T-72 White Eagle for Nicaragua

Pictures of the work carried out on T-72 acquired by Nicaragua have appeared in VK network. Back in 2015 Nicaragua acquired 50 T-72 White Eagle. Information was posted in my blog (link). The work is being done in the Armoured Repair Plant 61, based in Saint Petersburg.

Photos 1 and 2: Work on the hulls.

Commander's position. Note two screens.

The vehicles can be easily identied by the panoramic camera isntalled behind the commander's hatch. This version is the most advanced in terms of FCS, but ERA armour and engine is kept. There is no evidence that the armamento or engine has been modified.
