"We hope that the T-72B3 MBT will soon appear in our Army. I think we can talk about a purchase," Juan Ernesto Vasquez Araya stated.

According to Araya, Nicaragua's army uses the Russian-made T-55 main battle tank but the military has not previously operated the T-72 variant. The T-55 is a Soviet-made main battle tank, a derivative of the T-54B, which was adopted for service in 1956 by the Russian armed forces. Currently, Nicaragua army has a total of 65 T-55 MBTs.

The T-72 was developed in the former Soviet Union and is still widely used around the world.

The T-72B3 is the latest generation of T-72 main battle tank family. The T-72B3 has significantly improved its combat characteristics with more fire power, protection, mobility and command controllability.

The main armament of the T-72B3 is a 125mm 2A46M-5 smoothbore gun fitted with a light-alloy thermal sleeve and a bore evacuator. The tank is fitted with a carousel automatic loader mounted on the turret floor and also on the rear wall of the turret.
