Main armament
Give the reader information about the characteristics of the main gun. Assess its effectiveness in a battle based on the reloading speed, ballistics and the power of shells. Do not forget about the flexibility of the fire, that is how quickly the cannon can be aimed at the target, open fire on it and aim at another enemy. Add a link to the main article on the gun: {{main|Name of the weapon}}. Describe in general terms the ammunition available for the main gun. Give advice on how to use them and how to fill the ammunition storage.

Usage in battles
Describe the tactics of playing in the vehicle, the features of using vehicles in the team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view but instead give the reader food for thought. Describe the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).
Pros and cons
Pros:
- Great mobility
- Low silhouette, making it harder to hit and spot
- Exceptional protection, including KONTAKT-1 ERA
- Fantastic 125 mm main armament
- Consistent reload time due to the autoloader
Cons:
- Autoloader is easy to target
- Terrible gun depression
- Poor reverse speed, making it hard to retreat unlike other top-tier MBTs
- Very cramped interior, making it easy to knock out the whole crew with a single shot
- Driver's hatch, gun breech, and the lower frontal plate are still great weakspots
History
Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the vehicle in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).
Devblog
The Object 219AS-1 project appeared due to needs to improve T-80BV tanks. It involved improving the tank's chassis to the level of the T-80U modification, as well as using the T-80UD modification's fighting compartment with an improved sighting system, a Belarusian-made thermal imaging sight and a French Thales camera. The Object 219AS-1 successfully passed tests in 2003 and received the name T-80U-E1. The overhaul of early variants of the T-80 to the T-80U-E1 standard was carried out by Omsk Transport Engineering Plant.
Media
Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
