Default Re: T-72 varients

I have given a look to the T-72S issue.In sales type publications it is marketed as a modified T-72B.The iranians are apparently buying them in construction kits for local assembly.I think that they would realize that they are getting T-72A and bad words in farsi would follow. To be honest for support work the tank isn't that bad. Light ERA and the passive armor will stop RPG-7s just as effectively as Kontakt-5 and T-90 armor but at less expense. But if you have to go up against T-84s or such...
