Zaloga","description":"The history of the little-known yet controversial T-80 and its subsequent variants.   The Soviet T-80 Standard Tank was the last tank fielded before the Soviet collapse, and the most controversial. Despite having the most sophisticated fire controls and multi-layer armor ever fielded on a Soviet tank, its turbine power plant (rather than a conventional diesel) remained a source of considerable trouble throughout its career. Steven J Zaloga charts the little-known history of the T-80, covering the initial construction, through the development to the subsequent variants, the T-84 and Russia's enigmatic \"Black Eagle Tank.\" Accompanying detailed cut-away artwork illustrates the unusual design features that made the T-80 so controversial.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56308198080885,"sku":"9781846032448","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781846032448.jpg?v=1762806762","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781846032448","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
