M-84 Main battle tank

[Dusan]

Hello a few pictures of M-84 Main battle tank...

The M-84 is based on the Soviet T-72 but with several modifications, including a domestic fire-control system,
improved composite armor, and a 1000-hp engine. The M-84 entered service with the Yugoslav People's Army in 1984.
The improved M-84A version entered service a few years later. more on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M-84

M-84 and M-80A

Thanks for looking!
All the best!

Thank you. I see the M-80 is still in use. Note that the M-85 uses the older type (8 spoke) T-72 road wheel variant.

Saul, Luiz You are welcome! :drinks

Yes BVP M-80A is still in use. They upgraded only some minor parts on engine, older one were kicked out of its use and few probably overhauled in "Technical Overhaul Institute". Also there is a few prototypes without the turret and with one naked FF 30mm gun. (like Israel modification). here at this location, I managed to count 36 M-80A. I can upload a full walkaround of M-80. I also will add a few more "small" detail pictures of M-84.

All the best!
