T-72 in Finnish service, short version:
Some 160-170 T-72M1s served in the Finnish Army. About 70 T-72M1s (one armoured brigade) were bought from the Soviet Union and were delivered in 1984, 1985-1988 and 1990. A further 97 T-72M1s (including a small number of command versions T-72M1K and T-72M1K1) were bought from German surplus stocks in 1992-1994. All tanks are now withdrawn from service and almost all have been scrapped in Jyväskylä or sold as spares to the Czech Republic.
The tank:
The T-72 is a Soviet second-generation main battle tank that entered production in 1971. About 20,000 T-72 tanks were built, making it one of the most widely produced post-World War II tanks, second only to the T-54/55 family. The T-72 was widely exported and saw service in 40 countries and in numerous conflicts.
The T-72 was the most common tank used by the Warsaw Pact from the 1970s until the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. It was also exported to other countries. Licensed versions of the T-72 were made in Poland and Czechoslovakia, for Warsaw Pact consumers. These tanks had better and more consistent quality of make but with inferior armour, lacking the resin-embedded ceramics layer inside the turret front and glacis armour, replaced with all steel.
History in Finland:
During the 60's and 70's the Finnish land force's fist was one the Armored Brigade, which main battle tanks were T-54's and T-55's delivered from 1959 to 1972. During 1975-1977, The parliaments defense commitee proposed the renovation of armored equipment. The next committee left its memo in 1981, which suggested acquiring armor from the USSR, utilizing possible bilateral trade.
In December 1979 a delegation was sent to examine the T-72, first in theory at Malinovski armor academy and in practice at Vystrel. Memos from both trips review the T-72 very suitable for the FDF's usage, and to be a vast improvement in contrast to the T-55, but it was also considered to demand more service due its complexity. The buying process was initially started, but during may 1983 the Soviet counterpart notified for the Finns surprise that more modern, T-72M and T-72MK-tanks would be available. Later the acquisition refined to apply T-72M1 and T-72M1K's.
The first 15 T-72M1's and T-72M1K's of the order of 60 tanks, crossed to border on a railbed 13.12.1984 and were transfered to Siikakangas depot for acceptance and modifications. The new vehicles and its systems were put on several tests during 1985 in order to examine and clarify its features and performances. The tanks were localized with Finnish light package for road usage, Finnish plates in instruments, fire extinguisher and such minor things. The first batch on tanks, 3 T-72M1's and one T-72M1K was delivered from depot to the Armored Brigade in May, where they were used in public presentation and in additional training for the brigade staff.
The experiences with the T-72M1 in the FDF were mixed in their nature, when compared to our other tank at the time, the T-55M. The tactical mobility of the T-72 superior, but it suffered from its slow reverse speed in typical fire position action. It had less daily maintenance subjects and adjustments than the T-55, but the final drives in the sprockets was noticed to wear prematurely. 2E28M stabilizer, the autoloader and the sighting complex TPD-K1 suffered from small defects and malfunctions thru the lifespan. The ammunition provided to the T-72M1 was outdated, especially the 3BM15 APFSDS lacked performance. As for Fire Control Systems, the differences were such big in favor of the T-55M that it not a huge wrong to declare that the T-72M1 did not have one.

Why did Finland buy so much Soviet equipment? T-72's, BMP's, Mig-21's etc

[@jacobhill3302]

Beauties. Properly crewed and utilized t-72s are no joke. Anything less than main battle tanks are going to have a bad day.

[@stateservant]

Anything, if crewed and utilized properly will mean business.

[@Balnazzardi]

Well ofc they can be used even on modern battlefield agaisnt IFVs and infrantry....and if they are modernized, they can be used even against other MBTS....
But Finland made 100% the right decision to scrap most of its T-72s back in the day....only these few were kept in the tank museum for showcases like this. Even Leo 2A4 was in every way superior to T72 and ofc Leo 2A6s even more so. Modernizing T72s would have been way too expensive and senseless in comparison.
But its good thing these beasts were kept in store, T72 is without a doubt beauty if you can say that about a tank and definitely one of the most iconic tanks ever, especially without all the most modern upgrades.

[@jacobhill3302]

Yep a really streamlined efficient design. T-55 and T-62 were good for their time too. T-64 might as well have been a spaceship haha

[@Balnazzardi]

@Jim Smithers Ye exactly....its just that some have said Finland should have kept T-72s in store even just for infrantry support but we have some 100 BMP2s and 100 CV90s for that purpose

[@Balnazzardi]

@Jim Smithers ye it just comes to question of maintaining them and the cost of that. There is no sense to keep old tanks in storage if in case of war they are not ready for service/dont have spare parts for repairs

[@rsconrado]

[@ninaakari5181]

Wow now I just realized that the tank crew carried their tents, stoves, water, equipment on their tanks! So basically they were independent from supply train, carrying all they need for weeks with them, if doesn't need to reload extra ammo

[@Tankspotting]

Refueling would be nice, though ;-) But yes, the crew carries their personal equipment in the tank. Fuel & ammo & more food every now and then would be nice of course.

[@amadeokomnenus1414]

Why did Finland buy so much Soviet equipment? Curious because it was bought during the Cold War

[@Tankspotting]

Politics and good deals. When the older western tanks needed replacing the trade situation with Soviet Union was economically favorable, and the Soviet equipment could be negotiated for a good price. Soviet stuff was also easily available. The vehicles did need quite a bit of modifications and upgrades to western standards, but they were still a good deal.

[@Old_8_gauge]

My thought: because NATO is far away, and the HUGE neighbor next door had cheaper ones.

[@hannuhjelm2596]

Bilateral trade is one of the reasons..

[@1stMemberEver]

I think we should have saved and preserved those T-72s, given the situation in Ukraine. I served in Parolannummi panzer grenadier/ armor infantry regirement in 1996.

[@NorceCodine]

Unfortunately especially in the Finnish environment of dense forests, ambushing tanks with modern shoulder-fired anti-tank missiles is a child's play. The Netherlands decommissioned its entire tank force of Leopards and Britain is doing the same, a soldier armed with the latest generation of anti-tank missile launcher can wipe out an entire tank-unit from a foxhole.
