T-72 vs Leopard 1A5: Trash vs Quality?
In 1990 the Bundeswehr made an investigation if the T-72 could replace the Leopard 1 A5. In this video we look at the report from back then. Various parts of the report seem a bit off particularly about the T-72, as such I note why I think they are off and add additional information for context on other parts.
