Russia's OZTM factory is desperate to find export customers for its T-80 and its T-55 upgrades. Without sales, the factory may go out of business.

While this engine allows the T-80 to run at high speeds for extended periods and to use many different kinds of fuels, these capabilities are rarely needed in regional conflicts.--Stephen V Cole
