Does Iraq use BRDM-2s still or have they been replaced by the M1117s?

T-80s are really expensive to take care. it has better protection yes but you got to include the maintence and so forth

I think the picture above belong to the type-69.

But the protection level worth it plus the capability to fight at night worth it too.

I read few years ago that this tank survived like 14 hit by rpg's during the Chehchen war.

Plus the price for it is affordable.

maybe they brought the T-72 because it was cheap to buy and also cheap to run plus iraqi army has a lot of experience when it comes to T-72 , other than that i see no point to get something that old , even the T-80 or any other tank till this day survived this type of chaotic wars
