[6] About 20,000 T-72 tanks were built, [7] making it one of the most widely produced post–World War II tanks, second only to the T-54/55 family. The T-72 was widely exported and saw service in 40 countries and in numerous conflicts. Improved variants are still being built for export customers. Development T-64 The development of the T-72 was a direct result of the introduction of the T-64 tank. The T-64 (Object 432) was a very ambitious project to build a competitive tank with a weight of not more than 36 tonnes under the direction of Alexander Morosov in Kharkov. [8] To achieve that goal the crew was reduced to three soldiers, saving the loader by introducing an automated loading system. This and other steps allowed a reduced weight, but caused problems when looking for a reliable engine to fit in the smaller hull. [9] The production of the T-64 with a 115-mm gun began in 1964, but plans to build the T-64A with a more powerful 125-mm gun had already been made back in 1963. [10] Problems with the first batch of T-64 tanks were centred around the 5TDF 700 hp engine and the auto loading mechanism. The engine was unreliable, [11] difficult to mend and only had a guaranteed life span of a World War 2 era tank engine. [12] A strong lobby around designer Morosov advocated for the T-64 in Moscow, preventing rivalling developments and ideas to be discussed. [13][14] Detour: mobilization model A mobilisation model of the T-64 with the cheaper and much more reliable V-45 engine (780 hp) was to be developed by Uralvagonzavod , since the Malyshev Factory in Kharkov could not provide a sufficient amount of 5TDF engines for all Soviet tank factories in wartime. [15] The 5TDF was too complex and its production twice as costly as the V-45 engine. [16] In 1967 the Uralvagonzavod formed "Section 520", which was to prepare the serial production of the T-64 for 1970. [17] The team soon found out that the more powerful V-45 engine put a lot of stress on the fragile T-64 hull, so that after some time cracks started to materialize. A more stable solution had to be found. [15] Finally, an idea from 1960 was used, when a modification of the T-62 had been discussed: In 1961 two prototypes of "Object 167" had been built by Uralvagonzavod to test a more powerful hull and running gear combination for that tank. Under influence from Kharkov the idea had been turned down by Moscow. [18] But this construction, with its big, rubbercoated roadwheels now formed the basis for the "mobilisation model" of the T-64. [19] Additional changes were made to the automatic loading system, which also was taken from an earlier project, originally intended for a T-62 upgrade. Ammunition , consisting of a separate projectile and a propellant charge was now stored horizontally on two levels, not vertically on one level like in the T-64. [20] It was said to be more reliable than the T-64 autoloader. [19] In 1964 two 125-mm guns of the D-81 type had been used to test their installation in the T-62, so the Ural plant was ready for adopting the 125-mm calibre for the T-64A as well. [21] T-72 |

iiichidodo: silly kid, comparing a main battle tank to an infantry fighting vehicle. FYI, the BMPs dont carry "mortars launchers". you are right to blame d educational system....for spurning pple like u who make hollow exposé and are proud of it. Go back to ur video games and leave a topic u know nothing abt. |
Re: T-72 Tanks Used By The Military To Destroy Boko Haram (Photos) by iiichidodo: 8:12pm On Feb 05, 2015 |
tit:MBTs aren't as mobile as IFVs thus they are prone to be isolated and overran.Little reason why they are used as mobile artillery units in specific battle scenarios...but an IFV especially a BMP is well suited to a mobile war which aptly connotes this current insurgency..it combines the speed and agility of a race car to the armour and fire power of a Tank although not completely(BMPs now come issued with standard ATGMs and TOWs). |

[quote author=Rikidony post=30444751][/quote] Hello Mr Rikidony, please to which Nigerian company did the Army award the contract to supply these T-72 Tanks? I am aware that they were procured from Excalibur Army in Czech Republic, however, I am sure that the Nigerian Army wouldn't award the contract directly to Excalibur Army in Europe. They would have awarded the contract to a Nigerian company, which then contracted with Excalibur Army for the supply. Please, do you know the Nigerian company? |
