T-72 is a cheaper simplified version of T-64 which is a 1963 model tank. It came out in earlier 1970 being primary designed for third world operators. AFAIK M60 were phased in 1980s. Not that far from Gulf War. They are legacy tanks to T-72.
You are just turning things upside down. It is simply off-topic if American tanker want to ride T-72 or not. Why has he if he has more recent advanced platform?
And you still operating myths and opinions.
Russians tanks served Iraqis well against Iran using western tanks. So did Russian tanks to Indians vs Pakis.
Does it proves American tech is crap if Indian or Iraqi tankers won’t ride Patton vs T-72, let alone T-80&90?? To me it is not.
You can say adious as much as you want if you are pissed with written above but it can’t change facts.
Fact is Russian tanks are crap and you won’t admit it.
