In addition, according to the Twitter account Oryx, it was stated that the tank is the 80th tank captured intact by Azerbaijan and with the tanks captured intact, Azerbaijan ended the Nagorno-Karabakh war with more tanks than the day the war erupted.
This Armenian T-72AV has the dubious honour of being the 80th tank visually confirmed to have been captured intact by Azerbaijan.
By now it's safe to say that Azerbaijan finished the Nagorno-Karabakh war with more tanks than it started with. pic.twitter.com/QmfzrUZXtP
