T-72M1 question

[Koh]

Based on the apparently Finnish national markings on the side, I'd have to say that it's a T-72M1. Bought from either the USSR or alternatively ex-DDR surplus stocks.

Thanks for your reply. The photo is from a Vietnamese guy’s personal blog. He posted a bunch of pictures of armoured vehicles with the Vietnamese People’s Army. The other pictures were labelled and clearly Vietnamese. This one wasn’t. Vietnam purchased 150 T-72s from Poland in 2005. Could it be a Polish T-72M1 with the VPA?

It could of course be a Finnish T-72. The blogger may have posted a picture of a Finnish T-72 to represent a Vietnamese T-72!
