A Cat B division still having T-10s? They had to have been tagged for Southwestern TVD not to have any T-64s or T-72s. I do remember seeing the 1990 V-E Day parade on the news, those T-34s looked factory fresh. They had T-34s in the 1995 parade if I'm not mistaken.
Chico, have you read the book Defcon-2: the Story of the Cuban Missile Crisis? The authors say that the four MR Regiments sent to Cuba were independent regiments, and were reflagged before deploying to Cuba. The reason they were chosen was that if they were split off from a parent division, it'd be a sign that something was up and Western Intelligence might get wind of it.
