These tanks entered service with the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation during the Cold War and were used after the collapse of the USSR—particularly in the 1990s and early 21st century. The T-80UM stands out due to the use of unique electronic components, improved ballistic protection, and dynamic armor, which significantly increased its combat effectiveness. Examples of use include military maneuvers and strategic exercises of the Russian army.
