The T-72 and T-90 Tank

This book is a follow on to an earlier Concord book, T-72 (1004) that was first published in 1989. It brings the story up to date with coverage of the many new versions of this famous tank. The T-72 is the most widely produced main battle tank in the world today, and is being manufactured in 5 countries in a remarkable number of variants. In view of the bad reputation that the T-72 had received in the 1991 Gulf War and in Chechnya, the Russian plant renamed the newest versions of the T-72 as the T-90. A lot of variants are being developed in both the T-72 and T-90, including main battle tank, combat support vehicles, and special purpose vehicles. Among the T-72 and T-90 variants featured in this book are T-72S, T-72 Banan, T-72AG, T-72MP, PT-91, T-72M2, T-72M4, T-72 Ajeya, M-95, T-90, T-90S, T-90M, BMPT, A-40, TOS-1, BMR-3, BMR-3M, IMR-2MA, IMR-3MA, MID, MTU-72, BREM-1, and VT-72B. There are many spectacular action shots of the different variants in action, and there are close-up interior shots of the T-90 for the modelers.
