Talk:T-72 operators and variants
Appearance
T-72 in Israel
Unlike T-54/55/62, the T-72 was never adopted by the IDF. Moreover, as far as I know, Israeli forces didn't capture any T-72 in 1982. Apparently, the tank was only used in combat in the last days of the war and none remained in in the territory controlled by Israel. Apparently there was at least one attempt to recover a damaged tank, but it failed. The tank in Latrun is not a captured Syrian vehicle, it was bought somewhere in Eastern Europe in 1990s.

- Since there's no reference supporting this, I've removed Israel from the operators. —Michael Z. 2008-10-04 16:06 z
North Korea
How much T-72 the North Korean Army has? Why aren't they listed here?
