Couldn't get it in there in time and almost forgot, But all the refs thus far said South Sudan got the
improved Ukrainian
T-72M1, that would make them under Ukrainian designation then the T-72MP here are the improvements "in a nut shell" as follows...
"T-72MP
Ukrainian upgrade with a 1,000-hp engine, added armor, Shtora-1, and SAGEM FCS and thermal sights."

Click on Mobility, Protection and Firepower
under "T-72 modernization..." for more in-depth system info above the comparison table. I would think these are readily available in the Ukraine OOB. This is one of the tanks the OPLOT was meant to replace.
Sorry about that a long night and early start today. Must've felt my son-in-laws pain of "hell night" before his CPO pinning ceremony this morning.
That's right Suhiir another "bubblehead" in the family!?!
Have a great weekend everyone!
