Descriptionof T-72 Main Battle Tank
Manufacturer

The T-72 is one of the most famous tanks in the world. It was produced in large numbers and saw action in numerous conflicts in the Middle East and Africa, as well as in the Yugoslav Wars and the current conflict in Ukraine. In this study, renowned Russian tank experts James Kinnear and Stephen Sewell tell the whole story behind this legendary tank, drawing on extensive primary sources from Russian archives, many of which are appearing in English for the first time. The T-72 was originally developed in the late 1960s as a lower-cost alternative to the recently introduced T-64 main battle tank and entered service with the Soviet Army in 1974. From the 1970s until the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, it was the most widely used tank in the Warsaw Pact. A total of over 22,000 units were built for domestic use and export. This new study contains over 300 photos detailing the history of the vehicle, as well as tables and data on the weapons and systems used. It also covers related vehicles and systems such as artillery systems, engineer vehicles, bridge layers and recovery vehicles, as well as the unique heavy infantry support vehicles.
