T-72 it is for the
T2 the below is the manufacturer site as provided by
Tanks Encyclopedia from the "
links" section as I had previously posted. In a nutshell much improved technology as you would expect given the developmental histories, much cheaper because of the
T-72 chassis as noted (Besides the
T-90S/MS is the backbone of their higher end export MBT's and the chassis would be wasted on the
TERMINATOR series at this point in time.) and is much better suited to urban combat as
T2 has been "powered up", suspension improved, and weighs four tons less making it more agile though, still better protected than
T1.

If Syria buys, which I think they will, as noted, Russia will be watching very closely how
T2 performs during it's RL Op Eval.
