A little history: the decision to create a gas turbine tank was made by the CPSU Central Committee and the USSR Council of Ministers on April 16, 1968. From this moment the history of the T-80 tank began. Already in May 1969, the new gas turbine engine was installed on a prototype tank. In 1970, the Kaluga Engine Plant was entrusted with the development of serial production of the GTD-1000T tank engine, developed by NPO im. V. Ya. Klimova.
The vehicle entered service in 1976 and became the world's first production tank with a main power plant based on a gas turbine engine.
