The M-84 main battle tank is essentially the Soviet T-72, produced under license. However it has a number of Yugoslavian sub-systems. Production of the M-84 MBT began in 1983 and first vehicles entered service in 1984. By 1992 over 600 of the M-84 MBTs have been built. Currently it is operational with some countries of former Yugoslavia and Kuwait.
The M-84 is armed with a 125-mm smoothbore gun, fitted with an autoloader. This MBT is completed with Yugoslavian fire control system.
Secondary armament consists of coaxial 7.62-mm machine gun and another 12.7-mm MG mounted on top of the roof.
