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. | |

Description
The T-80UM2 (Object 219AS-M) is a gift rank VII Russian medium tank with a battle rating of 11.3 (AB/RB/SB). It was introduced during Update "Apex Predators" as a reward for the 2022 Winter Quest event.
A prototype of T-80U series for possible future upgrades with Drozd hard-kill APS onboard; the tank now enjoys the same performance of the well-known T-80U series in game with superb protection, mobility while has chances to intercept projectiles coming for T-80UM-2.
General info
Survivability and armour
From its appearance and by the name itself, T-80UM-2 looks very similar to the 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.

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:
- Retains identical, well-rounded protection of T-80U
- Sufficiently high mobility for taking vantage points
- Powerful 125 mm gun with varieties of ammunition at disposal
- Autoloader that ensures constant rate of fire
- 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
- Slow turret traverse rate
History
Due to the lack of information to late-USSR equipment and the later Black Eagle program, the APS-equipped variant of a T-80U is in fact known to the Russian Army as the “T-80 with Drozd APS (ADS)”; the prototype is one of the technological demonstrator for the UM upgrades of T-80U series of 1990s, but the economic problem seemingly hindered for any further upgrades of the T-80U series.
The only prototype of "T-80UM-2" was destroyed by artillery fire on 17th March, 2022 during conflicts.[1]
