Can anyone Preise enlighten me where Dänemark got those T72s from? I know sometimes old soviel era armor ends up in NATO countries, but couldn’t find anything about danish T72s.
I don’t remember Denmark specifically, but Germany had more than 500 from ex-GDR stocks. Most were sold to northern Europe or other countries in the 90s, a few went to the US for analysis, some were gifted to museums and the rest was trashed.
Germany alone got more than 500 from re-uniting that were sold in the 90’s mostly to countries operating them that could or would not buy more from the original source (I remember Finland in particular).

they arent exactly illegal to buy and sell mate
they probably decided to buy them
So presumably from some ex-Warsaw-Pact-now-NATO countries, of which there are quite a few.
