"The Defense Ministry has suggested upgrading the T-72 tank. It means that the tank’s service life will be extended by another 15 years. Its service life may equal 70 years," he said. For now, the T-72 tank’s service life equals 46 years, Khalitov added.
"To tell the truth, we don’t know when we will dispose of the T-72 tank," the deputy CEO said. |
