T-72 is a Soviet and Russian main battle tank from the Cold War and modern times. The first prototypes of this vehicle were produced in 1967-1972 and the vehicle was put into service in 1973. It is estimated that at least 20,000 copies of this car have been produced, but it is worth adding that these are minimum estimates. The war weight of the T-72B version reached 44.5 tons. The drive was provided with a single W-46 engine with a capacity of 780 HP. The main weapon consisted of 125 mm 2a46m -free ball and secondary weapon 7,62 mm PKT machine gun and 12.7 mm NSW machine gun.

The T-72 tank was created as a complement to the T-64, and although it meets the requirements of the battlefield, it would be a technologically less advanced tool and would also be cheaper in mass production. Therefore, for example, it uses a engine with much less avant -garde design or with a more classic armor (especially in the first production series). The main manufacturer for the Soviet army of this tank was the Zawod factory in the Uralwagon Tagil. Unlike T-64, T-72 has been widely exported and licensed to many countries around the world. At the same time, the Warsaw Pact has become the main tank of the armed forces of its countries. It is worth noting that in 1978, it was included in the Equipment of the Poland People's Army and remained there to date. The T-72 tank is also used by the Russian Federation Armed Forces and goes through numerous modernization (according to standards: T-72B3 and T-72B3M)
