I guess you go with what you got.

Why not, as long as they still function?

You also have to realize many of these countries have them to run over revolting civilians if something shits the bed.

Yeah, it's not like there's too many folks running around with a Javelin in those places.

Might be what with Ukraine arms dealers doing a bumping business in US equipment right now.

You would think some of those broke-dick countries would auction them off to the highest bidder.....Hard to tell what a turn-key M-3 would bring these days.

T-50-2? Looks like a scout light tank or T-34?

I think those are T-34's.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

I think those are T-34's.

Yeah I took another look, those are T-34

Exactly.

That is the Type 59 tank. A Chinese made copy of the T-54, which itself is just a 1946 upgrade of the T-34. They would not have stood a chance against the Soviets-Russians or US, but against their own population they were more than enough.

No, the T-54 isa an upgrade of the T-44 a completely different tank than the T-34. The only things they had in common were the gun and turret
