South Korean T-80

Found a video of South Korean T-80 tanks.
I find it odd that South Korea would have have Russian tanks
South Korea was given 33 T-80U and 2 T-80UK tanks to pay Russian debts incurred during the days of the Soviet Union.
And beside these are not bad tanks. They also have a few numbers of S-400 AA batteries as well, which were modified to the South Korean specs !
S-400 hasn't been exported. Chinese has a license produced version known as the HQ-19 but some rumor it to be based off the S-300PMU2.
Well, but in wiki, it says that Korea got in their deal an S-400, which was simplified to certain specs... I think I'm wrong...
Almaz antey is helping them develop an indigenous S-400 equivalent but it's not an S-400 in technical terms.
I bet the capitalists had all their greasy hands on this thing.
They changed the tracks i think.
Also the south korean camo looks very good on this T-80.
