Short Historical Description

The T-72BM, also known as the T-72B mod. 1989, is an upgraded version of the Soviet T-72B tank. Its armor was improved by using Kontakt-5 reactive armor plates and by adding the characteristic cage armour, designed to protect against modern anti-tank munitions. This tank remained in the arsenal of the Soviet Army and later the Russian Federation, and was also exported to several countries of the former Eastern Bloc. This version participated in numerous local conflicts, including the Chechen War and combat operations after 1989.
