To finish
T-72 issue (at present state of knowledge):
From what I understood from a page
http://makettinfo.hu/index.php?jobb=...v+magyar&hash= using auto-translator, it seems, that:
- first 30 T-72 were delivered in 1978 (now unit #14 starts at 1/76). Definitely not numerous (now radio 82)
Unit #14 has FC=10, while Soviet T-72 Ural has FC=15. This model had simple FCS, so maybe the Soviets didn't simplify it more (Russian author M. Baryatynski wrote, that basic T-72 for Warsaw Pact "almost" didn't differ from Soviet ones, for other countries differed mostly in armour and NBC protection). No SD apart from fuel injected to exhaust.
- from early 80s there were bought T-72M with laser RF, produced in Poland and Czechoslovakia. First shown in 1985, so maybe 1984 will be a good starting date (their production in these countries started no earlier, than some 1982). Now unit #15 starts at 1/80. No SD.
- from second half of 80s there were delivered T-72M with SD (might be omitted)
- from late 80s there were introduced T-72M1 (I've guessed 1988-89). It should have more SD (12 tubes).
- from 1996 there were delivered more tanks from Belorussia(?), but it seems, that most of them have only provisions for mounting ERA, and were not actually fitted with them (photo 30 on the page). Most probably they are regular T-72A/M1 or AV with removed ERA.
- as for tanks with ERA, photo SDC10157 here
http://mhrfweb.makett.org/MHRF/index...mid=11&lang=en and 48 here
http://makettinfo.hu/index.php?jobb=...v+magyar&hash= and the info on the quoted page suggest, that this is actually T-72B with "Super Dolly Parton" armour, although they are known there as AV(!), but there is few of these tanks (4?)
By the way, I don't know, if the Hungarians used BTR-80 APC before Russian deliveries from 1996 - it could be verified in the future.
