Join David Willey as he discusses the T-72, a Soviet era main battle tank which first entered production in 1971. The T-72’s service life has proven to be extremely successful. With about 20,000 produced, it has seen service with over 40 countries, and thanks to refurbishment, is still in service to this very day.

    Kid: yo, that girl is stacked David Wiley: rather well built
  • @ComradeBenedict
    "Well-built American country singer" now that's tact if I've ever heard it
  • There have been so many T-72s that have been modified by different countries and released into the wild that they are becoming wildly different from one another; soon speciation will occur and they will lose the ability to interbreed and we may see a decline in some of the migratory populations.
  • @ToEuropa
    "A creditable piece of kit" may just be the most British phrase I've ever heard. I've watched many of these "Tank Chats" and I'll watch many more. I'm learning a lot.

    Obsolete or not. The T-72 is one damn aesthetically pleasing vehicle. The quintessential tank.
  • @jakedee4117
    Coincidentally Dolly Parton is now known as the T-72 of country music.
  • @bigblue6917
    Just imagine being tasked with trying to write a definitive reference book on the T-72 and all it variants. Mind suitably boggled
  • @davidcolter
    The T-72 is such a small tank, you really have to see it to appreciate how low the hull is.
  • @luvr381
    Russian tanks are happy tanks cause they got no depression.
  • @Arthurzeiro
    These low and sleek soviet tanks look too damn nice, almost like a "sportstank".
  • Impressive to talk for twenty minutes with a coral snake wrapped around your neck without sweating. Nicely done Wiley

    I am from Slovakia. When I was on compulsory military service as an electromechanic of belt and wheel combat technology. T72 was still in the workshop. The cannon's stabilization system often deteriorated. Pressure loss - hydraulic pump failure. But most t72s were hermetically preserved and stored in their garages. Only few pieces was active. It was a long time ago. Nice times.

    Very articulate bloke, speaks at a comfortable speed, really knows his stuff. A pleasure to listen to.
  • I don’t care what you all say, the T-72 is my all time favorite tank. I don’t know what it is about it but I just love this tank! It’s in so many games, you see it in movies, and it’s a real beast on the battlefield, so no matter what happens, keep the legendary T-72 alive for as long as possible
