Updated the tank to include the "T-62M 1972" tag (it refers to the base T-62 that was upgraded to the M variant, the 1972 one is identifiable with the loaders cupola and HMG)
Added the tags; tanks red_army naval_infantry storage_facility (naval_infantry is new, this T-62MV was used in the naval infantry which was common place in the 80s).
Many thanks. I picked this up by chance while going through an old thumb drive I had - tried the best I could with what I could glean from the picture itself.
Refer to my source for the matter, as thats my main argument point for it being moreso a T-90 than a T-72, among some others including (but not limited to) its relation to the Object 187 and what that vehicle was during its development, as well as what it turned into.
I recommend joining the discord server and pinging me (@drago7106og, nickname "Anna") if you want to talk further about the topic to clear up any confusion!
The early T-90s are a nuanced topic, and imo neither of us is wrong here, I just think the T-90 is more accurate.
It dosen’t matter if it’s closer to a T-90 or a T-72, the image is of a tank called “Improved T-72B”, and you are wrong if you call it T-90.
Unusually common vehicle class (if you can call it that) as the rectangle at the bottom is included with a functional turret as a stationary training rig, though repurposed for combat in more dire situations. Great post!
That is actually a T-72... T-72BM to be exact. the image comes from UVZ 80th Anniversary book.
