Demonstratie cu T-72 finlandeze

Filmari din timpul showului din 2017 realizat la Parola Armour Museum / Parolan panssarimuseo Kevätsawutus.

Finlandezii au avut in jur de 160 de tancuri T-72, cumparate in mai multe loturi, acum toate fiind retrase si majoritatea vandute sau date la fier vechi.

Ce spun cei de la Tankspotting despre experienta finlandezilor cu T-72M1:

„The experiences with the T-72M1 in the FDF were mixed in their nature, when compared to our other tank at the time, the T-55M. The tactical mobility of the T-72 superior, but it suffered from its slow reverse speed in typical fire position action. It had less daily maintenance subjects and adjustments than the T-55, but the final drives in the sprockets was noticed to wear prematurely. 2E28M stabilizer, the autoloader and the sighting complex TPD-K1 suffered from small defects and malfunctions thru the lifespan. The ammunition provided to the T-72M1 was outdated, especially the 3BM15 APFSDS lacked performance. As for Fire Control Systems, the differences were such big in favor of the T-55M that it not a huge wrong to declare that the T-72M1 did not have one. ”

Dintre ale noastre T-72, a mai ramas macar unul in stare sa se miste asa? Macar cel de la muzeu?
