No joo. Afganistanin luvut on NL:n ilmoittamia ja tuo 1200+ Ukrainan ilmoittamia. Toisessa tsetsenian sodassa Venäjä omien lukujen mukaan ei menettänyt kuin viisi vaunua ja vastustaja taisi ilmoitti yli sadasta. Suolaa.
Miten hän koulutus matkaajille noihin T-62 osalta. Onko enää kouluttajia? Taitaa tulla tykistöstä, kun T-64 sarjasta alkaen ollut automaattilataajat.
Afganistanissa venäläisten panssarisota jäi aika vähiin, tosin tuttujakin piirteitä löytyy:
"The Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan, in support of the Communist government there, in December 1979.
They arrived with a large contingent of tanks. These were mostly older tanks – T-54/T-55s, T-62s and PT-76s.
However, they soon found that these tanks were practically useless in the Afghan mountain passes. Tank suffered hit and run attacks by guerrilla fighters, who had been provided with anti-tank weapons by the United States.
The Mujahideen often attacked cities, which meant that the Soviet tanks had to deal with urban combat – something for which these old tanks were not designed.
By the middle of 1980, an entire tank regiment had been recalled to the Soviet Union because it was deemed useless.
Soviet tank crewmen sometimes abandoned their vehicles.
In February 1989, after more than nine years of fighting, the Soviet Union withdrew from Afghanistan. When the Soviets withdrew, they left tanks behind in Afghanistan. They can still be found, rusting, all over the Afghan countryside.
During the war, the People’s Republic of China supplied the Mujahideen with a small number of Type 59 main battle tanks.
