TO quote "The Longest Day":

"Up the action boys, up the action!"

P.S. The T-72 was also useless in the first Gulf War.

For all everyone says about the T-72 when has it ever done well in battle? Didn't the Israeli's in reworked M60's whip some of them in the Yom Kippur war? I also think our marines in M60's beat some of them in GWI.
I don't know of any that have done well against modern western tanks...EVER. Except maybe the M60's the Iranians had were beat by the Iraqi T-72's... but they were used by the Iranians, 'nough said.

The T-72's when driven by Soviets might have been a tough tank but are not used well by their clients.
