The T-72 is a Soviet and Russian main battle tank from the Cold War and modern times. The first prototypes of this vehicle were produced between 1967 and 1972, and the vehicle was put into service in 1973. It is estimated that at least 20,000 units of this vehicle have been produced, although it should be noted that these are minimal estimates. The combat weight of the T-72B version reached 44.5 tons. Propulsion was provided by a single W-46 engine with a power output of 780 hp. The primary armament was a 125 mm 2A46M smoothbore gun, while the secondary armament consisted of a 7.62 mm PKT machine gun and a 12.7 mm NSW machine gun.
