T-64A M1972 model – history and usage

The T-64A is one of the most important Soviet designs after World War II. The model replicates the early variant, produced from 1972. The tank entered service with the Soviet Army during the Cold War period and was later used by Ukrainian forces and other post-Soviet countries. The T-64A participated in, among others, Warsaw Pact military exercises and local conflicts in Eastern Europe. It was distinguished by its, for the time, modern composite armor and a powerful 125 mm smoothbore gun.
