Afghan armored unit disappearing, T-55 and T-62 MBTs getting derelict
Surviving old T-55 and T-62 tanks of the Afghan army are still in action throughout the country but they are gradually succumbing to the ravages of time, as any observer can assess when accompanying the courageous army anywhere in the provinces. To keep them in working condition is a permanent challenge that imposes ingenuity (“D-system”) often involving cannibalization of other tanks.
