Talk:Libyan Army
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Id like to comment on several negative things posted in this article.
dubious numbers?
The Libyans with an army of some 40,000 in 1970 purchased thousands of Tanks and hundreds of Aircrafts from the soviets, they had allways planned on having spares and equipment in storage in a ratio of two to one in the field.
The t-55s mentioned are infact t-54's
the Libyan spares are not bad they are in salt mines and air conditioned dehumidified depots, the Pakistanis recently purchased libyan Mirage 3,5's and were quite surprised expecting to use them as parts and were actualy able to use the libyan equipments for regular service and send their australian manufactured mirages into spares.
