During the Iran-Iraq War, the tank forces of Iraq relied on Soviet-designed vehicles. Some samples of T-72 tanks were upgraded with the help of Chinese developments. Rossiyskaya Gazeta told about the modernization of Soviet tanks.

Despite the difficult relations between the Soviet Union and China, Iraq simultaneously used the achievements of the two countries. The T-72 Ural and T-72M1 were used simultaneously with the Chinese Type-59-I and Type-69-IIG.

Later, elements of Chinese machines were used on the Iraqi T-72. Soviet tanks were equipped with Chinese-made side screens, which increased the protection of combat vehicles. Standard aluminum screens were replaced with Chinese parts.

Iraqi T-72s were also equipped with Chinese-made optical interference generators. The publication notes that these systems are considered a simplified analogue of the optical-electronic counteraction complex "Curtain". The publication emphasizes that Chinese developments caused the advantage of Iraqi tankers during the confrontation with Iran.

Earlier, The Drive publication commented on the modernization of Russian T-72 tanks. The publication suggested that the screens at the top of the tower are designed to protect tanks from barraging ammunition and drones.

In October, the DPRK Central Telegraph Agency showed a new tank. The pictures show a car that is considered a hybrid of the American M1 Abrams tank and the Russian Armata.
