History of T-72M1:

The T-72 is a Soviet second-generation main battle tank that entered production in 1971. About 20,000 T-72 tanks were built, making it one of the most widely produced post–World War II tanks, second only to the T-54/55 family. The T-72 was widely exported and saw service in 40 countries and in numerous conflicts.

The development of the T-72 was a direct result of the introduction of the T-64 tank. The T-64 (Object 432) was a very ambitious project to build a competitive well-armoured tank with a weight of not more than 36 tons. Under the direction of Alexander Morozov in Kharkov a new design emerged with the hull reduced to the minimum size possible. To do this, the crew was reduced to three soldiers, removing the loader by introducing an automated loading system.
T-72 was a "mobilization variant" - it has much simpler engine and autoloader compared to T-64, also it use the same hull, but chassis was taken from canceled Object 167M (T-62B).
T-72 shares many design features with other tank designs of Soviet origin. Some of these are viewed as deficiencies in a straight comparison to NATO tanks, but most are a product of the way these tanks were envisioned to be employed, based on the Soviets' practical experiences in World War II.

The T-72M models was created for export and basically was a simplified version of simplified tank. First T-72M got combined armor only for frontal hull plate - turret was made of cast steel. It was based on original T-72 "Ural" tank, but some things was simplified, like sights, turret rotation mechanisms, ammo, engine etc.
T-72M1 was based on late T-72A models, so it have combined armor for turret, laser rangefinder and have additional armor plate on hull front - it was installed on late T-72A, to achieve protection against israeli 105mm APFSDS "Hetz' and early 120mm rounds.
