The T-72A is an upgraded version of the legendary Soviet T-72 main battle tank, designed and produced since the 1970s. Tanks of this family became the backbone of the USSR's armored forces, and their numerous variants were exported to many countries in the Eastern Bloc as well as the Middle East, Asia, and Africa. The T-72A featured improved composite armor and modernized optical equipment and fire-control systems. It was introduced into the Soviet Army in the late 1970s. T-72A tanks took part in many conflicts, including the Afghan War (1979-1989), the Gulf War, conflicts in the Caucasus, and the wars in the former Yugoslavia.
