Fallout Re: MBT's

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.
