The T-72M was identical to the base T-72 Ural model in terms of protection, [53] retaining the monolithic steel turret. [54] The modernized T-72M1 was closer to the T-72A in terms of protection. It featured an additional 16 mm (0.63 in) of high hardness steel appliqué armour on the glacis plate, which produced an increase of 43 mm (1.7 in) in ...

Obiekt 187 was a parallel project to Obiekt 188, the T-90 tank. It was based on the T-72B, with a heavily modified turret. A particularly notable feature was the rejection of the T-64 hull design. The redesigned layout took up more space, but positively affected ergonomics and protection from the glacis plate. Due to lengthening of the hull's ...
The frontal part of the entire turret, hull upper front plate and lower front plate could all be defeated at 3 km or more. This essentially means that the T-72 Ural could defeat one of NATO's toughest tanks at any reasonable combat distance. [26] [unreliable source?] According to both sides, the T-72 was the most feared tank of the war. [27]
Kartsev melded what he believed were the best aspects of the T-64A, Object 167, and an upgunned T-62. [9] During development the tank was code-named "Ural" after the Ural mountain region. [8] Uralvagonzavod produced the first prototype with a T-62 turret, D-81 125-mm gun and V-45 engine in January 1968.
The T-80 design improved on several aspects of the earlier T-64 design, introducing a gas turbine engine in the original model, [b] and incorporating suspension components of the T-72. This gave the tank a high power-to-weight ratio and made it easily the most mobile tank in service, albeit with acute range problems, as the turbine used fuel ...
T-72, a Soviet tank; Cooper T72, a racing car; Hunter T 72, a British-built trainer aircraft; INS Cheriyam (T72), a patrol vessel of the Indian Navy; MV Derrycunihy (1943), impressed into the Royal Navy as Motor Transport Ship T72
The Type 72Z tank (also known as the T-72Z and the Safir-74, [4] and the Al-Zubair I in Sudan) [3] is a highly modernized version of the Type 59 and T-54/T-55 tanks, [4] with upgrades carried out by the Iranian Defense Industries Organization. [2] The tank is not to be confused with an Iraqi modernization also known as T-72Z, said to carry a ...
