A brief history of the V-84 engine

The V-84 engine is a classic, diesel power unit generating 840 HP, designed for the T-72 during the Cold War era. This module was used in variants of the T-72 by the Soviet Army, and later by the armed forces of Russia and former Soviet republics. It debuted in serial production between 1973–1980, becoming the drive core for thousands of tanks used, among others, in the war in Afghanistan, Middle Eastern conflicts, and various maneuvers and exercises of the Eastern Bloc.
