T-72

The T-72 is a Main Battle Tank that was designed by the Soviet Union. First produced in 1971, the T-72 has seen great export success, with more than 25,000 being built and being sold to the militarys of over 35 nations world wide. It is a further development of a long line of tanks that started with the T-62 and has continued to culminate into the creation of the T-90. It has been through several upgrades that have allowed it to serve as a decent contender in the 21st century battlespace.
