-|Built at the Kirov factory starting from March 1942, the T-80 is a modified version of the [[T-70]] light reconnaissance tank, with the old 1-man turret replaced with a larger 2-man turret to improve combat effectiveness. The T-70 and T-80 replaced the [[T-60]], which was originally intended as a replacement for the aging PT-38 amphibious scout tank and the sophisticated but expensive and complex [[T-50]]. The T-70 and T-80 addressed the main issue of the T-60 which had poor cross-country mobility and a weak 20mm main gun. All light tank production was stopped in October 1943 after only 180 T-80s being built, since the Lend-Lease tanks from the USA was sufficient for the Red Army. The T-70 and T-80 chassis was the used as a basis for the [[SU-76]] and [[SU-85B]] tank destroyers which was used throughout the war.
