Sir what are major flaws of T80 or in other words shortcomings
Let's start with reviewing the following article, then we can go from there.

This is Why Russia's T-80 Tank Is a Total Disaster
Russia's T-80 tank was a total mess.

Not all T-80's are bad tanks (T-80 UD version with Diesel Engine is okay), but the T-72 as well as the follow on models to the T-72 (T-90) are smaller and more nimble tanks with just as much firepower. And cheaper to boot. For a 'numbers' tank, T-72 and T-90 have become preferred tanks in the Russian Army. T-14 Armata is much larger than these older tanks and also more expensive, it will be the new 'Lead' tank for the Russians once teething issues are resolved.
