Thanks for the analysis. I am better educated on what these tanks can do now compared to what we used to have.

The T-72 is a Soviet second-generation main battle tank
that entered production in 1971. [6] About 20,000 T-72
tanks were built, [7] making it one of the most widely
produced post–World War II tanks, second only to the
T-54/55 family. The T-72 was widely exported and saw
service in 40 countries and in numerous conflicts. Improved
variants are still being built for export customers.
Development
T-64
The development of the T-72 was a direct result of the
introduction of the T-64 tank. The T-64 (Object 432) was a
very ambitious project to build a competitive tank with a
weight of not more than 36 tonnes under the direction of
Alexander Morosov in Kharkov. [8] To achieve that goal the
crew was reduced to three soldiers, saving the loader by
introducing an automated loading system. This and other
steps allowed a reduced weight, but caused problems when
looking for a reliable engine to fit in the smaller hull. [9]
The production of the T-64 with a 115-mm gun began in
1964, but plans to build the T-64A with a more powerful
125-mm gun had already been made back in 1963. [10]
Problems with the first batch of T-64 tanks were centred
around the 5TDF 700 hp engine and the auto loading
mechanism. The engine was unreliable, [11] difficult to
mend and only had a guaranteed life span of a World War 2
era tank engine. [12]
A strong lobby around designer Morosov advocated for the
T-64 in Moscow, preventing rivalling developments and
ideas to be discussed. [13][14]
Detour: mobilization model
A mobilisation model of the T-64 with the cheaper and
much more reliable V-45 engine (780 hp) was to be
developed by Uralvagonzavod , since the Malyshev Factory
in Kharkov could not provide a sufficient amount of 5TDF
engines for all Soviet tank factories in wartime. [15]
The 5TDF was too complex and its production twice as
costly as the V-45 engine. [16] In 1967 the Uralvagonzavod
formed "Section 520", which was to prepare the serial
production of the T-64 for 1970. [17] The team soon found
out that the more powerful V-45 engine put a lot of stress
on the fragile T-64 hull, so that after some time cracks
started to materialize. A more stable solution had to be
found. [15]
Finally, an idea from 1960 was used, when a modification
of the T-62 had been discussed: In 1961 two prototypes of
"Object 167" had been built by Uralvagonzavod to test a
more powerful hull and running gear combination for that
tank. Under influence from Kharkov the idea had been
turned down by Moscow. [18] But this construction, with its
big, rubbercoated roadwheels now formed the basis for the
"mobilisation model" of the T-64. [19]
Additional changes were made to the automatic loading
system, which also was taken from an earlier project,
originally intended for a T-62 upgrade. Ammunition ,
consisting of a separate projectile and a propellant charge
was now stored horizontally on two levels, not vertically on
one level like in the T-64. [20] It was said to be more
reliable than the T-64 autoloader. [19] In 1964 two 125-mm
guns of the D-81 type had been used to test their
installation in the T-62, so the Ural plant was ready for
adopting the 125-mm calibre for the T-64A as well. [21]

MBTs aren't as mobile as IFVs thus they are prone to be isolated and overran.Little reason why they are used as mobile artillery units in specific battle scenarios...but an IFV especially a BMP is well suited to a mobile war which aptly connotes this current insurgency..it combines the speed and agility of a race car to the armour and fire power of a Tank although not completely(BMPs now come issued with standard ATGMs and TOWs).

Hello Mr Rikidony, please to which Nigerian company did the Army award the contract to supply these T-72 Tanks? I am aware that they were procured from Excalibur Army in Czech Republic, however, I am sure that the Nigerian Army wouldn't award the contract directly to Excalibur Army in Europe. They would have awarded the contract to a Nigerian company, which then contracted with Excalibur Army for the supply. Please, do you know the Nigerian company?
