Historical background and use of the T-72BM tank

The T-72BM is a modernized version of the legendary T-72, distinguished by reinforced Kontakt-5 reactive armor and an improved powertrain. This tank entered the arsenal of the USSR armed forces at the end of the Cold War era (1980s), and was later used by the armed forces of the Russian Federation as well as exported to allied countries. In recent years, it played a significant role during military operations on Syrian territory, including the defense of Damascus and Aleppo, highlighting its durability and resilience on the modern battlefield.
