Default Re: Russian T-80

"T-80 is continuation T-64. Any updatings and novelties - are created by uniform design office which has created these two remarkable tanks. T-62, T-72, T-90 - create other design office."

As I undestand it, the T-64 was from the Morozov design bureau, while the T-80 was from the design bureau of the Kirov plant in Leningrad, although Shomin and his guys had an hand in it.
