	Lion of Babylon tank - Biocrawler
		The Lion of Babylon tank (Asad Babil) is an Iraqi-made tank which is a version of the Soviet T-72 tank.
		The Asad Babil was generally credited as being the most common tank in Iraqi service during the first Persian Gulf War (1990-91), but that "honor" goes, in fact, to the Type 69, produced in China.
		Much to the distress of Russian armaments designers, many of the failings of the Iraqi armies were blamed upon the T-72, with little note that the vehicle itself was an Iraqi copy of an export model, and nowhere near its Soviet counterpart in capability.

	Lion of Babylon tank - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Lion of Babylon tank (Asad Babil) is an Iraqi-built version of the Soviet T-72 tank MBT (main battle tank), assembled in a factory established in the 1980s near Taji, north of Baghdad.
		The tank is equipped with additional armour at the front and rear as protection against missile attacks.
		Even in the hands of competent crewmen, the Lion of Babylon is utterly outclassed by the M1 Abrams, as was demonstrated in both Gulf Wars, and almost certainly by every other contemporary Western main battle tank as well.

	T-72 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Western tanks such as the Leopard 2, the Leclerc, and the M1 Abrams, publicly specified for the capability to defend against a feared Soviet/Warsaw Pact invasion of NATO, exhibit significant offensive capabilities that could serve a preemptive strike as well as a defence including local counterattack.
		These Western tanks' higher on-board ammunition capacity and greater armour protection may well have convinced habitually frugal Warsaw Pact strategists that they were not designed exclusively to fight from well-prepared positions in which additional ammunition could be stowed outside the tank turret (and from which a cheaper antitank solution might have nearly as much effect).
		In this rear view, stowage bins and wading snorkel are visible on the turret, and a tow cable and ditching beam hang from the hull rear.

	Iraqi Ground Forces Equipment
		It appears that the Soviet technique used by the Iraqis of digging their tanks in only leaving the turret exposed, was a primary cause of the loss of so many tanks.
		And when the U.S. tanks streamed around the front lines from the West, the buried tanks were unable to dig out and move quickly, thus defeating their purpose as a highly mobile high caliber gun.
		This "Lion of Babylon" tank was produced locally, and the technology was Iraqi.

		Babylon Boyz was published in the U.S. as a hardcover "young-adult" book by Simon & Schuster in 1997, and seems to have done fairly well-- it is currently being reprinted in trade-paper format.
		Set among the rough streets of a modern Babylon, this is ultimately a story about family, friendship, love, and of kids living in poverty and victimized by drugs but still trying to make the right choices in their lives.
		All three harbor dreams of escaping Babylon, and those dreams seem within reach when the boys recover a cocaine-filled suitcase discarded by a dealer on the run.

	The Lion, The Bear, & The Leopard
		The first great beast was "...like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld until the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it."
		It is instructive to note that the British lion is usually seen standing up on its two hind feet precisely the way the prophecy states The figure shown in figure I is an actual rendering of a genuine British heraldic coat of arms.
		This dark characterization of the devouring beast is in stark contrast to the humane lion before it, and again strengthens the identification of the beast kingdoms with the modem states that impacted the emergence of the state of Israel.

		Although the tank commander may override the gunner and traverse the turret, he cannot fire the main gun from his position.
		Perhaps the most curious feature was the estimate of only 200-300 T-72 tanks, since the initial stock of about 1,000 was largely deployed by the Republican Guard units that appeared to have suffered the fewest losses during the '91 ground campaign.
		Tanks in Iraq included the T-69 Chinese Main Battle Tank that had been modified with a 125mm gun to upgrade its firepower to the level of a T-72, while reducing the crew size to three.

		The tank was deployed within the U.S.S.R. and exported to non-Soviet Warsaw Pact armies and several other countries.
		Since the Iraqi T-72M1 was of higher quality than most of Iraq's other tanks, Iraqi President Saddam Hussein made sure that many T-72M1s survived the Gulf War by allocating the tanks to his Republican Guard and evacuating them before the allies launched their main offensive in Kuwait in February 1991.
		When the beam hits a target, a small fraction of the transmitted light is reflected directly back along the path it was sent toward the tank, where it passes through an optical system to a receiver that is sensitive to the laser's frequency.

	The Owner's Manual: May 14, 2006 - May 20, 2006 (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The fact that most Soviet designed tanks and aircraft engaged by western forces during the last decades were actually monkey models must be kept in mind when trying to assess the capabilities of real Soviet era equipment versus those of contemporary western designs.
		A good example of this is the dismal performance of Iraqi T-72 models during the Gulf War and the 2003 Invasion of Iraq.
		This discrepancy can be explained by the fact that the Iraqi operated a mix of monkey models and their own locally produced version, the Lion of Babylon tank, and used substandard ammunition (it has been claimed that in some cases even training ammunition was used) for their guns.
