Sounds like the T-72 is the B-52 of the tank world. Just keeps on keeping on, mostly because it is used against in situations where capable resistance is unlikely.

That sentance could be more confusing. ;)

The export version of the T-72B, the T-72S, is a highly upgraded variant with a new engine, a new suspension system and configured for mounting explosive reactive armour.

The BUFF would have held it's own even in "Global Thermonuclear War", the mission for which it was designed. I always thought about the only thing it really lacked was a long range air to air missile, for self defense of course. :) It could defend itself against many threats though. It would either jam their fire control, forcing any aircraft that still managed an intercept into it's own gun range, or just preemptively give ground based defenses a Hound Dog or a SRAM up their ... well you know.
