Military observers determined that the Black Eagle tank and the T-80UM2 were exactly the same tanks due to them looking exactly identical. A few years after the demonstration, Russia released details about a new tank being developed from its T-80 MBT, which was now the T-80UM2. However, it was soon revealed that the turret installed during the demonstration was just a mock-up. The T-80UM2 MBT was originally part of the Black Eagle (Chiorny Oriol) tank program begun in the 1980s with the first appearance of the tank in 1997, allegedly appearing briefly during a demonstration held in Omsk in 1997. In response, President Biden approved an $800 million military aid package to Ukraine, sending 2,000 Javelins, 1,000 light anti-armor weapons, 6,000 AT-4 anti-armor systems, 100 tactical unmanned aerial systems (which were implied to be kamikaze Switchblade drones), 800 Stinger anti-aircraft systems, and a number of rifles, machineguns, shotguns, and pistols. This follows Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s impassionate plea to US congress to supply them with more weapons to implement a no-fly zone on their own following massive bombardment campaigns in their cities. Notably, the Ukrainian Armed Forces will be gaining another military supply package from the US.
Looking at pictures of the destruction to the convoy, it appears that rocket artillery was the most likely cause. The Panzerfaust 3 was made to combat Soviet T-72 and T-80 main battle tanks.
However, it is unknown what had destroyed the column as the Ukrainian Armed Forces have been using a number of anti-tank munitions supplied by its allies, including Javelins, NLAWs, and soon, the Panzerfaust 3. It was spotted during Russia’s Zapad 2021 Strategic Command’s Staff Exercise, which focuses on Russia’s Western Military District and Belarus. The experimental tank was rumored to be part of the 4th Guards Tank Division (also known as the Kantemirovskaya Order of Lenin Red Banner Tank Division), Russia’s elite tank forces headquartered in Naro-Fominsk. The now-destroyed tank was seen with its turret blown off and its hull completely obliterated along with the Russian armored vehicles. This may be the only T-80UM2 as it was said to be a prototype model The destroyed Russian T-80UM2 MBT ( The Dead District TheDeadDistrict) Twitter Account) According to them, the Russian prototype tank was destroyed on March 17, with sources on Twitter stating that the destroyed tank was found as part of a larger convoy of Russian vehicles in Sumy, Ukraine. Their research team had identified that an experimental T-80UM2 main battle tank (MBT) had been deployed to Ukraine and subsequently destroyed. At this moment, they possess 215 warheads in total, out of which 120 is deployed and completely operational.In the latest addition of Russian experimental weapons making their respective debuts in Ukraine, the Oryx blog, which specializes in tracking destroyed military vehicles, aircraft, and other equipment, has identified a unique new Russian casualty on Ukrainian soil, the T-80UM2 main battle tank. This was one of the reasons why UK developed their first nuclear weapon so late. Unfortunately, all the data that USA could not be sent back to the UK, since the cooperation has ended prematurely. It means that we cannot forget about the tremendous help the Americans received from the British government and men of science while developing their first nuclear bomb. We should remember about the fact that United Kingdom was in a strict cooperation with United States at the very beginning. Comparing to a thousand and hundreds of tests by Americans and Russians, the Brits made only 45 tests of nuclear arsenal. The UK itself did not have many tests after that. “Hurricane”, which was the codename for the test assumed the use of 3 megaton bomb, which was dropped in Australia. The first successful test in the nuclear history of Great Britain occurred in October 1952, three years after Russia’s first successful attempt. Third out of fifth nuclear-weapon states that are under the NPT, the treaty of the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons.
