Not sure how many there were, but I've seen one in olive green with various Arabic slogans on it and carrying a ZU-23-2 in the back on a news reel. Then there are the usual pick-ups with a DSHK on a pintle and pick-ups towing the ZPU-4 on its wheels (while the gunners tried to operate it!).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5353744029116397730.post-18281457061464726752010-09-26T13:53:41.173-04:002010-09-26T13:53:41.173-04:00Can't help you there but it is likely to be th...Can't help you there but it is likely to be the T72M.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5353744029116397730.post-60364079224707080422010-09-26T10:24:32.216-04:002010-09-26T10:24:32.216-04:00My assumption is it is the T-72M and not the T-72 ...My assumption is it is the T-72M and not the T-72 Ural or the T-72A.Jon Yuenglinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18140492307166591621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5353744029116397730.post-70677041413071699682010-09-26T06:52:53.523-04:002010-09-26T06:52:53.523-04:0081st Armoured Brigade was the Syrian unit with the...81st Armoured Brigade was the Syrian unit with the T-72 btw.

It was the open top version too!<br /><br />I might be wrong but I'm sure the M113 TOGA was built in response to the Israeli 'experience' in Lebanon, even though it appears in books on it.<br /><br />The T-72 did make its appearance in the Lebanon War, as tacobat says. It equipped at least one independent armoured brigade in the Bekaa Valley. Nine were lost in an ambush near Jabl Baruk to a TOW unit... there's a pic here http://uploaded.fresh.co.il/20040312224116T-72.jpg<br /><br />The vehicle on the right is a ACRV2, so that's another you can add to the list!<br /><br />Great blog!
