http://t72.iddk.ru/en/history.htmlFrom the website of the new tanksim "T-72: Balkans In Fire": read the part about the battles between the T-72 and Merkava in Lebanon, or the Gulf War. As should be readily apparent, the author is a complete moron (basicly he seems to be trying to claim that even "monkey model" T-72s are better than the Merkava or Abrams)Jonathan Nikiforovs. Milepost 180, CP Belleville Sub.Repainter for Yonder Locomotive Works.

Classic Soviet style garbage.According to this clown it took 3 M1A1's and 2-3 Bradleys to kill one T-72.And we only killed 14 T-72's!They must be spiking the Vodka with acid.

While I'm at it, I found this little (oft cited) story among the pages at globalsecurity.org. It's all anyone needs to understand how the T-72 really fared against the Abrams in Desert Storm:"A story illustrating DU's offensive and defensive renown involves an M1A1 "Heavy Armor" tank that had become mired in the mud. The unit (part of the 24th Infantry Division) had gone on, leaving this tank to wait for a recovery vehicle. Three T-72's appeared and attacked. The first fired from under 1,000 meters, scoring a hit with a shaped-charge (high explosive) round on the M1A1's frontal armor. The hit did no damage. The M1A1 fired a 120mm armor-piercing round that penetrated the T-72 turret, causing an explosion that blew the turret into the air. The second T-72 fired another shaped-charge round, hit the frontal armor, and did no damage. This T-72 turned to run, and took a 120mm round in the engine compartment and blew the engine into the air. The last T-72 fired a solid shot (sabot) round from 400 meters. This left a groove in the M1A1's frontal armor and bounced off. The T-72 then backed up behind a sand berm and was completely concealed from view. The M1A1 depressed its gun and put a sabot round through the berm, into the T-72, causing an explosion." Jonathan Nikiforovs. Milepost 180, CP Belleville Sub.Repainter for Yonder Locomotive Works.
