But soon it appears Ukraine will be receiving 58 modernized T72M tanks from Hungary.

 

Hungary has sold the tanks in a deal with Excalibur Defense LTD. As a signing member to the Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe (CFE Treaty), Hungary must comply with the regulations and its own laws. However, as a private 3rd party, Excalibur is not bound by the treaty, and is free to sell the tanks on to Ukraine.

I do not see any sign of modernization in the picture however.

I don't even see any sign of a T-72M in the picture :P

 

AFAIK Hungary operate(s/d) the following versions: T-72 (Russian, Czech, Polish origin), T-72A/T-72AV (Belorussian), T-72M (Polish), T-72M1 (Polish). Could it be any of the listed?

The flat wagon is Hungarian, at least.

According to this article the tanks are just the M variant. http://www.defenseindustrydaily.com/hungary-sells-t-72-tanks-to-026666/

I'm rather surprised at the ERA coverage of these T-72B3 tanks. It seems awfully poor unless there's some kind of integral ERA coverage on the glacis? What about the side skirts etc? Compare that with the earlier T-72B and there's a massive difference.

Interesting how on this real life picture the details of the glacis aren't stand out. This picture shows more details, I think those huge bolts are there for purpose.

Does anybody actually ride inside these things? :unsure: I remember the description of what it is like to ride inside in the book RED ARMY, but this is absurd.

 

Due to the effective enemy artillery fire, they should.
