T-72 in Israel

edit

Unlike T-54/55/62, the T-72 was never adopted by the IDF. Moreover, as far as I know, Israeli forces didn't capture any T-72 in 1982. Apparently, the tank was only used in combat in the last days of the war and none remained in in the territory controlled by Israel. Apparently there was at least one attempt to recover a damaged tank, but it failed. The tank in Latrun is not a captured Syrian vehicle, it was bought somewhere in Eastern Europe in 1990s.

Since there's no reference supporting this, I've removed Israel from the operators. Michael Z. 2008-10-04 16:06 z

North Korea

How much T-72 the North Korean Army has? Why aren't they listed here? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.190.195.86 (talk) 19:13, 15 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned references in T-72 operators and variants

edit

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of T-72 operators and variants's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "militaryparitet":

Reference named "Janes":

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT 08:14, 9 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Unconfirmed references

edit
  • There is no trusted reference regarding capturing T72-SIM1 by Russian army, just unconfirmed and inadequate forum posts, even more - there are no loses like '44 tanks' as is said in here. Official source did not confirm this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.139.155.198 (talk) 11:22, 10 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

Can anyone confirm that the Polish made T-72M and also the Iraqi made Asad Babil tanks only has a handcranked turret ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.118.172.14 (talk) 14:56, 21 August 2011 (UTC)Reply

T-72 Ural original configuration picture

edit

The picture presented to be the original configuration of the T-72 prototype (Ob'yekt 172M) rather shows a modernized version, with the infrared searchlight switched to the right of the armament (original emplacement was on the left) and rubber skirts on the sides instead of flipper type panels (or nothing at all in the case of the prototype.) As the T-72 article says : Early model T-72s did not feature side skirts; instead, the original base model featured gill or flipper-type armour panels on either side of the forward part of the hull. When the T-72A was introduced in 1979, it was the first model to feature the plastic side skirts covering the upper part of the suspension, with separate panels protecting the side of the fuel and stowage panniers.

T-72B3M obr.2016 Commander Panoramic Sight.

edit

While some sources describe the T-72B3M as having a PK-Pan panoramic sight for the commander, it seems this was not included in the production of most vehicles. Photos of production T-72B3M's show that there is no new commander panoramic sight. Finskii (talk) 15:25, 14 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
