Huge problems with the GTD-1250 turbine engines used in the T-80U and T-80BWM. Plans to convert all variants of the T-80 to those that could be equipped with these engines - mainly the T80UD - failed. It takes 600 working hours to convert one car and you have to interfere with the hull's bathtub. Anyway, the T-80UD doesn't have much anymore - it doesn't pay off. The production "from scratch" that was launched, releases bubbles - the worst engine withstood barely 60 hours of operation, 200 hours is an "overpriced norm". Tankers say that there are filings inside the engines, the lack of grinding of the welds is up to 10 cm(!) Fortunately outside. The industry says that the engines are slaughtered because in brigades you are told to drive without sense, the engines are not properly maintained and therefore they wear out faster. Both the industry and the Ministry of National Defense itself agree that there is simply a lack of properly qualified people, but here the Ministry of National Defense is accused by the industry of picking up their employees and sending them to the SWO. There are bizarre situations - in one PolBaz http://1. APanc.Gw no one could repair armored and mechanized equipment because one day the commander of one of the brigades, Col. Karpov, snatched all the technicians, leaving only the commanding officers and included them in the assault brigades "to help his comrades encircled in Kupiansk". None of these 45 people returned, but it was already too thick a number and the matter was taken up by Moscow, which transferred the inventive commander to another section of the front. Nb. The Ministry of National Defense accuses the industry of not watching people, there is too much turnover in the plants, because after 2-3 months skilled workers, when they already have papers that they work for defense, flee to Kazakhstan where they can earn more (and it is probably safer). The whole matter is to be in the Defense Committee this month. The industry has already written about production problems at one time
