I'am new here at the forum. My interests are main battle tank wrecks and relics and keeping track of them in a database. Also the cold war period and especially the Soviets in East Germany and other WP stated have my interest.

They were also deployed in Soviet/Russian units, below a link with a picture of a Soviet T-72 in former Czechoslovakia. The type designation is wrong BTW.

Comrade! You'll find that all vehicles delivered to the NVA, regardless from which fraternal socialist brothers, were first sent to a depot and "Germanised". Therefore one can only really tell by the standard of Germanification when they entered service, and with a little luck and expedient research, whence they originated. It was rumoured that the socialist brothers of the NVA had changed the T-72 so much, that they were not 100% compatible with those from their peace-loving socialist neighbours, and infinitely better than those used by GSFG.

I'am afraid no NVA T-72 is compatible with tanks in the GSFG (or WGF as they were named later on) since there were no Soviet/Russian T-72 in the GSFG/WGF. In Czechoslovakia were indeed some Soviet/Russian T-72 with ERA bricks and probably in Poland also. But not in the GSFG/WGF.

Maybe it is that English is not my native language but the origin of the vehicle is quit easy. Just look at the serialnumber and you know the production year, production month, in some cases the variant and the country of origin.
