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

Summarise and briefly evaluate the vehicle in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark its pros and cons in a bulleted list. Try not to use more than 6 points for each of the characteristics. Avoid using categorical definitions such as "bad", "good" and the like - use substitutions with softer forms such as "inadequate" and "effective".

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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: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).

Media

Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.

-From its appearance and by the name itself, T-80UM-2 looks very similar to the [[T-80U|tech-tree variant]] with its iconic rubber applique armor on the turret and its Kontakt-5 ERA blocks on hull. If players take a closer look to its turret, UM-2 installed 2 pairs of Drozd APS including 8 rounds of interception projectiles; anywhere other than this addition is totally identical to T-80U. The base model of T-80U is infamous for its well-rounded protection against both kinetic and chemical projectiles with up to 600 mm KE protection up front; the sides are also partly covered by extra armor. Due to the cramped interior layout caused by the design philosophy of being low-profile like most other Soviet tanks, while this lowers the chance of being spotted behind terrain, if the tank is penetrated by enemy shots, chances are either the explosion from fuel tank or the 6ETs series autoloader will instantly knock-out the tank. In the past, late/post-Cold War missiles are major threat for T-80U as they now have more than enough penetration to take down the tank; the Drozd APS in this case gives it the chance to intercept 4 missiles in total (8 rounds, 2 per salvo) before it has to rearmed, making T-80UM-2's overall survivability better.

-The shell options on T-80UM-2 is totally identical to its tech-tree variant, while not having the highest penetration among tanks of its tier, it can still serve its purpose on taking out enemy tanks.
-'''3BK18M, HEATFS'''- the most common stock HEATFS for Soviet tanks after T-64B, although composite armor and ERAs are commonplace at its tier, it has higher penetration to its NATO/Chinese counterparts at 550 mm; it will have better chance to penetrate the sloped parts of MBTs of the same tier, but in most cases those shots that fall on parts covered by composite armor will do no harm to the target while it is still lethal to light vehicles. So either take the enemies from the flank or aim carefully for disabling enemies with the first shot.
-'''3OF26, HEFS'''- the other stock HEFS for Soviet tanks since T-64B, a doctrine for Soviet tanks are using its HE shells to doom armored targets with its explosive contents; under the overpressure mechanism, tanks will have a bad day either by hitting their less-covered parts such as gun optics or CITV cameras, this round is also extremely lethal to light vehicles as well. It is always a good idea to bring some HE alongside with other ammunitions of your choice.
-'''3BM42, Tier I, APFSDS'''- while it is not being the best APFSDS at its caliber and tier (125-I of PLAGF has 466 mm penetration point-blank since 9.3), APFSDS does help eliminating the stock grind extensively with its flat trajectory and better post-penetration damage; but make sure to aim for the parts where it can penetrate enemy tanks ie. LFP and mantle.
-'''3BM46, Tier IV,APFSDS'''-  if players are not satisfied with the penetration of 3BM42, the 3BM46 now has over 530 mm penetration point-blank and enjoys the same trajectory from its predecessor. In most cases this will be the go-to ammunition for T-80UM-2.
-'''9M119, Tier III,ATGM'''- Soviet tanks are known to be equipped with gun-launched ATGM and T-80UM-2 is no exception; it might not have the highest possible penetration of such ATGMs, but it is an option against some well-protected NATO tanks. It can also serve as a makeshift anti-rotorcraft round against rotorcrafts within its elevation and guidance angle.

-* Sufficiently high mobility for taking vantage points
-* Powerful 125 mm gun with varieties of ammunition at disposal

-* Access to Drozd APS for extra protection against oncoming projectile
-* Low profile
 *
 '''Cons:'''
-* Rather cramped interior, any penetrated shots will cause extensive damage
-* Lacks protection for fuel tanks where fuel detonation is a instant-kill to the crew in most cases
-* The infamous 6ETs series autoloader with a high profile, shots that hit the autoloader will set the turret sky high
-* Relatively slow reverse speed than NATO tanks
-* Rather insufficient gun depression
