The T-72M is the export model of the T-72A which was deployed in large numbers by Warsaw Pact nations in the Cold War. This example is likely to be an ex-East German example.
The T-72 first entered service in 1971 and was the low-end component of the high-low mix. Armed with a 125mm gun considered to be 'highly destructive', the T-72 appeared to have enjoyed little battlefield success instead, it enjoyed commercial success with more than 50,000 built.
