Are there any western airline pilots on this board who upon hearing " 80 kts " from the FO and looking at their ASI and seeing a number much smaller; would continue the tskeoff rather than immediately calling for the reject ?
Above 80 knots (which would be the case), I'm only stopping for fire, engine failure etc, so I'd be happy to continue. A check of the standby ASI to see whose instrument is reading correctly and then use that to take to the air. Once airborne a more detailed check to establish the problem (almost certainly an ADC fault), while flying pitch and power if there's any doubt as to whose ASI is correct. Of course, with RVSM considerations v ADC etc I'll almost certainly not be going anywhere but I don't believe it is a reason for a 'high speed' rejected take-off.
