The T-80UM2 (Object 219AS-M) was a prototype of the T-80U series for possible future upgrades with Drozd hard-kill APS onboard; Omsktransmash built a prototype of T-80UM as their solution to upgrade the fleet of T-80U in Russia by late 1990s. However, the worsening economy of Russia hindered any further development of this upgrade, and the tank was only displayed during an equipment demonstration in 1997.

Introduced during Update "Apex Predators" as a reward for the 2022 Winter Quest event, T-80UM2 shares identical performance to T-80U while it now enjoys new Drozd APS to intercept incoming missiles to further enhance its survivability of the tank; with the new equipment onboard, T-80UM2 can be a replacement to T-80U while players can get on hand with the tank easily while players need to beware of its inferior FCS without TVD channel.
