Hi all,
I just posted to my site more than 300 pics of a former East German tank. I don't know the right model so I'd appreciate any input about this.



TIA
Olivier

That is a T-72M. 4 ribs in front of the driver, 4 KMT mounts on the lower front hull, turret is late T-72 (non-Ural but not T-72A with "bulges"). No SGL system.

However it is a museum piece, with both 6 and 8 spoke wheels.

I wasn't sure about it being a -M because of the turret which had me guess it was a late T-72.

Concerning the types of roadwheels, I'm not surprised that both of them are used on a museum tank. If I'm correct it comes from the German stock, probably some deal between Saumur Tank Museum and Munster Deutsches Panzer Museum.

Thank you for the answer Jacques.
