank-maker Uralvagonzavod plans to resume production of new T-80 tanks, but the process is expected to be time-consuming and expensive. The factory in Omsk hasn't manufactured a new T-80 hull since 1991, and finding suppliers for the necessary parts could be a challenge. The decision to restart production is likely driven by Russia's significant tank losses during the conflict in Ukraine. However, it remains unclear which T-80 model would be produced and when production would actually begin.
