Vehicle shown in the video wasn't T-72 Battle Tank as in description. Looks for me like some military engineering vehicle

The BBC are really poor these days. It's an East European tank so it must be a T-72 whereas it's an engineering utility vehicle and in that type of snow it's not a bad idea to use army engineering resources - good practice and all that.

We're lucky it wasn't described as a T34.

BBC Tank Database:

Warsaw Pact Tanks = T34
Nato Tanks = Churchill

Other Tanks = Tiger

and thats it, N.

Looks like a BTR-50 derivative.

I'm completely lost....

Did BBC just mistaken that vehicle for a T-72? Because its so obvious that there's not even a turret on it....unless they took the turret off and made space to use it as a utility vehicle.

And the lesson here is: don't let BBC journalists (or any journalist) near AT weapons.:lol:
