Russia's invasion of Ukraine has resulted in significant tank losses, prompting the Russian army to deploy older models like the T-80 to supplement its forces. -Introduced in the late 1970s, the T-80 features a gas turbine engine that provides exceptional speed but suffers from high fuel consumption and reliability issues.

The latest figures released by Ukraine on Sunday show a significant uptick in casualties as the fighting continues.

During the third week of September, the Armed Forces of Ukraine eliminated 8,620 Russian soldiers. They also managed to destroy 224 artillery systems and 159 armoured fighting vehicles, according to the Telegram of Commander of the Ground Forces Oleksandr Pavliuk.
