"T-72S : Export version, conflicting data - some sources state export version of B, some state it's A/M1 with B FC and ERA which would mean weaker armour than 72B."

I am pretty sure that T-72S is T-72B, give or take a few details.I mean, with only light era and no thermal sight in the 21st century it is already enough of a tracked coffin without having to go further back to the T-72A armor scheme.

Most likely it seems it's T-72A/M1 refurbished to 72B standards concerning FCS. Mind you, it's not RUSSIAN soldiers who may die in them and from Russian POV it's good to costly sell T-72A hulls that would otherwise rust up in reserve depots
