There'll be more on this later, however, when I entered what is in the game as the
mistaken T-72B3 in
2014 from my printout of my submission which
was my fault and missed it when I posted my word doc to the
FASTBOAT Patch Thread.
Some of you
might remember me referring to our "
Hybrid Tank" in several posts as the
T-72B3/4.
I refer to
UNIT 697 T-72B3. The name needs to change for that unit to
T-72B3M by refs (Also known in official circles as T-72 Object 2016 or from some as the T-73B4.) that's on me.

However, we
CANNOT ignore the
T-72B3 as that tank is currently the
most numerous operated MBT in Russian service.

So, in working on my Russian captured tank project as posted in
Posts 1416 & 1425 in this thread, I came across
TWO modern tanks I couldn't verify as being operational in the Russian Army.
I have built a
T-72B3 from one of those tanks and Don should get a free slot back.
That was a statement that conveniently leads me to the following video of a Ukrainian
T-64BV taking out a Russian
T-72B3 at about
250m-300m range by a drone with a "
double tap".
That's my assessment after iso stop and blow-up of the video. Could be
wrong but feeling fairly confident. The
first thing I saw was the
difference in the side skirts between the
T-72B3 and T-72B3M.

Look lower left to about 2/3 center/slightly right.
EDIT: It's 0200 do you know where your kids are at? 
Just came across this...

I hope we're holding off on those Czech tanks that the U.S. and Netherlands are paying for at a cost of
~350-400 million dollars. That should buy something more advanced than the T-72 Viper I believe was discussed based on how many are to be modernized.
Another way of putting it we have
no Xxxxxxx idea at this time of what's being done to this tank in the "
Big Picture" sense.
Suhiir just got your PM-and
