In 2013, Russia began applying the B3 upgrade to older T-72 tanks. The upgrade included a new engine, fire-control system, and gunner's sight. By 2020, almost 600 T-72s had been upgraded to B3 standards. The vehicle has seen extensive use in the invasion of Ukraine.
Zvezda just released a 1/72 scale kit of the T-72B3. The kit is finely molded in gray plastic and features excellent detail.
