The T-80s future in the Russian Army

Full of mine hits, tank intact (except for right chain) and crew survived quite well.

I never realised how fast Ukrainian tank crews can run...

Maybe its the drugs they take? Or is just fear??  This bears ill for Russias plans to route the goblin horde and run them down in pursuit, given the gobbos will likely outpace them...

Minor comment on the vid.  They should play the theme song of the Benny Hill Show when the crew abandons their vehicle...  

The tank ran over a land mine... you can actually see it on the road in front of the track at the bottom of the screen... a light coloured dot before a gray patch of road (You can see it clearly at 6 seconds into the video).

As the tank drives back after the explosion you can see the lower track rolling out onto the road behind the vehicle, so in War Thunder a 10 second repair of the track, but in the real world abandon tank and let the engineers recover and repair it later.

That would have happened to any and all tanks and is not special to the T-80.
