  1. The T-80U at least has an Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) so you can maintain surveillance, run systems, etc. without running the turbine. Also I'm pretty certain that T-80 variants have adopted the "powerpack" concept similar to modern Western tanks so while the turbine may need maintenance, the vehicle is not out of service as you can quickly swap the powerpack and send the tank forward with the new powerpack and the damaged one is repaired "at leisure" at a suitable 2nd line repair facility.

  2.  @MilitaryHistoryVisualized  Sure but I just wanted to clarify that "turbine maintenance" didn't necessarily imply that the complete vehicle was out of action.
