The T-64 design was used as basis by LKZ for the gas turbine-powered T-80 main battle tank. The T-64A turret was adopted for early T-80 tank models, with its main gun and automatic loading mechanism, and upgraded armour. The T-64 was only supplied to the Soviet Army and its successors. It was never exported before 1991, unlike the T-54/55.
