India Retires T-72 Tanks: A New Era with Future Ready Combat Vehicles
The Indian army has finally come to its senses and will move on from the Soviet-era T-72 tanks it has in abundance.
It announced last year that it will retire hundreds of the Russian main battle tanks. The Indians have operated a variant of the T-72 since the 1970s.
It is difficult to believe that the armored vehicle has endured such a long service record, so the Indians are correct to begin removing the tanks from active service.
The Indians have many T-72s called the “Ajeya” version. There are a whopping 2,414 Ajeyas that have been in service for decades. It is almost like India forgot that its tanks were so old.
