If Costas has nothing to say, I'll post the answer

Is Dark Avenger and Costas 240 the same person.LOL
"The Ramses II upgrade program (not adopted) that involved bringing the T-55 up to the level of the M60A3 by fitting a M68 gun, new FCS, AVDS-1790 engine, new suspension and other improvements. Just visible is the Egyptian proposal for a T-34-85 modernization that involved mostly automotive improvements (engine from T-55) and sand skirts."
Yes, I am known as Dark Avenger in MP.net.

@Snakey: I also know what it is, but you go ahead with the answer.

As Kostas has no objections, here is the answer.
This is Object 187, very deep modernization of T-72B carried out in the end of 80's. It has different construction of front plate, new gun and FCS, several versions of engines, new dynamic armour, new welded turret (a version of which was later used on Object 188 aka T-72BU aka T-90). Many features from this prototype are gradually incorporated into T-90 design.

Kostas has the floor.

Is that one of the rebuilt Canadian M-113A3's just sent to Afghanistan Costas?

It's a Dutch YPR-765 AIFV.

The thing that tipped me off was the uniforms the soldier was wearing, and the colour of the vehicle. This vehicle was repainted into desert camouflage. Canada hasn't bothered painting their vehicles into a sandy colour.
