“Victory Day will be celebrated in the future. Its date has not yet been determined, but it will definitely happen. We put every effort to it. In the meantime, we are arranging a military parade on trophy Russian tanks along the frontline,” the military says.

In Soviet times, the serial version of the Т-80B with the mounted reactive armor “Contact” was called Т-80BV.

Т-80BVM is a Russian modernization of the Soviet-era Т-80BV tank.
