No, it was purely for domestic, IIRC parts of the plans to modernize the tank fleet.
No it was meant for export. Im 100% sure about that.
However it never sold so the Russians kept it.
Export in Russian is Экспорт, then T-80UE-1 would be T-80УЭ-1, which is not, it’s T-80УЕ-1 in Russian.
Same way for
No, the upgrade package was initially a way to just let T-80U’s keep longer in service, same for T-80UA, T-72/80BA.
Export T-80U’s were mostly T-80UM’s.
Russian tanks usually export in large numbers, T-80UE-1 existed in around 30 tanks made.
Where Oplot
Its not an Oplot. That would be marked T-84 not T-80.
Im still pretty sure it was designed for export bit did not sell. Thus the low production numbers.
Is the Update next week?

I’m definitely going to buy the Leopard 2A4M Pack
The lack of LFP protection is a deal breaker for me.
Which means…?
Im not trying to start an argument with you.
What’s LFP protection?
Lower front plate. Eg the lower armor of the tank.
It was a joke I thought of the most unrelated word to a tank that starts with the letter E
Dont know who’s ass you got that thought out off.
Literally is not a letter for Export.
Literally an upgrade made to utilise something from T-80UD’s which are mainly Russian’s storage, all while T-80UM goes fot export with T-90S/72S.

Usually S is for export, not sure why people think E.
T-80UD Turrets from Soviet times mated to Soviet era T-80BV hulls. Not offered for export AFAIK.
Some information here.
S is export for UVZ tanks, basically T-72/T-90s.
Omsk tank plant doesnt seem to use any to tell apart, same with KMDB.
S in case of Object 219AS (T-80U) / 219AS-1 (T-80UE-1) is seen as Serial, same with Su-27S.
It’s very clear what is offered for export if camo is not russian but desert or some non russian pattern one.
