About 25,000 T-72 tanks were built, many of which were able to remain in service for decades due to combat upgrades.
The T-72 B was a much improved version with the 1A40-1 fire control system, thicker armour, heavily reinforced turret front and top with composite armour,20 mm thick armour on the front of the hull.
It was also equipped with the 1K13-49 system for the use of the 9M119 Svir anti-tank guided missile, a new 2A46M main gun, a new 2E42-2 stabilisation system and a new V-84-1 engine with 840 hp.
In addition, many tanks were later equipped with ERA additional armour (reactive armour).
