[edit] Summary

This page is need of a summary section/table at the beginning that looks something like: Total Personnel: 333,000 Main Battle Tanks: 2,350 APC: 4,230 Artillery: 1,560 Numbers are obviously wrong but I hesitate to put this stuff on my own without a debate. Also, this should go into the general summary of all Egyptian armed forces... 89.1.213.91 22:54, 24 March 2007 (UTC)Roy

what does "out of .... remaining in 19.." ??? i mean what happened to the others does that mean they are sold, destroyed, or in reserve??? please any one post an answer

in the T-62 and T-55 cases it is writen that the number in service is out of a number remained in some year , what happened to the other tanks ??? were they sold?? are they used as spare parts?? but that is not sujjesable as the number not in service is much bigger than the ones in service , any one have an idea please tell me..

The answer to your question is that the number that is now in service is what is stated in the page. The number of tanks of these models were at one time, when in full strength much higher as stated. The remaining tanks are either scrapped, or used as spare parts. There are some which were refurbished and given to the Lebanese Army and I think the Sri Lankan army too, but I am not sure of the second one. The reason that the Egyptian Army did not refurbish or upgrade all its inventory of these tanks is that even after its upgrade, these tanks are of a lesser quality of comparable tanks in the opposing armed armies of the neighboring nations and there was no point of upgrading more that a limited number of these tanks until the newer tanks are either delivered or manufactured. They simply serve as interim armor till full strength of the modern ones are at hand. Orthopraxia August 09, 2007, 09:37 PM PST.
