Russia plans to buy Korean T-80s and BMP-3s back, according to Izvestia newspaper.

 

 

   The decision on the return of T-80 tanks and BMP-3 was made in 2015 - said the source of "Izvestia". - Now complete assessment of these machines was completed and a document with our offer was made. He referred that a working group gave papers to President of South Korea during his visit to Russia (Sept 3rd). Russia hopes not to buy, but to mutually beneficial for both countries bartering.

   According to the interlocutor of "Izvestia", combat vehicles, despite intensive operation in South Korea, they are in good condition and are quite suitable for return to duty, although some of them are likely to be dismantled for spare parts
