Thread. The T-72 tank says goodbye to its service in the Polish Army. The decision to hand over to Ukraine about 240 tanks known as the T-72M1R means that in fact the Polish Army is finally withdrawing the T-72 tanks from the line, even if theoretically some of these vehicles will remain in the records.
This tank entered service in the Polish Army in 1978, we also bought a license for it. In the years 1981–1985, 218 T-72 tanks were produced for the Polish Army in Gliwice (the tank referred to in our army as "T-72" is a license version of the Soviet T-72A produced in Łabędy).
Then, in 1985–1986, 183 tanks called the T-72A in our army were made (in Łabędy this model was called T-72M), later in the years 1986–1991, 352 tanks T-72M1 and T-72M1D (several dozen command vehicles " D ”was delivered in 1987-1991).
In total, in the years 1981-1991, the Polish Army received 753 tanks of the T-72 series of domestic production. From 1992, the T-72 tanks were no longer purchased. Then, in 1997-2002, 140 T-72M1 and T-72A tanks were converted to PT-91M / MA1 tanks. The classic T-72 tanks remained in the WP 613.
The Polish Army entered the 21st century with around 600 T-72 tanks. In 2009, there were exactly 584 T-72 tanks (172 T-72, 135 T-72A, 254 T-72M1, 23 T-72M1D). In the same year, the AMW started selling the oldest tanks of this type abroad and for scrap.
In 2015, about 300 T-72s were still considered relatively fit for service, including mainly 254 T-72M1 tanks and 23 T-72M1D tanks. These 277 tanks were 25-30 years old at the time, while about 250 more T-72 / T-72As had already passed 30 years and had a scrap value.
The T-72 tanks were to be gradually withdrawn from the line after 2018. However, after 2015, the plans changed and in July 2019 an agreement was signed for the renovation and modernization of the "latest" 230 tanks in 2019-2025 (with an option for 90 more tanks). ). Mainly the T-72M1 / M1D was modernized.
Unofficial information about about 240 T-72M1R / M1 tanks delivered to Ukraine suggests that the Polish Army donated most of its operational T-72M1R and T-72M1 / M1D tanks to the UKR. The maximum pool of such tanks in the Polish Army was still only 277 machines (according to the official and public data of the Polish Army).
