The T70125 is a family of Velikoslavian main battle tanks that entered production in late 1969. Around 3,500 units were built as the intended replacement for older T60110 and T50100 units that made up the armored forces. Through refurbishment programs and modernizations, the vehicle has remained in service globally, though it was relegated to storage in 2001 when the T80125 fully replaced it within front line armored divisions. Vushok Armor Works has since offered an upgrade package to allow older vehicles to remain in service for longer and though it has left production, it is still capable of being ordered after it was cleared for Level 3 export clearance in 2002. The Elatian V-74 main battle tank is a subsequent development of the T70125.
