T-72 varients

[Nikademus]

Thx....yes i've been to this site and a bunch of others. Here, btw is the link to the wiki article.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-72

I agree that Wiki's quality can be suspect at times, however given the disperity between sources, i figure its an even playing field in this case. I have read from other sources that abstractly state that the T-64 (and later T-80) were superior models as well as info that described "export" versions of the T-72 as inferior copies due to technology hording. The wiki site also contains an interesting link to the Iraqi "Lion of Babylon" version of the T-72 which would seem to support that notion. (yet in the Iraqi OOB, the T72's have typical Soviet values...including Composite armor type HEAT values)
