T-72 CURRUS - Hungary’s first full on modernisation of a tank

Interesting, thanks. I never knew that Belarus sold the T-72A with K-1 to Hungary in 1996. Here’s another candidate to be added to the research branch

If I am correct these were selected as part of the payment for the Soviet dept. Paid back in military tech.

Hm, to be honest, don’t think so. In those days, Russia took on all the debts by agreement of the parties, but here Belarus itself sold them to Hungary. I think that Hungary simply had a need, for the purpose of ensuring security

Yep, i was wrong there. In 1996 Hungary purchased 100 T-72 mbt’s in 5 different versions from Belorussia

Hungary and Finland should both get their ERA armor upgraded T-55 and T-72, hopefully foldered. +1

Would be great to finally get a squadron vehicle for the Italian tree, this would be a great choice for that. 10.0 or 10.3 BR would fit it nicely, but I can see it running along the Hungarian TT Leo 2A4 at 10.7 as well.

This is a very good addition, I hope it can be added to the game as soon as possible.
