"The Warsaw Pact based its military planning for a war with NATO on a rapid offensive. Columns of heavy tanks, such as this T-72, along with tactical nuclear weapons, air power, and saboteurs and commandos, would quickly punch through the defences, defeating NATO before US-based forces or European reserve units could be brought into the fight. The Canadian Forces acquired this T-72 in 1992, one of eight acquired from the former East Germany for use as a practice target for weapons testing." Reference: ( visit link) See also: ( visit link)
