Variants of T-72

[Sewter]

There has been much discussed on the T-72 variants on other posts, so I thought that I would add a bit here. I hope that this can help. Regrettably, I am unsure of copywrite issues with the source I use (Janes). I am available on PM for further info:

(The date after the designation is the year that it was accepted for service with the Russian Army)

The info on the variants above is available once I understand the copywrite issues. (ie: Cut and Paste) I will attempt a 'personalized' breakdown in the meantime. This could be quite large. Perhaps an attachment would be better?

nice job, on the attachment.

We'll find out if the new Soviet/Russian OBB meets this, tommorow. Before there where a few problems with T-72 disignations.

Just a nitpick, the Czech upgrade packages were T-72M3 CZ and T-72M4 CZ, where the M3 was planned without the NIMDA powerpack. Due to final number ordered, all tanks now are M4 variant.
