This upgrade project was called “Object 184”. In 1984, this latest T-72 variant was named T-72B. As per the Russian tradition, some of those upgraded tanks had simpler equipment and they were not capable of firing gun-launched missiles. Those tanks were called T-72B1.

A total of 3,435 tanks were produced by the Soviet between 1985 and 1989.  The T-72B1 tanks have been in service with Russian Army for a long time.
