The T-72 is a Soviet and Russian main battle tank from the Cold War and the modern era. The first prototypes of this vehicle were built in 1967-1972, and the car entered service in 1973. It is estimated that at least 20,000 copies of this car were built, although it is worth adding that these are minimum estimates. The combat weight of the T-72B version reached 44.5 tons. The movement was provided by a single W-46 engine with a capacity of 780 HP. The main armament was the 125 mm 2A46M smoothbore gun, and the secondary armament consisted of a 7.62 mm PKT machine gun and a 12.7 mm NSW machine gun.
The T-72 tank was created as a special complement to the T-64 and was intended to be a less technologically advanced vehicle, although it would meet the requirements of the battlefield, and at the same time cheaper to mass produce. For this reason, it uses, for example, an engine with a much less avant-garde design or more classic armor (especially in the first production series). The main producer of this tank for the Soviet Army was the Uralwagon Zawod plant in Nizhny Tagil. Unlike the T-64, the T-72 was widely exported and licensed to many countries around the world. It also quickly became the main tank of the armed forces of the Warsaw Pact countries. It is worth mentioning here that it was included in the equipment of the Polish People's Army in 1978 and remains there to this day. The T-72 tank is also used by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and has undergone numerous modernizations (to the models: T-72B3 and T-72B3M)
