Ex-Soviet or Chinese t-72. One of Saddam's army tanks.

Even the Abrams that have been disabled have not had the turrent knocked off. But that would appear to be the work of an Abrams - looks like a T-55 based upon tread height.

Looks like a Soviet built T-72. The Old Iraqi regime bought alot of these. As you can tell they didn't hold up too well against our Bradly's armed with TOW missiles or our M-1 Main Battle tanks.
