This book provides a comprehensive technical and operational history of the Soviet T-72 tank from its introduction in 1974 through 1993. Steve Zaloga examines the tank's development, design features, variants, and combat performance across multiple conflicts including the Iran-Iraq War and Gulf War. The book details the T-72's role as the Soviet Union's primary main battle tank and its widespread export to Warsaw Pact and allied nations. It includes technical specifications, photographs, and analysis of how the T-72 compared to Western contemporaries like the M1 Abrams and Leopard 2.
