Is the Iraqi Type 69-II Tank a T-72? Were the ones the Iraqis used a Russian or Chinese manufacture? Thanks.

The Type-69II is a Chinese copy, indirectly, of a T-54A. The Type 69II is an improved version of the Type 59, which is a copy of the T-54A. IIRC the Iraqi's refer to it as a T-55B or some such?
Hope this helps
