THE T-72 - THE WORKHORSE OF THE RUSSIAN ARMY

L20230166
€28.34
Born in the early 1970s, the T-72 very quickly became the backbone of Soviet armoured divisions in the second half of the Cold War.

The last great battle of the Second World War. " Typhoon of Steel ". That is the name by which the Battle of Okinawa is known.
