Description

This tank is not on display in a public area. Please seek permission from the Muscatatuck Urban Training Center before attempting to visit its location. Our photos were taken during the MUTC annual open house event that gives the public access to the facility.

The Muscatatuck Urban Training Center is home to this Iraqi T-72M. It was captured during the first Gulf War and was originally on display at the Patton Museum in Fort Knox. The tank was reportedly operational at some point during its stay at the Patton Museum, but its current condition is unclear. It arrived at Muscatatuck for display in 2010.

It is disputed whether Iraq actually produced its own T-72 variant, known as the Asad Babil (Lion of Babylon), but the Cyrillic character at the beginning of the serial number would indicate that this tank was original Soviet production. The T-72 was mainly fielded by Iraqi Republican Guard divisions.
