A total of 16 vehicles have been transported via Antonov An-225 (Mriya) aircraft from Ostrava-Mosnov airport to the end user’s location since January 26, 2015.
It would be noted that the recent success of the Nigerian Army may be attributed to use of heavy tanks for military operations in Michika and Madagali.
Boko Haram insurgents, who use ZU-23-2 anti-aircraft guns mounted on their vehicles, cannot penetrate the explosive reactive (ERA) armour of a T-72.
The terrorists have RPG-7 anti-tank hand-held grenade launchers that are able to damage the MBT. However, RPG’s firing range is 500m, while the T-72 can demolish any target from the range of 3-5km.
