Default T-72

Canada acquired some east German T-72's as mentioned earlier. Some were shot at and we were able to get one or two up as runners for Op For purposes. The 12e RBC has a crew of guys who maintained the 1 in Valcartier that was on loan. It was used in the French Canadian series Op Tango a story about our time in Bosnia - a 3 part series. We also used it for car crushes and as a static display at the regiment before it was returned to CFB Gagetown. We had a few guys who knew all the ins and outs of this machine. I was pretty cool on my Pre 6A (Sgts Course) to go up against it when practicing fire and movement.
