T-62's > T-72 when working in mountains. Thats why you can find T-62M's operating in the khavkaz.

@PATRONSKiii i'll agree with this statement Russian Armor has never faced off against Nato armor in combat. I would say however that Western Tank crews are most likely better trained then their Russian counterparts due to the whole mess with the Russian army after the collapse. The problem with the modern Russian tank the T-90 is there is only several hundred of them and i would say they are equal to the M1A2 post Iraq. But the Numerical advantage gives the Abrams the edge.

@spyderc85 nato tanks (primarily israeli centurian,and u.s m60) faced off against soviet tanks during the october war,..1973..

egypt and syria attacked israel on yom kippour.. some of the largest tank battles occured at that time that in some cases rivaled the battle of kursk. google the battles of the golan heights..or the battle of chinese farm.. cheers mate.

The T72 was mostly an export tank. The baby NATO would have been more concerned about was the T64. The two are superficially very similar but the T64 was a major advancement with many new features. The Soviets tended to keep the best stuff in reserve but the T72 seems to have equipped many Warsaw Pact allies. The T62 was a tank of its day and I guess it is adequate when most other armies have/had T54/55s or even still T34s as was in Angola.

@PATRONSKiii ya i just read about the ammo that was given out for the T-72M yeah inferior might be an understatement. I'll agree 100% about the crews. Althought there are reports that Iraqi Republican Guard Lion of Babylon tanks seemed to have laminate armor on the front slopes. the majority were prob T-72M but there were some that were modified using Foregin optics prob Chinese. So they werent up to Russian standards but they werent stripped down T-72Ms either.

The T-90 is one hell of a tank

BUT

there just is not enough of them....

the Indians with downgraded models have more T-90s than there are in Russia itself.

@spyderc85 Iraqi T72 not that much different to russian ones ? It's a joke I hope, iraqi had no modern armour, no decent ammunition, end-lifed barrels, 500 000$ of optics and optronics removed from orginal one to have them cheaper, poor motors, and ahead everything, poor crews, terrible tactics and were vastly outnumbered. A real russian T72B is an other world, not even considering the crew and tactics quality.

@PATRONSKiii its hard to make that conclusion the 120MM gun of the Abrams is up there and the longer barreled 120mm gun of the Leapord 2 which is rumored to be going in the M1A3 is i think defenitly comparable to the Russian 125mm

[spyderc85]

@PATRONSKiii You can't say Russian Tanks are the best, the older ones have horrible track records in combat, and the newer ones i.e. T-80, T-90 have never really been tested against anything except older soviet design Tanks. The T-72 for example has a horrible track record against the Challenger, Abrams, and M60A3. Yea they were Russian tanks but Iraqi but still its a T-72 and not that much different from the Russian equipped ones.
